de correos, de telegrafos y hasta de edih-
clos ptibIicos, no podfa menos de lamen-
tarse, pues 81 bien es cieTto que NADIA de-
be el Tesoro de la isla, NADIA tampoco tiene
de todo 10 que necesita y pide al Estado
un pueblo moderno, y la consecuencia de
este es que al paso que el Tesoro Sc aba

dustria no mace sino q la sombra del mo-
nopolio Ell comercio agoniza como sucede
en- este momento, porqu9 Sc ahoga en- pro-
ducci0n y no tiene buques en- que embar-
car los frutos. 49,
Conste, puas, que en- nuestra opinion
es muy loable no empenar Ell TesorO en-
gastOs locos, pero es Indispensable usar
del credito para construir adquirir 10
que nos falta, espe cialmente en- ell ramo
de comunicaciones terrestres y mar1tinas,
Y 10 que necesitamos es mejor pedirlo a la
Banca Universal dir.actamente, que andar
en- compaf11a de sociedades que aun supO-
niendolas de excelente moralidad lnten-
ci6n, han de tener en- tOdas parties mucho
menos credito que nuestro Tesoro.
Esta la raz6n poderosa que tenemos
para desear que cuantOs antes Sc declare
caducada no solo la concession de las l1neas
B @, sino tambien la de Ia costa del Oes-
to, toda vez que la Compa61a confessional
ria no ha cumplido nj pOdra cumplir sus
compromises, pero no para abandonar la
construction, sinO por ell contrarlo, para
que la aborde Ell Estado con sus recursOs
propios, hacienda uso de su cr6dito ST es
I.necesario, en- la intelgencia de que, este
es el tlnico medic de que tengamos ferrO-

SHOT SANGER DEAD.
TRAGEDY INVOLVING PROMI-
NENT MILWAUKEE, MEN.
A BROTHERS. VENGEANCE
His Sister-ResuIt of Do ~,
nestle BroiIs.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 27.-Emil
Sanger, a brother of Walter Sanger,
was shot and killed by Robert LUIS
comb, eX-city attorney, at a. late hour
tonight, and Luscomb is in Jail. Sanger
and Luscomb are brothers-in-law and
there has been bad blood in the family
for a number of years. Sanger's wire
is a sister of Luscomb. Tonight she
sought shelter in Luscomb's house,
claiming that her husband was ill
treating her. Sanger went to Lus-
combs house sought admission, and
LHscomb thereupon shot him through
a plate glass door with double
barreled shotgun. The charge entered
his head, killing him instantly.
MES. Sanger's body is black and blue
from the beatings that her husband
has given her, and she has been under
a Doctors care for several days.
Emil Sanger is the president of the
c. NJ. Sanger Sons company, manu-
facturers of sash, doors and blinds,
and is the well known bicyclist's elder
brother. ..'
Luscomb is the son Of one of Mil
waukee's Oldest and best known fami-
lies, and is a leading lawyer with a
large practice. 1t is stated late to-
night that Mr.. Luscomb has repre-
scented interests in the courts adverse
to his brother-in-law, and that there
has been no very good feeling between
the men either in a social or business
way for long time. Mrs. Sanger is
the divorced wife of Frank Jermain
ex-treasurer of the Wisconsin Tele-
phone company, and married the muir
dered man three wears ago
Mr.. Luscomb says that Sanger came
to his house at 11:45 tonight and be-
gan kicking at his door. AS he Sang
err had warned his wife that he would
kill her if she went to Luscomb's. he
was afraid for his own and his sister s
safety, and he fired the fatal shot
Mr.. Luscomb says that Mrs. Sanger
has suffered the hardest kind of treat
ment from her husband and is now
under the care of DR.. J. H. Johnson.
Mr.. Luscomb said further: "For sew
eral months Sanger has been making
threats against me. He said to S. S
Barney, of West Bend, that he would
XIII me on sight. / kept out of his way
and went away Jan. 10, and was gone
for two months. After | came back
he continued his threats
Il had two men stopping at nv
house Monday, and in the afternoon,
about 8 o'clock, Sanger came there
and said to one of the men: is this
where that Luscomb Hves?'
The man replied: Yes; Mr. Lus-
comb lives here, but is not at home >
will go and see for myself He went
up to the door and rang the bell, but
there was no one home and he went
away"

HASTINGS, April 27.-At the for
mai opening of the high wagon bridge
for travel over the Mississippi at this
point today, the declaration being
made by. his eXcellency Gov. D. NJ
! Clough, the weather was perfect and
the attendance large, from 5000. to
5000 people being present, who shared
in Hastings hospitality by partaking
of an elegant free dinner in court
house square. The city was gaily at
tired. Thousands of yards of bunting,
with the national colors floating to
the breeze, decked the residences and
business houses of her public-spiriteG
citizens. At the speakers stand, cor
ner Third and Sibley streets, Kleist's
Second regiment band discourseG
choice muSic,a and addresses were made
in connection with that of the gov
ernor by Hon. Albert Schaller, of this
city; Rev. Robert Forbes, of Duluth.
chaplain of the senate; Hon. c. F.
Staples, Of Mendoza, and L. H. John
son, of Minneapolis, general North
western agent of the Wisconsin Iron
& Bridge company, builders of the
Hastings high bridge, which is one OF
the finest structures spanning the
river between st. Paul and st. Louis.
The governor and the other distin-
guished visitors, accompanied by
Kleist's Second regiment band, were
met at the depot upon the arrival
of the S:42 train by the city council
and Company e, N. G. S. NJ, and
escorted to the Gardner, where an in
exercises proper took place. The
state training school band from Red
Wing was present, and made a cred
liable showing. At 81 p. m. Col
Joseph Bobleter, of the Second regi-
ment, arrived, being met by Company
E, and an extended order drill was
given across the river. At 1888 Com
pany d, the crack organization of the
state, arrived from st. Paul, giving
creditable exhibition drill on Sec
ond street. The opening Of the new
bridge greatly facilitates intercourse
with-the counties of Washington and
Pierce, and will have an immediate
tendency to largely increase the trade
from that direction. The bridge is
built throughout in a very substantial
manner, the iron and mason work be-
ing first-class in every particular,
and is the only one of it's kind in
America, and probably in the world,
peculiar feature being the spiral APP
proach at the south end. The large
span is $50 feet in length and is cal
culated to carry 2561A tons besides
its own weight, and the smaller span
more in proportion. The beautiful new
structure will stand as lasting mon
ument to our citizens, and the thanks
of the community are due to Mayor
John Heinen, Irving Todd Jr., city
clerk, and members of the city
council, Aldermen, Owen Austin,
N. Bailey, Michael Graus, Nicholas
B. Gergen, w. r. Mather, J. P. Som
mers, Caspar Schilling, E. E. Tut
tie and c. w. Westerson, upon the
suspicious outcome of their labors.

: NICARAGUA,s CHECKMATE.
1t Only Complexities and Does Not
Z Settle the Trouble

Ii Only Complexities and Does Not
& Settle the Trouble.
Z WASHINGTON. April N.-The an
nouncement from Colon of the
closure of Corinto by the Nicaraguan
government is exactly what was ex-
pected by the South American diplo-
matte representative here, although
1t has probably taken the administra-
ton by surprise. AS Interpreted here,
it means that the Nicaraguan govern
naent, with an intention to circumvett
the British, have withdrawn from CO.
rinto the privileges of a port of entry
1t is expected that the entire business
Of the port will thus be transferred to
San Juan del. Sur, a-aport lying 100
miles south of Corinto. =.es.ss..--
1t is unbeatable that this action by
the Nicaraguans threatens very seri-
ously to complicate the already deli
cate question. If the British can in
duce ships to discharge at Corinto, and
pay to them the legal duties, the
Nicaraguans will probably refuse to
permit these goods to enter the in
terror, where the bulk of the consum-
ing population lives. If the British
stIS mus prevented from correcting
from customs a sufficient sum of
money to meet the indemnity demand
ed within the calculated period of
time, in this case about thirty days,
the result may be hard to foretell. If
they felt it necessary to continue the
occupation of Corinto for an indefin-
lite period, they would be guilty of a
violation Of the assurances that they
have given our government The only
resort would appear to be an extern
sion of the occupation to San Juan del
Sur, or to any other Pacific ports that
may be opened in place of Corinto,
and this would probably be obnoxious
TO us, as Interfering with our trade at
least, If for no other reason. 1t is
feared that the affair is rapidly assum-
Ing. more serious phases, and is shap-
ing itself SO that our government may
be .embroiled against it's own desires
DIR: Guzman communicated officially
to Secretary Gresham this afternoon
the news he had received by cable
from Managua of the landing of the
British at Corinto, and the abandon
ment of the town~by the Nicaraguans

NEW YORK, April 2S.-The AS
ISOLATED Press yesterday ca:bled Pres
ident Zelaya, Of Nicaragua, asking
him for an expression of opinion as
to the situation in that country.
Shortly after midnight the following
reply was received:

Associated Press, New York: Mica
ragua protests before all nations
against the outrage which Great
Britain infiicts upon her by the mill
tary occupation of the port of CORN
to, in order to seize from her by
force a sum Of money which is not
owed, in absolute disregard of inter
national laws, and of the dictates of
right, justice and equity Nicaragua,
although counting upon the sympa-
thy of all, as she is powerless to op-
pose the aggressor, is ready to SUBJ
NIT the case without fear, beWailing
her smallness and her weakness.

SWEPT ALL In ITS PATH.
Flood Completely Destroys
Ronzey--Other Villages
Damaged.
SCORES OF PEOPLE DROWN
And Hundreds of Others Rem
dered Homeless by the
Disaster.

EPINAL, France, April 27.-The
great Bousey dyke of the Epinal dis
trict of the Vosges burst at 5 o'clock
this morning. The cubic area of the
dyke is 100000 meters. A great
rush of water and much loss of life
followed. In a single commune, that
of Uxegeny, seven kilometers from
the scene of the disaster proper,
twenty-three persons were drowned.
At NomeXy eight bodies have been
found. Wherever the water flowed it
destroyed everything in its path. The
village of BauZey, with its extensive
pisciculture establishment, has dis
appeared. The steep, vertical banks
of the Canal de FEST burst and
emptied a reach of water eleven kilo-
meters long into the Aviere valley,
which the flood followed to Nomexy,
where it flowed into the River Mos
ellie. At Darnieulles all the houses
were destroyed and few were spared
at EuXiorges. Hundreds of families
have been rendered homeless, and
many asleep at the time lost
even their clothes. The bursted res
ervoir which supplies the canal is
situated at Bbuzey, and was formed
by a dyke 500 meters long. 1t was
built during the years from 1879 to
1884 and was strengthened in 1888 and
1889. 1t consists of wall of masonry
twenty meters high and twenty
meters thick at its base. The founda-
ton was nine meters deep. The bed
of the reservoir is of natural rock.
The dyke was regularly inspected, and
no signs Of weakness have been de-
tected since 1890.
The damage done by the flood was
immense, and it is believed will
amount to $10,000,O00.

TOLD OF wILDE,S GUILT.
Witnesses Tighten the Net Around
tie Prisoner

LONDON, April 27.-The trial of Os-
car Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged
with serious misdemeanors, was re-
sumed at the Old Bailey court today,
with a large attendance. Alfred Wood
was cross-eXamined by Sir Edward
Clarke, Q. c., counsel for Wilde, but
his evidence was not shaken.
Frederick Atkins, described as a va
riety singer, gave evidence as to know
ing Alfred Taylor and others men,
toned during the trial. This witness
was also questioned by counsel with
the view of showing that he received
$500 from a foreign count whose yacht
was lying at Scarborough, but the
witness denied having received the
money. After Atkins had repeated his
previous testimony concerning his in
timacy with Wilde, and told how he
accompanied him to Paris as his sec
rotary, Sir Edward Clarke severely
cross-eXamined him, endeaVoring to
show that Atkins was a professional
blackmailer, and that he had black
mailed gentlemen at Nice, Paris and
various other places. During the cross
examination, Sir Edward Clarke
asked:
Did you, two years ago, extort a
large sum of money from two Ameri-
cans who were staying at the Hotel
Victorian
Atkins, in replying, said he had not
blackmailed the two Americans The
names of the Americans alleged to
have been blackmailed did not tram
spire.
When Edward Shelby, the former en-
ploye of the publishers, Matthews &
Lane, was testifying, and was asked
to tell the jury what had occurred in
Oscar Wilde's rooms, the witness pa
thetically appealed to counsel to read
it from his previous deposition, and
thus spare him the shame of repeating
it. Counsel, however, made the wit
ness repeat his story The day was
occupied by the examination of the
same witnesses who have already been
called to the stand, and the testimony
was of the same character as already
outlined. The trial was finally post
poned until Monday.

secure the release of the goods from
this imposition. We acted very
promptly, and obliged the Mexicans to
release the goods, and to acknowledge
the, principle that duties cannot be
twice levied. This case differs in
many important features from that
presented by the closure of Corinto,
and it Is difficult to ascertain the APP
plication of international law in this
last case, though the general broad
principle would seem to be similar.
