Revolution Breaks Out In Nicaragua
American Consulate Protected.
Washington, Feb. Capt. Leutze, in
command of the Alert, has cubled the
navy department that he hns landed
marines at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua,
for the protection OF the American con-
sulate owing to the fact that revolu-
tion has broken out
Capt. Leutze's dispatches indicate
that the revolution in Nicaragua is as
Stunning a serious phase. In telegram
sent Monday, Capt. Leutze says that the
rcvolutionists have taken possession of
the city of San Juan del Sur, and that
the government troops IRE digging rifle
pits In the suburbs preparatory to max
ing an attempt TO dislodge them. Tues
day he telegrnphed that the govern
ment forces were attacking the city and
that he had landed force of marines
for the protection of the United States
consulate and American interests gem
orally. San Juan del Sur is near the
western terminus of the Nicaragua
canal and is a cable station. The
United States has three war ships near
the scene Of the disturbance and ample
measures will be taken to protect
American interests. The Alert Is at San
Juan del Sur, the gunboat Marietta is
at Libertad, Salvador, and the gunboat
Newport was at Greytown. on the east
coast, at last reports.
The opinion among the Central
Americans here is that the insurrection
has been mistake from the beginning
and that 1t is doomed to failure owing
to the preparations made by President
Zelaya to meet the storm. The outcome
of this uprising is awaited with much
interest because 1t is the first real test
that has been made of the ability of the
greater republic to carry out that part
of the tripartite agreement that pledges
united efforts to suppress rebellion In
any one state,

mand That 49, War Shall Cease

of Cuban Independence.

6Tenn.) presented the credentials Of
Thomas B. Turley to the senate Tues
day to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the late Senator Isham G. Har-
ris, of Tennessee.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska. offered
as an amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill, the Morgan
resolution for the recognition of the
'belligerency of Cuba. He said he hoped
At would be speedily acted upon by the
committee on foreign relations SO that
1t would not be defeated in the senate
by a point of order. Senator Hale said
1T would still be subject TO such point,
and Senator Allen gave notice that he
would appeal from any decision averse
to the amendment, and test the sense
of the senate on the subject.
In presenting the amendment Sena-
tor Allen said that since the opening Of
hostilities in Cuba more than 100000
paciAcos had died of starvation, or of
disease directly traceable to insufficient
food or lack of proper sanitary condi-
tions. He said that he had been in
formed that 1t was the custom of the
Spanish government to herd hundreds
of families together in inadequate quar-
tiers, starving them until they have
beer more than decimated by disease.

Against a Popular AIR.
The town council OF Mankato, Kan,
intends to stop, by ordinance, the sing

and the thousands who visited Topeka
went home singing, whistling or hum.

population have Joined in the chorus,
and in the towns 1t has become an In
tolerable nuisance.
Mankato's council will pass an ordi-
nance to stop it. In 1894 the city coun-
ell of Mankato effeotually squelched
the singing and whistling Of "Aftef the
Ball." It passed an ordinance under
the nuisance law "fning each and every
person 80 cents for each and every time
he or she might be proved guilty OF
whistling or singing "After the Ball"
between the hours Of six o'clock in the
morning and ten O'clock at night.
The "Hot Time" song, the Mankato
people say, has become an intolerable
nuisance and must be abandoned.

John Lynch, the next witness, testi-
fed that he was at West HaZleton when
the strikers arrived aud that they were
unarmed and orderly. The sheriff told
some of the strikers they had better

to be trouble if they did not dispense.

PUTS THEORY TO TEST.
Prescott, A. IT,, Only Single Tax Com
munity I'm the World.

Prescott, A. r., Only Single Tax Com.
munity In the World.
William o. O'Nein, major general Of
the Arizona military forces and mayor
of Prescott. A. T., the only single tax
community in the world, Is In New
York city.
Gen. O'Nleill was first impressed with
the George single tax theory through
his experience with the obstacles to
Arizona's development caused by tho
lodgment of vast tracts of land in the
hands of few men who would not Gull
tivate it, but waited for more enterpris-
ing men to improve surrounding lands.
For that reason Gen. O'Neill is a single
tax man and mayor Of Prescott, and
what he says goes.
Last January he informed Prescott
that 1t was going to be a single tax city
and now it is. The single tax law has
DOW been in operation for four months.
Gen. O'Neill says that 1t is working
satisfactorily. He added:
'The charter provides that taxes
must be levied upon property values.
We get around this provision by impos-
ing taxes based partly on q rent value
and partly upon market value. To let
none escape, the least tax that can be
imposed upon a lot Is two dollars. Our
personal property taxes were levied
largely through taxes upon all sorts OF
business and industries. These are now
done away with almost entirely, the
exceptions being gambling and liquor
selling.
business men, manufacturers and
their employees are all pleased. One tax
is now paid instead of four, and II q
workingman does not soon have a home
1t will be the fault OF his lack OF In
dustry and thrift"

The State Ffnances.


Chairman Merriam, of the house COM
mlttee on appropriations, asked the au-
ditor OF state how much money would
be available for the next two years for
extraordinary appropriations. Auditor
Mccarthy replied that for the biennial
period ending June 30, 1890, the esti-
mated resources would be $4,047692
while the estimated expenses, that is.
for appropriations already made and
for the expenses of the state govern
ment, are $4,550,2S6, which would leave
a deficit June 80, 1890, of 1892 13, pro-
viding that not q dollar is appropri-
ated by the Twenty-seventh general as
sembiy. This estimate is based upon
2.7 mills levy for the years 1897 and
1898. This it is estimated will reai1ze
up to January I, 1895. $640,00O, and DUR
ing the year 1898 from the collection of
state taxes levied in 1897 81 100000. All
this is on he basis of 81 mills lew.
The probable amount to be realized
from January /, 1899. to July /, 1890,
from the collection of state taxes levied
in 1898, based upon 2-mill levy, would
be 100000. This item. then, is the
only place where the legislature can in
crease its levy. If the levy for 1899 and
1000, which is to be fixed by this legis-
laturc, is made three mills it will, ac-
cording to this estimate, yield about
100000 additional revenue, which
would still leave a deficit of $192 900,
without any extraordinary approprja-
tons; so that it is altogether impossi-
BILE for the state debt to be paid within
the next two years. The probable re-
ceipts from counties, for insane dues
etc., and from fees and corporation
taxes and other miscellaneous sources
during the period, are estimated at ST.
361,000, which, with the $4,000 on hand
January 30, 1897. makes up the total Of
s4,047,692, total estimated resources.
Iowa mt Omaha.
The legislature made visitto Omaha
January 80, to inspect the progress of
the Trans-Miseissippi exposition, for
which an appropriation is asked to
make an Iowa exhibit. About 100 mem
bcrs went, and they were much sur.
prised and gratified by the extent OF
what they saw in preparation. The
buildings are similar to those at the
worlds fair in Chicago, and while not as
large they extend around lagoon half
mile long, besides several other large
buildings, and Midway Plaisance that
promises to be MS attractive as the one
at Chicago. The buildings represent an
investment Of nearly 100000, and the
architecture is of the same beauty and
harmony as that of the White city.
There IL little doubt but that an apprc-
priation Of about $4,000 will be made
