STEAL MARCH ON
 NICARAGUANS AT NEW ORLEANS

The difference between the cases of the captain and that of the steamer is in the different sections of the neutrality acts upon which the charges are based.
 Captain Hyland was charged with pro- noting a filibustering expedition, and the steamer is libelled on the ground that it contains filibustering material.
 Today's libel was filed in the name of Albert J. Oliver business partner of Gen. Richard Sussman. Sussman is the principal representative here of the insur- gents
 That the Venus was to be used in the attack against Bluefields in conjunction with the Madriz troops on land Is the claim of the insurgents. who say that they will make an effort to sink or cap ture the steamer if she ever gets away from New Orleans and starts for the Ncaraguan coast The fact that the Venus Is of British register and flies the British flag brings up an interesting point in international law according to the au- thorities in admiralty who are taking an interest in the case.
 That the proposed attack of the Madriz forces against Bluefelds will not be made until the Venus reaches Nicaragua is the general belief in the local Central Amer ican colony

COTTON PROBE IS
 COSTLY TO PEOPLE

Washington, April 29.-"The investi : gation into the sales of cotton which Attorney General Wickersham is con :. ducting has cost the American peo- pie nearly $40, 100000"
 So asserted Senator Smith of South Carolina in the Senate today.
 He was making speech in the hope of persuading the Senate to adopt the resolution directing the Attorney Gen eral to ascertain the names of the per sons who sold the cotton to the New York pool.
 Mir. Smith said that whereas only o,O0O,OO0 worth of manufactures goods had been exported last year, $500, ,000, 900 worth of raw cotton lad been sent abroad. This year the cot ton exportation he said would be about $500, 100000.
 "The Attorney General is investigat- ing the sales of spot cotton. I want him to investigate the sellers--to find out who were engaged in trying to put down the prize. ] want him to inquire as to the gentlemen who got together and sold the cotton without having it to sell. His investigation 50 far as it has gone has depressed the price to the extent of a cent ! pound, total cost to the people at large of s40,000,0o0. Let him extend the inquiry so as to show the real facts"
 The resolution was adopted It di- rects the Attorney General to inquire as to the names of the party or parties or corporations that sold the cotton, alleged to have been bought by a pool of purchasers who are now under investigation by the department of justice"; also as to the prices "wh ether or not they owned the cot ton at the time of the sale thereof" :" and the price of spot cotton in the south on the date of the contracts.
 Senator Clay introduced a bill pro- hibiting the transimssicn by mail, tels- phone or telegraph of all information concerning future sales of cotton.

New Orleans, April 2s.-After Capt John Hyland master of the steamer Venus, heard the decision of the United States commissioner today declaring that there was no evidence upon which to hold him on a charge of violating the neutrality laws, he prepared to apply for clearance papers to Greytown, Nicaragua, only to find that the representatives of the Nic- aragua insurgents in the city had libelled the steamer. Anticipating from the con- missioner a decision unfavorable to their cause the insurgents had already drawn up the papers and they were filed before the captain could even apply for clear ance The latest coup detat of the in- surgents will probably result in another prolonged delay in the departure of the Venus. which, according to the allega- tions in the case, has been fitted out by the local representatives of Madriz to be used in a war against a country with which the United States is at peace. It was admitted at the hearing of the charges against Captain Hyland that the steamer has aboard a generous supply of rifed cannon, ammunition and other nut nitions of war.
