A Change In the Money Standard of Costa
Rica Is Followed by Rio ing-A Dictator
ship Proclaimed.
New York, Oct. 6.-The first details
of the internal disorders which have
resulted in President Iglesias. of Costa
Rica, declaring himself dictator were
received Tuesday from Harrison r,
Williams, until recently United States
consul at San Jose, Costa Rica, and
wuo arrived here yesterday on the
steamer Alene from Port Limon. The
agitation against PresidentIgle cul-
minated at San Domingo on Sunday,
September 10, in n riot in which five
men, one of them rich and the others
more or less well known, were killed,
and more than so others wounded.
The riot was between partisans of
President Iglesias and his opponents.
President Iglesias some time ago
was announced as candidate to sue
ceed himself. The election is to be
held next month and he is at the head
of what is known as the civilist party.
There arose bitter opposition to him.
Its strength has been chiefly in the
cities, where the business men are
deeply opposed to him and denoGnce
him because he changed Costa Rica s
monetary standard to that of gold ex-
clusively. They say the change is inn
practicable and will work great harm
to the country. They also speak Bit
terly of his Pacific railroad scheme,
which will cost S2,soO,OOO. Iglesias is
building railroad across Costa Rica
from shore to shore. The men of the
cities say the cost of this road is ex-
cessive.
On the other hand Mr.. Williams says
lglesias is popular with the country
element. He has built bridges and
railroads and has projected other in
ternal improvements that have en-
deared him to the agricultural popula-
tion. He believes in spending more
money in school houses than on sol
diers and has not only carried out that
policy, but has given Costa Rica just

London, Oct. 4.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
Mrs. Miles and Aide-deCamp Capt,
Maus sailed for the United States on
the American line steamer st. Louis
Saturday. The commander of the army
has been in Europe since May on his
tour of military observation and has
inspected everything of military inter-
est from the armies of the great powers
in field action down to "balloon and
bicycles" as he remarked. He has
looked over Notifications. barracks,
camps, ordnance works of all classes, and
in the intervals of this work has writ
ten three reports TO the government,
covering different features of European
militarism. After his return he will
with the assistance of Capt. Maus, pre-
pare another and more comprehensive
report in which will be embodied
recommendation for the improvement
of the United States army.
To the question as to whether the
United States, under it's present mill
tary policy, would be able to cope with
a European power, Gen. Miles replied:
I'm any population 1t is estimated one
man out of five is capable of bearing
arms. That would give us an army of 12,-
100000. Our people are strong physically
and generally intelligent and well informed.

next moment an emaciated face with a
death-like pallor on it appeared over
the edge. 1t was the unmistakable
face of badly wounded confederate
soldier, who was dragging himself to
the water. The sunken eyes fell on
Peters, and the owner of them must
have comprehended instantly Peters
peril, for he dragged his body for

bush that Peters longed for, bent it
down toward the helpless foe and

diets DIR. Airport at LuetScrt Trial.
Chicago, Oct. 4.-The expert anato-
mists for the defense in the Luetgert
case contradicted one another Saturday
in manner that made the state serene
ly happy. Drs. l.. A. Merrillat and JOS
eph Hughes, professors in two veterin-
arg colleges of Chicago, were on the
stand until 12 O'Clock. Both positively
identified the bone which the state
claims is human femur as the lower
part of the shaft of hogs femur. DR..
W. H. Airport, the expert for the de-
fense, who left the stand Friday after
two days examination, declared it was
the upper end of hogs femur. DR..
Merrillat said Saturday he knew it was
the lower part, because the foramen
ran upward. DR.. Airport said he knew
it was the upper part because the fora
mems direction was downward. The
counsel for the defense realized the ef-
feet of such a contradiction, and en-
deavored to swing DR.. Merrillat around
to Allport's opinion, but Merrillat re-
fus ed to be swerved. DIR. Joseph
Hughes coincided with the opinion of
DIR. Merrillat.

on Gen. Nichols.

on Gen. Nichols.
Gen. Nichols, of Louisiana, com.
manded a brigade of infantry during
the valley compaign in Virginia,
which so immortalized the name OF
Stonewall Jackson. In one of the three
famous victories over Banks, Milroy
and Shields, the Louisiana brigade bore
a conspicuous part, and it's gallant
commander was carried from the field,
mortally wounded, as every one sup
posed. By good nursing and skillful
surgery the life of the general was
saved, and his state is proud of him to-
day. He left an arm and leg on the
battle field, and lost one of his eyes
He wears an artificial leg on one side
of his body and an arm on the opposite
The pluck which enabled him to with,
stand these terrible wounds, and to
which he is indebted for his life, per-
haps, more than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet; and he is one of the
most jovial of men, enjoying a good
joke as much as anybody. He tells this
on himself:
When canvassing for governor, he
was invited by a. lady who knew of his
loss of limbs to make her house his
home, and he accepted. She ordered
her manservant, who knew nothing of
the generals misfortune, to see that
he was comfortably put to bed. The
darlSy felt proud of the honor of serv-
ing a distinguished, general and the
next governor, and the general was in
clined to be communicative, which de-
lighted the negro very much, and made
him feel at home with his guest. When
he took the generals arm off and laid
it on the table, he commenced to eX-
press great sympathy, saying: 1T
sho' is bad for u man to lose his arm
dat erway! An de Yankees done dis,
did dey?" When the general told him
to take his leg off, the negro thought
he was joking, but went at it in a bust
ness-lilSe way, though he was almost
ready to shed tears of sympathy this
time. Placing the leg on the table by
the side of the arm, and looking at
the general, said: "UmpA! leg off on
one side, an arm off on other. Dat
is too bad, to cut n man up IN dat sort
OF way!" The general saw his oppo,
tnnity for a little fun had come. s.
leaning his body forward, said; "Cor
