CHlcKAsAW REVOLT.

Bloody Battle Between the Forces.
GUTHRIE, Okla, April 19.-Couriers
just arrived from Tishomingo, the
capital of the Chickasaw Nation, report
that battle is raging between
Governor Mosely and 200 instructions
lists. Six people have been killed and
eight wounded, the report says, and
the greatest excitement prevails The
cause of the trouble is due to bad
political blood which has long pervaded
the Chickasaw seat of government.
Governor Mosely issued orders to all
sheriffs, constables and deputies
throughout the nation to report to him
with arms. When the officers gathered
around the house, 200 enraged men,
headed by McGill and the Brown
brothers, rushed from the adjoining
houses and deadly riot followed.
The names of the dead and wounded
could not be ascertained by the
couriers, owing to the great excitement
which prevailed. Governor Mosely
and his official retinue escaped by
rushing to houses on the outskirts of
the town. Moseiy has called special
session of the legislature to take action.
Tishomingo is now in state of terrible
excitement and white people are flee
ing. Another carnage is looked for at
any moment

ENGLAND AND NICARAGUA.


The Latter Country Apparently Too San
guinc.
WASHINGTON, April 19.The rumor
is going here that President Zelala OF
Nicaragua, has taken too optimistic a
view of the state of relations between
Great Britain and his own country, in
assuming that the former has decided
to desist from carrying out her
ultimatum to Nicaragua, and that she
has agreed to allow the claim for
indemnity to go to arbitration.
While there is an absence OF
official information, diplomatic officials
in Washington regard 1t as set
tied that Great Britain will proceed
to enforce her claim against Mic
aragua by moderate but firm means.
The impression also prevails thatwith
parliament in session the government
would not risk an appeal to that body
by moderating or yielding to the pro
posals of minor power. The claim is
now referred to as debt and it is said
that if Great Britain yielded in this
case to compromise it would so en-
courage the evasion of these demands
for PREPARATION that ten warships would
be necessary to enforce them next
year, whereas three will suffice now.

SELECTED HANKEYE MENTION.
PENSION FRAUD CASES.


Council Bluffs.
COUNCIL. BLUFFS, April II The
promised sensation in the two Edging-
ton pension fraud cases developed
when the defense put on the stand the
aged mother of the dead soldier whose
family supposed to be +. M. Edgington.
When the name Of Winnie NJ. Perkins
was called an aged lady arose and, was
assisted to the stand by her grandson,
young A. A. Edgington, the defendant.
She said her home was in jackson
county, Iowa. that she was rs years of
age. She said that her boy left home
when Is years Of age and returned in
1862 with wife. He told his mother
he was going by the name of Francis
Nj. Edgington; that he resided near
Avoca, but if She wrote to him she
could write by his proper name, Jesse
Franklin Perkius-that he would
receive the mail. They remained sew
eral days. She never saw his wife
again until after the death of her son,
and then visited her at Avoca; never
disclosed her sons proper name until
she came to the Bluffs the present
time. A question to give the reason
for not telling was objected to and the
objection sustained, the court saying
it would protect a family secret which
had been kept for thirty-fve years
When at Ayoca seven or eight years
ago her grandson had spoken to her in
reference to the service of her son in
the army for the suppression of the
rebellion, and she said her son had
told her that he had been in the army.
Mrs. Perkins conduct on the stand
created most favorable impression.
She spoke low, but the court room was
unusually quiet while she gave her
testimony, which was not shaken by
cross-examination 1t is now believed
that Edgington, who is charged with
swearing falsely in order to secure a
pension for his mother, will be
acquitted.
CoUNcn BLUFFS, April 19.-After
being out twenty-four hours the jury
in the federal court returned verdict
of guilty against Arlington A. Edging-
ton, charged with making false
affidavit in support of a false pension.

The Rebels Completely Routed After a

HAVANA, April II. -Maceo is captur-
ed and Gubaslast hope gone. Crombet
is killed. Without these two leaders
all is chaos in the insurgent ranks and
liberty's most ardent friends admit
that the Cuban cause is lost. The
Spanish authorities are posting bulle-
tins and the loyaltists in Havana are
celebrating the ending of the revolu-
ton. The Cuban army and Spanish
forces met at Palmarito. The rebels
numbered 1000 and Spaniards 5000.
After desperate battle of two hours
the rebels We're routed, and Meceo
captured, with all his personal and
private papers. In a hand to hand
conflict number of Cuban officers, in
Guiding one colonel, were killed.
Captain General Calleja has received
information from the scene of the
fighting of the capture of General
Maceo, the killing of Brigadier Gener-
al Flor Crombet and the overwhelming
defeat of the rebels. Maceo will
doubtless be executed.
HAVANA, April 17Chagrin and
anger succeeded the premature elation
of Captain Calleja over the supposed
capture of the insurgent general, Jose
Maceo. It appears that it was Maceo's
double, Colonel Guerre, who was
captured. Anticipating the usual
efforts for his capture, the willy Maceo
went into battle in disguise and after
defeat escaped to the mountains with
few followers.

Trouble anticipated between the
strikers and the miners at Cincin-
natl was prevented by the presence
of the militia in that place The word
had been passed all over the county
for all miners to assemble at Cincinnati
in time to be on hand in the morning
when the working miners went into
the shafts, as 1t was the intention to
prevent them doing so at all hazards.
In accordance with this miners set out
for Cincinnati from all over the county,
and would have without doubt succeed
ed in their plans had not the sheriff
checked them by ordering out Com
pany q. OF Centerville, and by night
march had them ready at the scene of

Twenty years ago Miss Theda Groth-

Grothaus 500 a year for the support of
her offspring BY the death of his
father, William Everhart, Henry has
come into possession of part of the
estate. and he Is now financially able
to pay the Judgment obtained by Miss
Grothaus, which now amounts to
almost $1,000. Daniel Kerr has been
employed to prosecute the case, and
has levied on property to make the
claim secure.
Avingon A. Edgington, of Avoca, is

ell Bluffs, charged with making fraud
ulent affidavits in a pension claim case.
Under indictment for the same ofense
are Mrs Jennie NJ. Edgington. his
mother; W. B. and G. NJ Cuppy, his
uncles. The alleged fraud was COM
mitted in trying to obtain a pension
for his mother under the dependent
widow act OF 1890. The affidavit
setting forth the fraudulent statements
was concerning his father, now
deceased. The parties are prominent
in Pottawattamie county.
