Signs of n Revolution in Province
of Bolivar.
Colon, Jan. 19.-It is reported here that
the Mosquito Indians, including Chief Au-
drew Hendy, will invite Chief Clarence to
return to the Mosquito territory.
Chief Clarence was deposed by the
Nicarauguans in 1894, and subsequently
went TO Jamaica, where, it Is said, he was
in receipt Of pension from the British
government. Great Britain refused to
recognize the new Nicaraguan government
that was set up at Bluefields after the
deposition of Chief Clarence, and out of
thus grew the troubles that resulted In
Great Britain sending squadron to
Corinto to enforce the payment of the
Indemnity demanded by Great Britain for
the expulsion oil the British vice consul at
Bluefields.

NO THREAT Is INTENDED.

II Menace TO This Country.

II Menace 10 This Country.
New York, Jan. ia Washington spe-
cal to the Journal says: Secretary olney
by special direction of the President made
a direct demand upon Lord Salisbury for
an explanation as 10 the report that Eng
land designed to send a fleet of picked
war vessels into American waters. The
dispatch of Secretary 0lDey was sent to
Ambassador Bayard. but it was couched
I'D the most vigorous language or which Mr..
olney is capable. The dispatch called
for an immediate reply, and it produced
the desired result.
Late last night, or, TO be more exact
early this morning, the cable brought the
Information to Mir. Olney that the govern
ment of England had not the remotest
idea of sending i fleet to any point that
might be construed as a threat against the
United States.
The administration has received posi-
tive assurance that England is entirely
willing to settle the Venezuelan question
upon = basis satisfactory to this country
provided it shall not put England in the
atlituSe OF hacking down"
Your correspondent has learned from the
best authority connected with the State
department that the solving of the Venez.
uelan question per Sc is matter of small
Importance in the estimation of the English
government.
The information conveyed to the State
Department is to the effect that England
is willing to make all reasona BILE conces.
sions in order to terminate all ill-fecling
between the people of this country and
England growing out of the Venezuelan
question. But the question of greater
Importance with the English government
is the Interpretation which its concessions
TO the United States might invite from her
European rivals. For instance, Germany
might conclude that if England would. for
the sake OF peace, abandon her attitude
on the Venezuelan dispute, she might, un-
derpressure, ,abdcateher aim o suzerainty
over the Transvaal republic.
Lord Salisbury does not want to have
his Willingness to remain on friendly terms
with theunitedStates construed tomean that
he would make any concessions to Germany
or any other European power.

court yesterday afternoon, Miss Lillian
Chandler, the violinist,- and Miss Luella

The trial has been a most strange one
because OF the mysterious side of the

two women, and the publicity given the
charge that Miss orr held her younger
companion under such powerful influence
as to estrangc her from her family. The

to show that this was only one OF the series
OF such cases on the part of Miss Orr, but
