REIGN OF TERROR.
Dictator Torres Carrying Things with
a High Hand mt B~luefelds.

NEW YORK. April pa special to the
Press from New Orleans says: "Advices
received here from Bluefields, Nicarauga.
by the steamship Jarl state that pande-
monium reigned in that city on the night Of
April IS. Drunken native soldiers paraded
the streets, firing at inoffensive citizens and
into houses. Several persons were wounded.
General Torres served notice on the Amer
lean merchants that unless they paid the
duties demanded by night he would close up
their places of business and confiscate their
receipts. The merchants held a meeting
and decided TO close their stores. The doors
were locked and sealed and the American
flag hoiSted over each. The consequence
was that when the Jarl left there was not
an American doing business in Bluefields.
The foreign element is anxiously awaiting
the arrival of the United States cruiser De-
troit, with Minister Merry aboard. She was
at Greytown when the Jarl left and was
expected to arrive at Bluefields on Friday.
United States Consul Sorsby, United States
Consular Agent Clancy and British Consul
j. A. Ballanger went to Greytown to meet
Minister Merry and were to come back TO
Bluefieids on the Detroit. 1t was owing to
their absence that General Torres was en-
boldened to threaten the American mer-

White Sailors Think There Are Too
Many Negroes on the New Orleans.

NEW YORK. April S.-The United States
cruiser New Orleans is scheduled to leave
the Brooklyn navy yard on May z. She is
to go TO New Orleans for the purpose OF
permitting the city she is named for to see
her. and the men and crew have anticipated
a pleasant voyage. However, there is much
discomfort among the white men of the
crew in reference to the large number of
colored recruits that have been assigned to
the vessel. OF the 112 men who already have
been taken on thirty are colored. The white
sailors say that in view of the race feeling
in the South, they believe the reception TO
the crew WI be less hearty on account OF
the Unusually large percentage of colored
men on the vessel. The cruiser will remain
at New Orleans for a month and then re-
turn to the Brooklyn yard.

SENATOR FRYE'S VIEWS.
His Opinion of the Coghlan Incident,
Il. Ii. Reed and Other Matters.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The World says:
Senator Frye was asked, last night, what
he thought would be the result OF the
Coghlan incident. He said: 1T may result
unpleasantly to Captain Coghlan. but I
have no idea that a war with Germany will
be the outcome. There will be no war. If
Germany should wage war on the United
States she would lose her best customer
and would have a revolution on her hands
at home within six months.
81 believe that Speaker Reed intends to
resign. / have been satisfied on that score
for some time. In my opinion Mr.. Reeds
retirement is actuated solely by a desire 10
improve his financial condition, and he
thinks there is q better chance to do so in
New York than in Maine. Still. l won't say
that Mr. Reed has not also a political an
Choir to windward and realizes that New
York offers many opportunities for political
preferment.
1.-The situation in the Philippines Is not
nearly so good as ! should like to see it.
When we were in Paris no one connected
with the commission believed that more
than 5000 or 10, 900 soldiers would be needed
there at any time. 1 believe the Fflipinos
will soon learn that American governors
are not like their Spanish predecessors. The
idea is a false one. 1 am hopeful that the
troubles in the islands soon will come to
an end.
About the coming presidential campaign?
I have not given It much attention In my
opinion Bryan will be nominated by the
Democrats. Free silver will certainly be an
issue II Bryan has his way. but it Is my
belief that the issues Of the war will be
the features in the next presidential cam-
paign.

SPIKED SHOES.
Maine Legislature Has Prohibited
Their Use I'm Public Places.

Bangor Letter in New York Sun.
The Maine Legislature has passed a bill
forbidding the wearing of spiked shoes or
boots In public places and imposing a heavy
fine for violation of the law. This is hailed
with joy by the railroad companies and the
proprietors of hotels, barrooms and other
places frequented by river drivers. for they
all suffered greatly from the spiked shoe.
When the river drivers leave the &ogs
at the up-river booms and board the trains
for Bangor they don't stop TO change their
clothes, but come to town with red shirts
nailed shoes. and all. They prod the car
floors full of little holes and tear rents IN
the cushions OF the seats, occasionally also
jabbing a few OF the spikes into the fnsteps
or unarmored passengers. When they leave
the cars they proceed directly 10 the saloons
and there they work more havoc. Last
spring n lot OF drivers got into a barroom
where a new maple floor had Just been LAID.
and after they had crunched around the
place long enough TO spend 81 for whisky
the floor looked as though II had been mem
pered with bird shot. and the saloon keene-
reckoned his loss at $40. He had made about
60 cents profit on the drinks. and so he
charged up $3.50 10 the spiked shoes.
All over Bangor may be seen floors
punched full OF little holes by the shoe
calks n river drivers, and there IS scarce
ly a policeman in the cicy who has not been
prodded with the spikes of drunken drivers.
The spikes are a great help 10 a man who
has 10 skim around on slippery logs for
them IN town every enc but the dri, e-s sri,
fers. So the Legislature. after allowing the
nuisance to go on unin.er:upte FIR these
many years. has at last drawn thu line
against the spikes-and the line Is at Pc

NEST OF SMALLPOX,
Thirty Cases Found in Kansas City,
Kan, Among a Colony of Negroes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. April "a negro,
broken out with smallpox sores and delir-
ious from the disease, ran through the
streets of Kansas City, Kan. this evening.
His capture by the police revealed the fact
that the disease is epidemic among the ne
groes OF that city. So far nearly thirty
cases of smallpox have been found, twenty
of the cases found in one thickly settled
block. 1t appears that the health authori-
ties first made a wrong diagnosis OF the
disease, and later. when they discovered its
nature, attempted to conceal the facts. To-
night a strict quarantine was established in
the infected districts and ii is b hoped that the
warm weather Will aid in stamping out the
disease.
