Rr;tain Demands Indemnity

News has been received at Jamaica
that the imperial government Will de-
mand, through the captain Of the British
cruiser Retribution, heavy indemnity
from the Nicaraguan government for the
illegal seizure of the Caymen turtle h'h-
ermen ten miles beyond the limit, al d
also for the destruction of the fishermen 5
nets and other fishing gear and the
brutal treatment of the crews, whom the
Nicaraguan soldiers assaulted and then
tied, leaving them for hours exposed to
broiling sun.
It was announced from Kingston
April that according TO official advices
six Caymen turtle schoOners had been
seized by The Nicaraguan government,
and their crews arrested and conveyed to
Gracias Dios. ImmediatelyO on receipt
of the news tho Cayman commissioner
forwarded a dispatch to the government
at Kingston, and the latter cOmmuni-
Gated with the British foreign office on
the subject.
A dispatch received from Kingston
April II said that, acting under instruc-
tious from the imperial government, the
British cruiser Retribution was proceed
ing to Bluefelds in connection with the
affair.
To prevent any possible misunder-
standing, the British government,
through its amba .sador iu Washington
has explained fully to the State Depart
ment the object of the dispatch Of tho
British warship Retribution from jana
cia to the Mosquito coast Of Nicaragua
and this explanation is said to be satls'
factory. The British government Is
anxious to have the Nicaraguan govern
meut protect the Mosquito Indians
formerly under British protection, an'
also INQUIRE into the claims OF the cap
tainsSof certain small turtle fishing yes
sells now detained at Bluefelds that the.
have been wrongfully arrested.

SITUATION IN THE EAST.

That the japanese are ABOUT W hidAS
an important movement in the vicinity
Of Yinkow and Niuchwang is apparent
nv adyices from several sources. The
Russian censors at Port Arthur and
other points in the vicinity are not per-
mitting information concerning the real
situation to be made public.
A japanese fleet variously estimated
at 60 to so transports protected by war
sbips has. according to reports, been seen
heading for Yinkow, at the mouth Of the
Lao river. This is the port OF Much
wang which is about 80 miles distant
nm the river. Yinkow, which is con-
nected by rail with the Port Arthur
branch of the Siberian Railroad, is the
kew to the Lao Valley. The possession
of Yinkow by the Russians gives them
for their fleet an excellent anchorage and
coaling station.
Its possession by the japanese would
secure them a base of operations within
a davis march of the Port Arthur branch
of the Siberian Railroad and only $50
miles from Moukden Most important
of all. it would force the Russian garfl-
son at Port Arthur on its defenses and
cause the isolation of that place.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
the japanese are preparing to cut the
Russian line of communication along the
peninsula of Liaotung at the same time
that they cross the Yalu river.
A detachment of Russian troops which
left southern Ussuri has reached Maoer-
shan. on the west bank of the Yalu river
175 miles north of Pingyang, without
having encountered any Of the enemy.
The detachment has occupied a noun
tain pass between Manchuria and Korea,
which it is fortifying with mountain
batteries.
An official telegram states that mere
IS no change in thesituation on the 1aiu
river The Russian outposts are now on
islands ofthe river close to the japanese
! outposts which are preparing to retire,
according to the Russian version.

tleship Petropa7lovsk and other disasters
the st. Petersburg government is show
ing ieverish activity. The first Of II new
submarine boats was started for the iai
East yesterday. 1t is expected that all o.
them will be at Port Arthur by the mid
die of July.
The first connected account OF The
naval operations accompanying the loss
of the Petropavlovsk is sent from Por
Arthur bv the Associated Press cores
poudent, who saw them. Vice-Admira
Makarof was at his post of duty on th'
bridge when the explosion came. Th'
sinking of the vessel took place exactly
in the manner predicted by MakaroH in
supposititious case which formed the sub
iect of lecture delivered by him in 1894
The point is raised that the civilized
nations may unite to put a limit on hi
use of mines as Vice-Admiral Togo useC
them at Port Arthur. 1t is stated by
naval men that Cervera' feet could have
been blown to atoms at Santiago ha'
Schley resorted to such methods.

There was good run of business all

see what it was like, and before the
dinner hour was over there was moth
ing left but steaks and chops.
The place is fitted up attractively.
The big room with sanded floors is
furnished in black painted wood with
dark red trimmings and has some
thing of the look of an old English
inn There is a white brick fireplace
and electric lighted lanterns hang
from the rafters. Some of these have
red glass. The menu card, on the

Next Years Maneuvers.

Nearly year in advance of the
event, the first meeting of the board
of engineer officers met in Washington
last week to plan for the combined
maneuvers of the Army and Navy, to
be held next June in chesapeake
Bay. It has been found necessary
in order to complete the engineering
preparations in time, to begin work
shortly. According to the programme
as suggested, strong naval fleet will
attempt to force the passage of Chesa-
peake Bay and to invest the cities of
Washington, Baltimore, Norfolk and
others in the vicinity. This will be
resisted by land force at Fort Mon
roe and other Notifications, with war
ships, submarine mines and torpedoes.
The details of the programme are to
be drawn mp by a joint board of
Army and Navy officers of high rank.
