ON THE EVE OF WAR.
ri (SN&KA INDIAN TROUBLE
S&eAeECoMING SERIOUS.
Dispute Between the Government Agent
and the Flournoy Company Reaches
Climax-The Trouble in North Da.
kota.

Pender, Neb., May 1.-Sheriff Mullin
openly declared yesterday if a single
white settler was murdered by Indian
police while resisting eviction before
the courts settled the Winnebago res
ervation matter it meant annihilation
of the Winnebagos. He said he had
letters from hundreds of men all over
Thurston county and even from other
counties who volunteered their serv-
ices to assist in wiping out every Indian
on the reservation if single white set
tier was killed. Sheriff Mullin added
that if Capt. Beck persisted in forcing
trouble before the courts settled the
subject he would take posse of suf-
f1cient numerical strength to invade the
agency and he would arrest Capt. Beck.
The sheriff expressed the belief that
Capt. Beck would not dare attempt an
other movement with any hope of sue
cess unless by the aid of troops.
The refusal of Federal Judges Dundy
and Riner at Lincoln to grant man
datory injunction requiring the tenants
of the Flournoy Live Stock and Real
Estate Company to vacate the Indian
lands they claim on the Winnebago
reservation has brought the dispute to
nounced his intention of continuing
evictions of those tenants who hold by
virtue of leases effected with the In
dams without the consent and sanction
of the agent. This will doubtless lead
to bloodshed, as the people of Thurston
county are divided into factions over
the trouble existing between the Indian
agent and the Flournoy company, and
feeling has been running high up there
for some time.
Under holdings of the federal judges
the order issued last March by Judge
Sanborn of the northern district was
continued in force until further orders
of the court. This simply forbade the
Flournoy company and those who hold
upon similar leases from making any
new leases. The ones now held by the
Flournoy Company will expire January
1, 1896. It has been held by one of the
federal courts that the sanction of the
agent is necessary to the validity OF a
lease made by an Indian of his land.
Under this ruling Agent Beck proposes
to proceed with the evictions.

MENACE TO AMERICA.
OUR INTERESTS IMPERlLED IN
NICARAGUA.
Indemnity Demanded by England May
Be Paid with British Money and .
Surplus Be Left Over-Bitter Words
for Our Government.

Washington, May 1.-The two
weeks armistice asked by Nicaragua
and obtained through the good offices
of the United States is to all intents
dead letter. The delay was granted on
the condition that Nicaragua would
agree to pay the indemnity before the
expiration Of the two weeks. That gov
ernment did not make the pledge, and
there the matter rests 1t is not queS-
ton of cash, for Nicaragua has been
offered the money from at least three
different sources, viz:
l. A London syndicate.
2. Merchants and citizens of Nicara-
qua.
3. The Nicaragua Canal company.
The state department has no explana-
ton to offer as to the motives that may
be influencing Nicaragua, but 1t can be
stated frankly that the administration
is very much disgusted with the COM
plexion affairs are taking. Not the least
disturbing feature Of the complication
is the discovery that Nicaragua has
been and is still figuring with London
capitalists to be released from ma
tional debt of about 100000 cash bonus
in the national treasury to start with
on a new era of financiering. That this
is cutting an important figure in the
| matter is recognized, and it goes a long
| way to show that, however much the
Nicaraguans and English may be out
| wardly ''scrapping," relations under
| the surface are of character that may
! lead to sudden settlement of the dis
| pute upon terms to the decided disad-
| vantage of the United States in a COM
mercial and political sense.

have already convinced their govern

than we covet Nicaragua"

WARSHIPS ON GUARD.
Three Vessels Ordered to Proceed to
Ports in Nicaragua.

Washington, May 1.-Some sudden
and unexpected orders issued to United
States naval vessels late yesterday
caused a sensation for a time until the
import OF the order was explained. The
Alert, which has been stationed for
month or more at Panama watching
theprOgress Of the revolutionary move
ment in Colombia, was ordered to pro-
ceed at once to San Juan del Sur, the
nearest cable port to Corinto, Nicar-
aqua. The Raleigh, now on her way
from Kingston, Jamaica, to Key West
and expected to arrive at the latter
place any moment, will find awaiting
her orders to go at once to Greytown,
the eastern terminus Of theproposed
Nicaragua canal. The Montgomery,
now at Mobile, will follow the Atlanta
May with the Nicaraguan canal COM
mission aboard. The Monterey will also
be there. She is not expected to touch
at Corinto, and as she is now beyond
the reach of orders by wire she will
probably be allowed to relieve the Alert
at Panama, whence she can be ordered
back to Nicaragua if trouble arises in
the future.
Secretary Herbert says the move
ments Of the ships have absolutely
nothing to do with the present occu-
patton of Corinto by the British, that
being matter to be settled between
the Nicaraguans and the British. The
real purpose Of the orders was to guard
American interests in Nicaragua against
the consequences Of a possible revolu-
tion which may result from the dis
turbed condition Of the country.

BITTER WORDS FOR US.

Nicaraguan Statesman Accuses Our GOv-
ernment of Treachery.
Managua, Nicaragua, May IA
leading Nicaragua statesman in an in
terview said:
"Our government has received no Of
ficial advices from Washington, by
which we gather that the Americans
have turned their backs upon us and
refuse to succor us in the hour Of trial.
The English have at least pluck in their
favor. They have the insolence to defy
through us the entire American conti-
nent, while the United States can never
justify its weakness Of action, which
will remain a blot upon the nations his
tory. Weak and small as our nation is.
we have shown more courage than the
United States, which encouraged us,
only to desert us at the last moment"
In concluding he said that he would
have preferred to see the much-vaunt-
ed Monroe doctrine die more dignifed
death. At a late hour last evening Pres
ident Zelaya received a telegram from
Washington stating that Great Britain
would withdraw her ships from Corinto
and give Nicaragua fifteen days in
which to pay the $4,000 smart money If
such proposition would be accepted by
Nicaragua. President Zelaya at once
held an audience with his principal adj
visers, and a reply will probably be
made within a few hours.

members of the B'nai BIRTH congrega-

Israel Josephs, has rendered his resig-
nation to accept a call from a congre-

Josephs has been pastor of the local
Jewish congregation for four years,

slble nature for his charge. He was
educated at the Union of America
Hebrew college of Cincinnati, and dur
ing his four years as pastor of this
charge he has made many warm
friends among his own people. as well
as among the citizens at large. He is
a splendid talker, and his lectures have
always been heard by large audiences,
and well received.
