EASTON, Pa, April 2S.-Samuel C.
Carpenter. of this city, accused of the
murder of Mrs. Ray Blackwell, of Phil
npsburg, n. j., cut his throat in the
cell occupied by him, and is now lying
at the point of death. Carpenter, who
is about forty-two years of age, was
formerly postmaster at Asbury, but
moved to Easton about six months ago.
Z. He ia married and has several children
but common rumor has for year past
connected his name with that of Mrs.
Blackwell, the widow of a physician
formerly residing in Madison, N j.
Carpenter visited her Friday night,
leaving soon after supper A few
hours later the woman's body was
found with bullet hole in her right
temple and a revolver by her side, evil

his cell with his throat cut from ear

SALvATl0NISTS JAILED.
They Begin a War Against Oak
land Ordinances.

OAKLAND, April 2s-The Salvation
Army corps of this city, headed by
Ensign Wood, marched into the city
prison last night, in custody of Chief
Scatter, who arrested the entire army
on charge of obstructing the street.
The army has hardly anticipated the
entire garrison would be forced to
captitulate to the superior authority
OF the police department.
The army carried the threats into
action last evenin, and instead of
simply parading the back streets. took
its accustomed stand and commenced
its open air session. The leader had
a permit from Mayor Davy to hold
the session, as the ordinance required
but Ensign Wood, after consultation
with attorneys, decided to give battIa
to the authorities as to the validity
OF the ordinance which prohibits meet
mgs within the fire limits witho,,t
permission of the mayor. Ensign
wood and his Salvation followers do
not believe the ordinance is constitp-
tional.

BRITISH ARE SERENE.
They Have No Doubt as to the
Outcome in Nicaragua.

LONDON, April 2S-The following
semi-official note was issued from the
foreign office this evening:
Up to now nothing has been official
ly received regarding the course of
events in Nicaragua. No notification.
has been received of the landing of
blue jackets, as stated in the press
dispatches. The absence of Informal
ton is believed to be due to the fact
that the telegraph lines have been cut
Up to this evening the admiralty is
also without information. No anxiety
is felt as to the outcome of the Earl of
Kimberly's attitude. There is not the
slightest doubt that Nicaragua will
accede to the British demand What
ever may be the extent of the pressure
required to bring about this result, the
government will not hesitate to apply
it.
The Observer says: 'It is, indeed.
probable that the most Englishmen
feel some regret that we have been
driven to take strong measures against
remote little South American re-
public. The only conclusion that we
can discover is that we really could not
help ourselves. The truth appears to
be that the Nicaraguan government is
thinking quite as much about what
would be good for itself as what would
be the best thing for Nicaragua Now
that Admiral Stephensons forces are
in command at Corinto, it may be
hoped that the Nicaraguan govern
ment will find itself in a position to
make the concessions required by the
ultimatum.''
The Graphic says: 1.-THE world is in
debted to Nicaragua for supplying an
object lesson in international law.
There being no shipping to seize, we
pay ourselves in another way that was
not unforeseen by the authorities.
President Jackson, in 1884, laid down
that it was well settled principle

which it contracted to pay, the creditor
nation might seize sufficient property
belonging to the debtor nation or its
subjects without giving cause for war"
LONDON, April 29.-The Daily News

LONDON, April 28.-The United

and Nicaragua. Ambassador Baya,d,
acting under instructions from Wash
ingtOn, represented to the British
foreign office that Nicaragua, if
given two weeks additional time
from the expiration of the three days
fixed in the ultimatum, would meet
Great Britan's demand for the pay
ment of 1000 indemnity for the eX-
pulsion of Proconsul Hatch Lord
Kimberly acceded to this, and as
1T was presumed that the state de-
partment at Washington was acting
for Nicaragua it was thought that
the incident would be closed without
further complications. But as Mica
Iagua refused at the last moment to
acquiesce in this arrangement, the
original plan of occupying Corinto
was carried out. 1t is now believed
here that Nicaragua secured the in
termediation of the United States for
the sole purpose of delay.

Why Gresham Tried to Secure
Delay for Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, April 28-The dis
patches received by the Associated
Press today from England and Costa
Rica throw additional light on the
attitude of the administration in re-
gard to the Nicaragu incident. 1t is
evident that both the United States
and the Central American republics
were anxious to secure a, peaceful set
tlement of the difficulty by the ray
ment of the indemnity demanded by
Great Britain for the expulsion of Pro-
Consul Hatch. President Yglesas, Of
the republic of Costa Rica, if the cable
adViceS are correct, offered 10. con-
tribute portion of the money, while
the state department here, through
Ambassador Bayard at London, ar
ranged for an extension of two weeks,
in which the money could be raised if
Nicaragua would agree to settle on this
basis. 1t is not known exactly Wat
represen tations were made to tie stale
department here by Nicaragua or
Nicaragua's representative to induce
Secretary Gresham to cable Mr.. Pay
ard these instructions, but as the pop
uIar feeling in Nicaragua was ell
against yielding, it is believed tina: the
government of Nicaragua concluded,
out of Difference to it, and possibly as
a means of it's own preservation, to
stand out in the hope of ultimately ir-
ducing, If possible, active intervention
of the United States. 1t is said that the
state department has all along adj
vised Nicaragua that the expulsion of
Consul Hatch was an offense that no
self-respecting country could over
Great Britain.
When hampton and WiItbank, the
citizens of the United States, were ex-
PEELED from Bluefields, last July, fer
alleged completely in the conspiracy to
defy Nicaraguan authority on the
Mosquito coast, in which it was said
Consul Hatch was involved, the senti-
ment in this country was strong, and
the state department took such Wig
orous steps that hampton and Wilt
bank were not only permitted to re
turn, but they were restored to all
their rights and property, and a pub
lie ball was given in their honor At
that time it was believed that Mic
aragua would show the same willing
ness to furnish redress to England
that she did to the United States Eut

lowed to reach the acute stage, and
Great Britain. in accordance with
the terms of Isar ultimatum,
seized Corinto to enforce the

Much interest is manifested in diplo-
matte circles in the situation. Secre-
tary Gresham drove to Woodley this
afternoon and had long consultation
with the president. 1t was thought
that some statement would be made
upon his return, but the secretary de-
clined to give out anything. The fact
that the United States has been Off
