PROTOCOL WITH NICARAGUA.
Scope of the Arrangement Entered
Into with the Government Of
Nicaragua at Manngua.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE arrange

that Nicaragua is willing to enter in
to with the United States in the event
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
ratified by the United States and

YOUNG CLERK GONE WRONG.
He Received Twenty-Five Dollars q
Month for Handling Other
Peoples Money.

ST. Louis, Dec. 11.-Herman Ernst,
is years old, a clerk for the last eight
months in the Continental national
bank, was arrested by Chief of De-
tectives Desmond, Monday, on a
charge of embezzling $7Sl from the
bank. At first he was inclined to
deny the accusation, but he finally
broke down under the cross-question-
ing of the chief and confessed TO the
whole amount. He is under 81 900
bond, furnished by the Philadelphia
Bonding Co. He says he spent the
money running around having good
time.
Young Ernst held the position Of
eastern remittance clerk, taking care
of all the exchanges from the east.
Though receiving salary of only s25
q month he handled hundreds of dol
lars daily, and his position was re-
sponsible one.
Ernst lays the blame upon the
small salary he received, saying that
lie could not live on the amount given

THE sCHLEY VERDICT READY.
Findings and Opinion VIII fro"-
ably be Submitted TO the see
rotary of the Navy To-Day.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-Ihe ochiey
court of inquiry will probably submit
its findings and opinion to the seere-
tary of the navy tomorrow. III Is uh-
derstood that at meeting to-day the
secretary approved the written orai'
of its conclusions on all except one
point of the precept which had not
been definitely determined. Addition
al information relating to this poiht
was regarded as necessary, ms was
secured. and it is believed that the
court not only disposed of the matter
but drafted its conclusions on the
subject into the report before ad-
iournment From all accounts, the
courts findings and conclusions were
put into writing by Rear-Admlral
Ramsay, junior member. The great
est care has been taken to prevent
the substance. or any information
whatever about the reportto leakout.
1t is even said that the members OF
the court agreed not to discuss the
case with members of their own fam
lilies. From the little that has leaked
out about the methods of court pro"
cedure, it is the understanding that
the report will not be submitted to
a typewriter operator for copying
but will be laid before the secretary
of the navy in the handwriting of the
member deputed to draft it.

unfit for use on human beings, but
felt that ! could not question DR..

n RIVALS b|)N|N[ CASE.
The Police Of Washington have An
other Mysterious Assault
Case to Deal With.
A FASHIONABLE M0DlSTE THE VICTlM.
Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis Found in au
Almost Dying Condition as the
Result of a Fiendish Assault by
an Unknown Person While In
Her Bed.

Washington, Dec. 1.-Mrs. Ada
Gilbert Dennis, fashionable dress
maker, was found in an almost dying
condition in her room at a. m, un-
der circumstances that promise to
rival the BOnine murder case. Her
skull was fractured, jawbone broken
and left ear almost severed from the
head. Her left arm bore bruises indi-
cative Of struggle and her clothing
and bedding were saturated with
blood. She was removed to the Gar
field hospital and large force of de-
tectves put on the case. The name
of her assailant is unknown.
The general belief is that Mrs. Den
mis- was attacked while asleep in her
back room on the first floor, and that
the first blow, in all probability adj
ministered with the piano stool,
which was smeared with blood rem
dered her unconscious. The prelim-
mary investigation by the police fails
w llulCutc llldt tltIC was any SlluS
gle. Mrs. Dennis, in conscious mo-
ment, while being carried to the hos
pital, said that someone had hurt"
her, but when pressed for details
merely responded; "Never mind" ="
Robbery apparently was not the mo-
tive for the assault, for on the table
at the foot of the bed was small
box containing a pocketbook well
There was bloody imprint of n
hand on the piano lid in the parlor,
and window in that room was
open. 1t is supposed the assailant es-
capped through this window. When
found, Mrs. Dennis was clad in her
night garments and was in bed un-
der the cover. She was partly con-
scious, although she has been uncon-
scious most of the time since. The
detectives are satisfied that several
blows of the piano stool must have
been welded with considerable force
and that there was no outcry,at least,
audible. Her groans. however, were
heard by woman on the third floor
and in the adjoining house. About the
same time Policeman Livingston and
a Waterman, who were two blocks
away, heard what they believed to be
a woman's screams. Mrs. Dennis is
about AZ years old and is one Of the
best known women in business here
She is the widow of Walter Dennis, an
actor.
An operation was performed on
Mrs. Dennis at the hospital Tuesday
afternoon. Very little hope is held
out for her recovery.
