vices from the Mosquito coast say the In
dians there have rebelled against the gov
ernment of Nicaragua. They are taking the
warpath and are sending delegation to
invite Prince Clarence to head the rising

financial support from the foreign residents
of the Mosquito coast.

faith with the British government, prefer
ring his easy retirement here to active life
as king of the Mosquito coast.

ago as hereditary chief of the Mosquito
coast territory he came into power over

time had begun to encroach on the Mos
quito territory and Chief Clarence resisted
successfully. But the state of affairs which
followed compelled the United States con-
sui at Bluefelds TO demand protection for
the Americans and Chief Clarence after re-
peated threats was compelled to seek
refuge on board the United States cruiser
Marblehead. In August, 1894. he landed at
Kingston, Jamaica, and has since been a
pensioner of the British government. which

BREWERS OBJECT TO BEER TAX
Doiiar-a-BarreI Rate Said TO Demor-

for Prohibition.

DETROIT, Mich, June THE dofar-a-
barrel war rate on beer was the subject of
an adverse decision in the first days ses-
sion of the thirty ninth annual convention
OF the United States Brewers association.
1t appeared from the report OF the Board OF
Trustees that the trade has been somewhat
demoralized by the fact that some brewers
add the entire tax to the price OF their beer,
while others add only fraction of the tax
The report OF the publication committee
asserted that the army canteen had accom-
plished more for the morals and discipline
OF the army than all other agencies combined
and it was added that Bishop Potter ex-
pressed an almost universal conviction when
he characterized prohibitionists as band of
ignorant, hypoerltical, irresponsible and
mendacious men. The annual report OF the
vigilance committee said:
Prohibition continues to decline very
rapidly; the number OF It's advocates grows
smaller every year; the arguments in its
