TO PROTECT OUR INTERESTS.
Secretary Herbert Orders Naval Vessels
to Nicaragua.

Secretary Herbert Orders Naval Vessels
to Nicaragua.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-Some sudden
and unexpected orders issued to United
States naval vessels yesterday afternoon
caused a sensation for time, until the
purpose of tho orders was explained. The
Alert, which has been stationed for
month or more at Panama, watching the
progress of the revolutionary movements
in Colombia, was ordered to proceed at
once to San Juan Del Sur, the nearest
cable port to CorintO, Nicaragua. The At
lanta has orders to sail at once to Grey
town, the eastern terminus of the proposed
Nicaragua canal The Montgomery, now
at Mobile, will follow the Atlanta on
May II, with The Nicaragua canal com
mission aboard The Monterey having
sailed on Sunday from Acapulco direct for
Panama, is not expected to touch in at
Corinto, and as she is now beyond the
reach of orders by wire she will probably
be allowed to relieve the Alert, on guard
at Panama, whence she can be ordered
back to Nicaragua if occasion arises in the
future
Secretary Herbert ex planned briefly the
meaning of these orders. He said that the
movements of the ships had absolutely
nothing to do with the present occupation
of Corinto by tho British, that being a
matter to be settled between the Nicara-
guans and British. The real purpose of
the orders was to guard American inter
ests in Nicaragua against the consequences
of q possible revolution, which may result
from the disturbed condition Of the coun-
try.
Being asked what measure of protection
the Nicaraguan commission would receive
in the pursuance of its work of inspecting
the line of the canal, the secretary said the
Montgomery would remain at Greytowr
while the commission was in the interior
and with two ships on one side and one OF
the other there would surely be enough
force to protect the commission and al
interests that otherwise might be endan
gered by possible revolution.
The action taken by Secretary Herbert
! may be attributed to the visit to Washing
ton of ex-senator Warner Miller, Of the
Nicaragua Canal company, and of som,
reports made by him on the basis of pri
vate reports as to the real condition of af
fairs in Nicaragua, and to those coming tt
| the Nicaraguan minister directly.

Consul wmlams' Probable Successor.

WARRINGTON, April 30.-It is probable
that John d. Risley, of New York, will be
appointed United States consul general at
Havana, to succeed Mr.. Williams, who has
been granted leave of absence for sixty
days, but is not expected to return to Ha-
vnna. Mr.. Risley is at present minister OF
the United States at Copenhagen, and
while his. appointment to succeed Consul
General Williams would in the ordinary
course be different from promotion, it is
said that it really amounts TO that. Mr.
Risley's present compensation is $1,000 pei
annum, and the Havana consulate is worth
much more in busy times

On Trial for His Life.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, April 3d. James
Hendricks was placed on trial here yester-

Reich, an old commission merchant.
Reich was entioed from his house by four
men and assaulted and robbed in lonely
byway He died from his injuries the
next day. The county commissioners
spent $4,000 in running the alleged mur.
derers down. Hendricks had three ac-
completes, but it was agreed to try the
prisoners separately. Hendricks is sup
posed to be the leader of the gang, and
was therefore put on trial first.

WILD RUMoRs p1soREpITEp.
A Contemplated British Onslaught on Hon.
duras Declared Absurd.

WASHINGTON, April 30. - There were
many wild rumors flying about the city
yesterday touching the state of affairs at
Corinto, some to the effect that the diff
Guilty had been patched up, and that the
British had withdrawn on the basis of a
submission of the British claim to arbi-
tration, and others to show that the Brit
ish had extended their original program
so as now to include the dispatch of a feet
of warships to collect a debt owing by
Honduras 1t appeared that none of these
rumors had any real basis, or at least they
failed to attract the interest of the state
department, which evidently looks upon
the possibility of a revolution in Nicara-
qua as the phase Of the case possessing
great Importance just now, and which it
regards as the one absolutely essential to
provide against SO far as it threatens
American interests, among which, Of
course, are included those Of the Nicara-
qua canal.
The story of contemplated onslaught
on Honduras is regarded as absurd as
there is no justification for such action. II
the British have any claims against that
country they certainly do not grow out OF
the insult offered to British official, on
which Great Britain has made the issue in
the Nicaraguan case, and If there be any
claims for i'll treatment Of individuals they
would first be pressed by ordinary diplo
matte courses before they are made th'

SECRETARY HERBBRT's ACTION,

He Orders Naval Vessels to Nicaragua, but
Only to Protect American Interests-An
Absurd Report That Great Britain Con-
templated an Onslaught on Honduras.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 30.-A prop
osition of compromise and immediate
evacuation of Corinto by the British is
under consideration between Washing
ton London and the authorities here. The
proposition embraces the following essen
tial points:
First, Nicaragua is topay S77, 800 at Lon
don within two weeks. Second, the Brit
ish forces are to be Immediately with
drawn from Corinto, without waiting for
the two weeks to elapse. Third a mixed
commission of arbitration is to pass on
the demands of Great Britain in excess of
the S77 500 claim, such commission to be
constituted in a manner satisfactory to
the United States and Nicaragua.
The foregoing terms, it is believed, will
be accepted by President Zelaye and his
cabinet. 1t is understood that the sugges-
tion of this settlement came from the Mic
araguan representative at Washington,
and it is believed that such an adjustment
would be agreeable to the United States
authorities. If Nicaragua's acceptance is
given the proposition will be urged on the
London foreign office, and it is believed
they will be accepted.

Resident Workers Should be Pregerrad

Boston, April jO.-TEe house refused to
reconsider the vote of last Friday whereby
the anti-cigarette bill was engrOssed. The
commission established inlS94 by the legis-
lature to investigate the subject of the un-
employed has made its report. The com
missiouers find that, as rule, the city
does not do construction work directly as
cheaply as through a contractor, but the
work is generally better. The board re.
ports its conclusion that under present
conditions of employment 1t is desirable
that contracts be so framed that resident
workers shall be given employment, even
If the cost of work is slightly increased
thereby. This recommendation is, how
ever, of an emergency character only.
