she will take. This will include the ex-

are usual and necessary. without reference
to the locality of the ships.
State Department officials are still firmly
convinced that the Nicaraguan government
will pay the indemnity, and believe that the
delay grows entirely out of considerations
of political eXpediency. The Nicaraguans
here count the active sympathy and SUBJ
stantial support of the other Central Amer
lean republics in the event of actual HOSTILE
ties. They do not express the belief that
their sister republics will take part as such,
but feel confident that individual volunteers
will come to the Nicaraguans in sufficient
numbers to give them an effective army of
at least $4,000 men. While with this force
they could not expect to defeat the British

SYNDICATE WHEATr
Two Thousand Tons, Worth 81 SOC, 900,
Placed ON the Market.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-The Even
ing Bulletin says that two thousand tons of
syndicate wheat" which has been stored
for two years in the warehouse of the late
James G. Fair at Port Costa has been
placed on the market. The wheat is of the
crop of 1892, 1888 and 1894. 1t is said that
the Luning estate loaned Fair 100000 to
corner the wheat and that the Luning es-
tate management, nervous for fear wevil
might damage its security. has pressed the
Fair estate to take up this loan. The 1892
and 1898 wheat cannot, under the rules, be
sold on Change, SO the wheat will be adj
vertised for buyers generally. The wheat is
estimated to be worth 81 100000. Whether
sold here or not, getting so large a uHan-
tity OF wheat out of por' Ill be a prob
lem. Negotiations have made for a
shipment of part of the by rail to
New Orleans, thence to Ii, oil. 1t would
require five thousand car. move half
of the stored wheat. To ship all the wheat

by the Treasury Department or the Board

canned cod roe were classified by the coli

act. The eggs had gone through the pre-

down and badly hurt.
To-day was the first of the coal heaving
season, and before work began their
first barge the Richardson company an
nounced that it would not pay the old rate
of IL cents, but would cut the price to
cents. The union refused to accept
the cut and the work preceded with nom
union men. This afternoon three hundred
union men marched to the dock and de-
manded that the nonunion men stop work.
They refused and the mob at at
tackled them. The company had antici-
pated trouble and had secured the detail
of four policemen to protect their men.
Several of the crowd managed to get in
the rear of officer Streeter, and making a
rush on him threw him down and proceed
ed to KICK him ABOUT the neaQ ana DOdy.
They, in spite of the efforts of the other
officers. drove all the workmen away from
the derricks, and compelled work to cease
for about an hour. The three officers see
ing that they were unable to make any
headway against the mob sent word to the
Rawson-street police station for assistance,
and in a few minutes twenty or1icers, under
Captain Koch, arrived at the scene. They
quickly drove back the crowd, but were
compelled to fire several shots in the air
to COW the strikers. A small detail was
then left to guard the dock and the work
progressed without further interruption.
it reduced the scale because the men could
make 81 a day at cents ton, and they
thought that under the present conditIons

pay. Several other coal firms have de-
clared that they will not pay more than
cents and more trouble is looked for when
the coal season is fairly on.
