Nicarngunn Papers Declared the

NHhteu IL.
Managua, Nicaragua, July 26.-1he
semi-offcial newspaper in Nicaragua,
contain columns daily, written by the peo-
pie against the government and people of
the United States, declaring that the

that the United States authorities had in
tention to blockade and close up the ports

The true cause, probably OF the active

Failure to Suppress Cuban Revolu-
ton Thrown Tn to Him.


ton Thrown Tn to Him.
Madrid, July 26.-The discussion OF the
army bill in the senate today led to an
exciting scene. General Weyler arguing
against any reduction of the strength OF
the army warned the government that the
present situation made revolution high
ly probable since 1t had been so easy for
the army and people to make a common
cause. He himself, he said, had never
thought of heading rising. but it must
be confessed that revolutions sometimes
cleared the political atmosphere and ac-
complished the work of regulation.
The minister of the interior, replying,
severely censured General Weyler de-
claring that a general who with 100000
men had failed to suppress the Cuban revo-
luton had no right to make such threats
and that any attempt at revolution, no
matter by whom, would be proceeded
against with the utmost rlgor of the law.
The senate warmly applauded Senior Ga
tos speech. The army bill was adopted.

FRENCH SHOULD BE SATISFIED.
They Secured the Hotter End of the
UMrl,n

They Secured the Hotter End of the
Bargain.
Washington, July Pa great deal or
surprise has been caused In official circles
here by the unexpected opposition develop
ing in France to the ratification OF the
reciprocity treaty just negotiated by Mr..
Kasson and NJ. Cambon. 1t is not deemed
expedent now to make public the deiails
of the convention, but IL can be stated
authortarively that in the opinion of
our own authorities the French have
driven hard bargain in making the
treaty.
They have, it Is said. secured more ad-
vaniages than they had any just reason
to expect at the beginning OF the negotla-
tions and that success was ultimately OBJ
tanned is owing 10 the fact that the IL go-
tiaLors felt bound TO observe the beaest
OF the president and make a treaty N all
hazard. 1t is suspected here that the
french people are not aware of the actual
view of the concessions they have OBJ
tanned and there Is reason t. believe that
when tho champagne makers learn the
amount of the benefit they are to receive
the opp sition Will be transferred from
France to the United States.
II was said yesterday by NJ. Delcasse,
the French minister for foreign affairs hat
the treaty containing the favored nation
clause is said to be misleading TO he
public, for what 1t does contain In that
direction is special provision in the case
OF certain lines Of articles of import that
II the rate OF duty Is reduced below the
figures stated to any other nation, then
France shall have the same rate But this
provision is not general and applies only
to certain preferred articles. II Is believed
that under this head. however, the French
champagne growers Will benefit greatly.

CAN NOT GRANT EXTRACTION.
Crime Was Committed During Exist
ence of Old TrentN.

Washington, July 26.--Inquiry at the
state department fails to show that there
is any legal authority for the reported ex-
tradition from Mexico into Texas of Johr
Keeton, under charge of sheep stealing
and his subsequent trial in Texas for train
robbery and murder.
The extradtion law pledges the country
to try the person surrendered on the
charge presented onl. as basis for extra
dtion. The statement that the Mexican
authorities are refusing extradition on the
charge OF train robbery because Keeton
was an accomplice. is also said to be err
roneous and it is believed tho real reason
for refusal is that the crime of train rob-
berry was committed during the existence OF
the old lapsed extradition and so the ex-
tradition can not be granted.
