REGRETS THE QUARREL
But England Cannot Stand Repeated Insults
Even from Little Nicaragua.

London, April 2S.-The Morning Post
will say, tomorrow: Nicaragua per
mitted extreme measures and shows a
decided opposition on her part to the policy
pursued by Mr.. Cleveland. We are in
clned to think that the true reason for
her course is the understanding that she
shall act with Venezuela, both meaning to
do their utmost to induce Washington to
espouse their cause on the ground that
holding aloof would contravene the Mon
roe doctrine. Whatever President Mon
roe's views WERE he certainly never medi-
tated assisting state which bad insulted
foreign nation. 1t may be assumed that
Nicaragua's action will fail"
The Daily News will say: 1.-The quarrel
with Nicaragua is small but one in which
decisive action is imperatively forced up
on Great Britain. Lord Kimberly acted
with the greatest consideration and
Nicaragua presumed upon his forbearance
There is always something odious in the
necessity of large state coercing small
one, but the small one has taken the near
advantage of it's smallness to put itself
pcrsistently in the wrong"

GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
At Failure Of United States to Help Nicarasua
Out OF the Trouble.

London, April 2S-Advices received
from Nicaragua state that the excitement
throughout Nicaragua increases. Great
disappointment is expressed at the failur,
of the United States to secure some modi
fication Of Great Britain's terms.
While the conservative course pursued
by the Washington government was full,
expected by President Zelaya and cabinet
in view of the information furnished
them by the Nicaraguan minister al
Washington, the people generally believed
tina the United States would interfere
The Nicaraguan government is exertine
itself to restrain the populace No indica
ton is given of immediate intent tt
pay the indemnity, although the continued
occupation Of Corinto must sooner or later
prove very embarrassing to Nicaragua.
Mr. Bayard' S request for brief respite
that Nicaragua might pay the indemnity
in London, it is stated here, was refuse
by Lord Kimberly. Had this respite been
granted, Nicaragua would have borrowed
the money in New York to settle the
British demand.

her parents for shelter, claiming that her
husband was ilI-treating her At 11.45,

while under half boiler power. For the
last nine hours the power was increased

STOLE FOR SIX YEARS
But Is Finally Caught. Coniesses and Dis
charged But Escapes Prosecution.

Quincy. Mass, April 2S.-Harry H.
Stafford, station agent of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad AT
Quincy, Mass, has been removed for steal
ing. Stafford was employ ed at the station
for six years, and his stealings extend over
that period, the amount not being known.
Stafford overcharged consignees for
freight. One firm had overpaid 5000.
Stafford acknowledged that he had been
stealing from different firms for six years
He says that he has only stolen s36 dur
ing the past year.
The reason he gives for the theft is that
when he first went to work for the road,
he lost 800 belonging to the company,
which was taken from his pay, and he
determined to make himself whole.
He will probably not be prosecuted He
was prominently identified with the New
England Station Agents Association. in
which he he'd an office. He is married
and has three SONS.

DIPnTHERIA

Too many homes bear this fear-inspir-
ing placard, denoting the prevalence of
that most insidious and dreaded of all
diseases Diphtheria.
1t is to-day recognized fact among the
best practitioners that nine out of ten
cases formerly considered hopeless may
be brought to q happy termination by
the use of that great original raw food
product,
Bovinine.
This great blood-generating, life-main-
tanning, strength-developing, and flesh
producing product of lean, raw meat,
contains the greatest amount of life
preserving qualities in the least pos
sible bulk of any preparation known.
In cases of Diphtheria, Bovinine has
special advantages. In this disease, as
in others, the rapidity with which it is
assimilated gives to it preference over
all other foods, passing, as it does, into
the system Immediately, without causing
the digestive organs to perform any labor.
And considering the fact that the LESSONS
in the throat prevent the swallowing Of
solid food, it becomes an absolute neces-
sity In the worst cases, where even
liquids cannot be taken by the mouth,
Bovinine
Saves Life
by being used as an injection. Above all,
Bovinine is in itself germicide, and in
all such diseases as Diphtheria, caused by
microbes, it not only performs its greatest
mission of maintaining life, but antidotes
the existing bacilli.
Bovnine has done wonders in thousands
of cases of Diphtheria. When your doctor
uses it you may cease to worry, and be
assured of a speedy recovery. To neglect
its use may mean years of remorse in the
feeling that some loved one might still be
with you if everything possible had been
done. Boyinine is sold by all Druggists

DEATH LIST REACHES 1870.
The Damage is Enormously More Than Was
at First Reported.

Paris April 2S.-Reports of the deyas
tation cause by the bursting of the reser
voir at Bouzy, yesterday, were received
from Epinal, early this evening. The loss
of life is far beyond the first estimates
About 1870 deaths are now known to have
been caused by the flood and the list may
grow, rs in the confusion and ruin it is
impossible to account for scores of persons
missing
The search for dead bodies is now in
progress. Thirty or more of the deaC
were buried, today. Villages and peasant
farms in the path of the flood are strewr
with the wrecks of buildings and covered
with heavy layers of mud. More than 200
families are homeless and destitute.
NJ. Leagues, minister of the interior,
has gone with staff of officials to the
OBLIGATED district to distribute money
among the needy. Most of the towns
near Epinal have sent food and clothing
to the destitute sufferers
A large part of the valley is little more
than a morass, with timbers and uprootcd
trees protrudiDg from the mud. Soldiers
are looking for bodies in the debris but
make only slow progress.
Much. damage was done villages at some
distance from the dam. AS the flood
swept down the valley, it gathered an i'm.
mense quantity Of timber and tree trunks
which were thrown against the buildings
in the lower neighborhoods. For the same
reason the number of deaths in the lower
village was disproportionately great and
the bodies were more manglcd than those
at points nearer the dam. Part of the
Bouzy tavern was found, today, ON the
bank of the Moselle, II miles distant.
The reservoir is now empty. For
several days it bad been above it's normal
level. The exact cause of the break is not
known. but some think the defect was in
the plan of the structure, which wa.
vertical. Others assert that the dam.
though originally strong. had been cracked
for years. The truth may not be deter
mined until an official inquiry.
Little Aviere brook, ordinarily but
seven feet wide, was converted into lake
a milo and a half broad. The soldiers and
workingmcn from the department of roads
are burying cattle and sheep as rapidly as
ossible, to prevent disease. Hundreds of
carcasses were put under ground, today

have occupied Corinto and the British

All the government officials, as well as
the Nicaraguan population of Cornto,

leaving it comparatively in possession of
the British troops.
The belief was entertained by the ad.

occur, but this hope as DR.. Guznan's dis
patches show, was not realized.
