ing work upon surveys and building
operations, and the possible destruc-
ton of its property. The company, he
said, wanted protection for its inter-
ests, If not from the Nicaraguan gov
ernment then from the outside The
concessions of the company were safe,
being from de facto government, but
the line of the canal was not. He also
said that the concession entitled the
entire line of the canal to protection,
but an uncomfortable revolution may
result in destruction of property by
irresponsible persons. Mr.. Miller said
he had called the attention of the state
department to the necessity for pro-
lection to the commission that is soon
to leave for Nicaragua for the pur-
pose of making an examination of the
route of the canal. He says that it will
be very dangerous, in case of revolu-
tionary disturbances, for an unpro-
tected party to make the trip over the
line of the canal. The commission be-
ing under the direction of the state
department, it will, Of course, be
necessary for the department to ask
the navy department for an armed
force in case such a force is deemed
necessary. Mr.. Miller urged upon both
Secretary Gresham and Secretary Her
bert the necessity of such protection
to the engineers commission, and also
indicated that as United States citizens
were so largely interested in the canal
and it's property, that in case of revolu-
tionary disturbances the United States
should not depend upon the Nicaraguan
government to protect the property.
Mr.. Miller Said that Nicaragua had
been tranquil up to two years ago, but
the revolution at that time had dis
turbed affairs there, and since then
they had been in an unsettled condi-
ton.
Mr.. Miller says that the canal COM
pany desire to afford every opportun-
ity for the United States commission
to make a thorough examination of the
canal. The engineers in cnarge would
offer the commission every facility,
and he expected that the chief en-
gineer, Mr.. Menocal, would accompany
the commission over the route of the
canal.

Not to Check British, but Pro-

Of Revolt.

7 NIANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 20.
A proposition of compromise and
Immediate evacuation of Corinto by
the British is now under considera-
tion between Washington, London
and the authorities here. The propo-
sition embraces the following essen
tial points:
First-Nicaragu is to pay $77,5OO
at London within two weeks.
Second-The British forces are to
be Immediately Withdrawn from Cor
Into, without waiting for the two
weeks to elapse.
Third-A mixed commission of ar
bitration is to pass on the demands
Of Great Britain in excess of the
s77,500 claim, such commission to be
constituted in a manner satisfactory
TO the United States and Nicaragua.
The foregoing terms, it is believed,
will be accepted by President Zelaya
and his cabinet. 1t is understood that
the suggestion of settlement came
from the Nicaraguan representative
at Washington, and it is believed
that such an adjustment would be
agreeable to the United States au-
thorities. If Nicaragua's acceptance
is given, the proposition will be urged
on the London foreign office, and it
it is believed it will be accepted.

POSSIBILITY OF REVOLUTION.
cred of Greatest Importance at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-While
there We're many wild rumors flying
about the city today touching the state
of affairs at Corinto, some to the eff
feet that the difficulty had been patched
and that the British had withdrawn on
the basis of a submission of the Brit
ish claim to arbitration, and others to
show that the British had extended
their original programme, so as now to
include the dispatch of a fleet of war
ships to collect debt owing by Hon
duras, it appeared that none of them
had any real basis, or at least they
failed to attract the interest of the
state department, which evidently looks
upon the possibility of revolution in
Nicaragua as the phase of the case
possessing great Importance just now,
and which it regards as the absolutely
essential one to provide against, so far
as it threatens American interests,
among which, of course, are included
those OF the Nicaraguan canal. The
story of a contemplated onslaught on
Honduras is regarded as absurd, as
there is no justification for any such
action. If the British have any claims
against that country they certainly
do not grow out of insult offered TO
a British official, on which Great Brit
ain has made the issue in the Nicara-
guam case, and if there be any claims
for ill-treatment of individuals, they
would first be pressed by ordinary Dip
lomatic courses before they are made
the Easis of a naval demonstration.
So far as the rumors of arbitration are
concerned, the state department was

The Cause Of the Disturbance

THREE MEN WERE WOUNDED
SWEEPING CUT In WAGES.

CHICAGO, April pa reduction
from II to cents a ton for heaving
coal brought on a lively riot today
at the docks of the o. S. Richard
son Coal company. Three men were
injured, none of them seriously, ho7i.
ever, and it required the presence
of twenty officers to quell the dis
turbance.
The injured were: Police officer
Henry Sltreeter, knocked down,
kicked about the head and body, re-
celvlng many severe cuts and bruis-
es. Lawrence Vent, coal HEAVIER.
badly pounded with club. Unknown
bystander, knocked down and badly
beaten.
Today was the first of the coal
heavers' season, and before work be-
gan on their first barge the Richard
son company announced that it
would not pay the old rate of IL
cents, but would cut the price to
cents. The union men refused to ac-
cept the cut and the work
proceeded with non-union men. This
afternoon 300 union men marched to
the dock and demanded that the nom
union men stop their work. They
refused, and the
MOB AT ONCE ATTACKED
them. The company had anticipated
trouble and had secured the detail
of four policemen to protect their
men. Several of the men made a rush
on Officer Streeter, and, knocking
MIN down, proceeded to kick him
ABOUT the head and body. They in
spite of the efforts of the other Off
GERS, drove all the workmen away
from the derrlcks and compelled
work to cease for about an hour.
The three officers, seeing that thew
were unable TO make any headWay
against the mob, sent word to Raw
son street police station for assist
ance, and in a few minutes twenty
onlcers under Capt. Kock arrived
on the scene. They quickly drove
back the crowd, but were soon COM
PEELED to fire several shots in the
air to COW the strikers. A small de-
tail was then left to guard the dock
and the work progressed without
further interruption.
The Richardson company declared
that it reduced the scale because the
men could make S4 day at eight
cents a ton, and they thought that
under the present conditions of busi-
ness that was enough for them to
pay. Several other coal firms have
declared that they will not pay more
than eight, and more trouble is
looked for when the coal season is
fairly on.

THE BRITISH PRESS.
No Quarrel With United States
Nicaragua Must Re Subdued

Nicaragua MUST lie SuDuueG.
LONDON, April 29.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon, commenting
upon the occupation of Corinto by the
British squadron under Rear Admiral
Stephenson, says: I'VE do not want
to hurt Nicaragua, but only to teach
her manners. The world will smile at
President Zelaya's memorial. He be-
walls Nicaragua's smallness and weak
ness. We fancy that is one point in
which the world regarded Nicaragua
with satisfaction. Imagine hornet as
big and strong as an elephant
The st. James Gazette this after
noon, referring to the same subject,
remarks: 'Great Britain has at
length taken proper measures with
the insolent, anarchial little Spanish
American republic. If the barbarian
republics did not calculate upon the
final protection of the United States,
they would behave themselves The
Monroe doctrine has been the subject
for much foolish defamation 1t is
apparent it is understood to mean that
America is prepared to protect every
Spanish-Anerican half-breed who
thinks it fit to rob an European. OF
course, this is nonsense. The Mica
raguans and Venezuelans do not I'M
derstand that the noisy electioneerings
swagger of certain papers in America
will not influence the action of the
federal government. We are now
DETERMINED TO STOP
the intolerant insolence and aggres-
sion of these caricatures of civilized
states. We began with Nicaragua,
and it is understood that we intend to
continue with Venezuela
Commenting upon the talk of the
general alliance between Great Britain
and the United States, the st. James
Gazette says:
1--WE would rather have it (alliance)
with the United States than any other
people, but a standing offensive and
defensive agreement is a comprehen-
sive thing. Both sides of the agree
ment would act together in defined
region for a limited number of OBJ
jects. Another matter is that the in
terests of Great Britain and the United
States in Central America and ports of
South America are Identical We do
not intend to make conquests any,
where in America, and therefore, the
ousy. Both nations desire to trade in
peace, and are molested by Spanish
American anarchy. This, then, is a
proper foundation for allied action. If
the United States is prepared to act
with us, we are very well disposed to
accept the cooperation
The Globe this afternoon, referring
editorially to the trouble between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, says:
1.-The situation in Nicaragua is more
suggestive of opera bouffe than the
prosaic actualities of ordinary life.
The Monroe doctrine is not an axiom
of international law, nor, so far as we
are aware, binding upon anybody save
its inventor, President Monroe The
proposed canal may possibly give
Nicaragua Importance in American
eyes which she otherwise does not
possess; but, in spite of talk in ire
sponsible American newspapers, we are
glad to note that the government of
the United States does not show de-
sire to quarrel with Great Britain
over the Monroe doctrine

DEFECTIVE AFTER BELL.
Dead Girl Severely Censured by
Members of BeII,s Church


OLDBURY, April 29.-It is reported
that a special detective has been sent
here from Scotland Yard to investi-
gate the Emily Hall case, but the DO
lice say they know nothing about il.
The police authorities here express
surprise that they have received no
communication from the American no.
lice in regard to the case 1t was ru-
mored today that Bell had secretly
returned to his home The house was
watched, and it was soon proved that
the story was false. The only known
portrait of Bell was contained in a.
group picture, which was hung in the
parlor of his home. Today this picture
disappeared, and it is said that the
Scotland Yard authorities had de-
manded it. This is denied by Mrs.
Bell.
The Hall family are waiting for the
American authorities to prosecute Bell.
as they are unable to do anything.
Some of the members of Bells church
deem him to be not the only one
guilty, and they severely censure the
dead girl. Mrs. Bell was today adj
vfsed not to refer to her husband. She
does not think that he has left Eng
land. The Blackheath police have not
yet received any official instructions
from the United States.

LIKE THE HAYWARD CASE.
Bixby Murder Trial on the Docket
at Hudson.

HUDSON, Wis, April 29.-The cele-
brated Bixby case is on in the circuit
court. BiXby was arrested for shoot
ing his wife for the purpose of getting
$1,000 in life insurance which had been
written for her in his favor. If the
states theory is true the murder was
more 6iabolical than the Cling case,
although of similar character. Bixby
has borne a good reputation in the
county, and is we'll connected. The
state has fifty witnesses subpoenaed
and the defense has also a large num-
Der. Two or three days will probably
be occupied in securing a jury, and
the case may last for two weeks Sew
eral attorneys have been engaged on
each side.

cause OF his disappearance, but proof
being lacking nothing was ever done.
Thesneighbors with whom he left town
that evening got into trouble trying to
beat an insurance company and left
the country. The woman afterwards
took up with another man and has
lately died, making an ante-mortem
statement that she and her husband,
Doohttle, had murdered Spears on
their way home that evening, dragged
his body to the lake, chained it in
small boat, which they filed with
stones, took it out in deep water and
sank boat and all. She located the
spot where the body lies, but owing to
the length of time elapsed it is very
doubtful of it's being found.
