U. 8. ACTS PROMPTLY.
No Armed Force in eIuefields and No
Excuse For Bombardment.

No Armed Force in eIuefieIds and No
Excuse For 1ombardment.
Washington, May 49, Commander
Gilmer, Of the Paducah, has served
notice on the commanders Of the, Mad
riz and Estrada forces and on Irias, in
command, Of the steamer Venus, that
the threatened bon1bardment ofr-Blue-
Qe.ds. Nicaragua, will not be permitted.
NOR will he allow any fighting In the
city. Consul Moifat, at Bluefields, tele-
graphs under yesterdays date, that the
Venus. commanded by Irias, with 800.
men and mounted guns on board,
reached Bluefields at 8 p. m. The de-
mand for the surrender of the city and
customs house at the bluff was made
thru the gunboat Paducah and the Con-
sulate. The demand stated that If the
surrender was refused Bluefields and
the bluff would be bombarded. Gilmer
served on the commanders Of the Mad
riz and Estrada forces and on Irias
notice that for the purpose Of pro-
tecting the lives and property of Amer
leans and other foreigners in Blue
fields he demanded first that there
should be no armed conflict in the city;
second, that only such armed forces,
not exceeding 100 men, would be al
lowed in Bluetields as necessary for
police duty until a>stable government
is established: third, that no lombard
ment Of the city be permitted since
there is no armed force in Bluefields,
and such bombardment would result
only in the destruction of lives and
property Of Americans and other for
eign non-combatants. Moffat also re-
ports that Estrada has replied to Irias,
refusing surrender. The steamship
Dictator, Of New ORLEANS, was entering
port when Moffat telegraphed, and no.
tice Of the blockade was being served
on her by the commander Of the Venus.

New Orleans, May 1s.-The crisis Of
the Nicaraguan situation, involving the
supremacy of Madriz or Estrada, is
only a few days removed, in the light Of
advices received here. If Estrada is
able to repel attack at Rama, said to
be the only possible gateway to Blue
fields, and the steamer Venus is held
off from an attack on the harbor, the
revolutionary forces will, it is believed,
be in position to obtain recognition
from an east coast government. It is
reported that the United States gun
boats Dubuque and Paducah at Blue
fields might interfere in case of an en-
gagement in Bluefields harbor.

Industrial education in the United

mapped out, but whether it will be
possible to put it into execution will

unknown. The men who were in the
boiler room are dead. No one else who
survived can give an explanation.
The big plant is total wreck. The
Identification Of some Is almost i'm

and legs scattered for a block and
fragments OF flesh have been found
in the trees and on the neighboring
roofs. A hundred men We're at work,
About a dozen escaped uninjured. The
are frantic. One body was blown thru
house 700 feet away. The body en-
tered the house from the side and went
thru bedroom and out on the other
side.
The torse of another victim was
found in a garden about 500 feet from
the scene of the explosion. Nearly all
the victims who were nearest the boil
ers were torn limb from limb and hurl-
ed hundreds of feet Severed heads,
arms, and legs Were strewn about the
neighborhood, and the bodies OF seven
men. mangled beyond recognition, were
found in one heap in the north end of
the mill. a considerable distance from
the boiler room.
One man who was found by q would
be rescuer was pinned beneath a heavy
timber. In spite of the fact that one
of his arms was tossl olc,. and that there
was gaping hole in his side. the man
was conscious. He begged piteously
that his rescuer kill him with a club.
He died before he could be extricated
There were 100 men at work IN the
plant at the time of the explosion, and
only a dozen or so escaped unhurt
These headed the rescue squads which
formed almost instantly. and were re-
inforced by the prompt arrival of the
fire department.
There were five separate mills in the
plant yard and four of these were de-
molished. 1t was only the men in the
mill farthest from the boiler room who
escaped injury. Every man working in
the other four mills was either killed or
injured.
