AMERICAN VESSELS
SEIZED BY ZBLAYAN
Appeal to Admiral Kimball,
but 1t Goes Unheeded.

Bluehelds. March .. by wireless to
Colon.-The auxiliary schooners Lark and
Esfuerzo. the property Of American mer-
chants. have been seized by an armed
party under the leadership of Enrique
Espinosa, brother Of the former ZeIayan
envoy at Washington, in the name OF the
constitutional government
The vessels were engaged in the coast
wise trade and were carrying supplies TO
the mining town OF Prinza Pulea, 40
miles north Of Bluehelds. The American
war ship Paducah, at the suggestion OF
Mr. Moffatt, the American consul, pro
ceeded TO Greytown to investigate the
seizure.
Admiral KimbaH notified the comman-
der of the Paducah that it was impossible
for him to demand the surrender of the
seized vessels, owing to the fact that
they are under Nicaraguan register. This
decision is interpreted as meaning that
further seizures OF vessels owned by
Americans viii be countenanced.
The Americans here are inquiring If the
United States will not protect their in
terestS as no government is established
here from which they can seek protec-
ton. It is believed that Espinosa will
offer the seized schooners TO President
Madriz to assist in the transportation Of
troops from San Juan.
President Madriz now has 2,O0O men at
San Juan. and more are en- route for the
San Juan River, commanded by Gen.
Irriss, minister OF war.
The situation is critical and is approach
ing a climax.

Annapolis, March 25.-Demo-
cratic representatives in the Mary
land legislature decided in caucus
tonight to ignore the fifteenth
amendment in all elections by re-
fusing to the negroes the right TO
register, and thereby eliminating
them from the voting population.
This plan has been under consid-
Grafton for some time, the various
amendments to the constitution
having failed to deprive him Of his
rights.
Leading lawyers who have had
the proposition under consideration
attended the caucus by invitation
tonight and explained that as
Maryland had been one OF the
States which refused to ratify the
fifteenth amendment, it need not be
bound by its provisions, and thus
Maryland follows the example OF
South Carolina seventy years ago
when it adopted the notification
act.
WORD "WHITE' RETAINED.
These lawyers hold that the word
white" as applied 70 the franchise right
was not removed from the state eonstitu-
ton. and therefore the negro can be re-
fused the right to register or TO vote. The
plan agreed upon by tie members OF the
dominant party is TO hold new registra-
ton Of voters In 1911, at which time the
plan viii be put in operation. The vote
by which the Democrats agreed to this
bold plan was unanimous. and the regis
tration lists created viii not apply TO any
but state elections.
Following the enactment Of this law,
there viii be submitted a constitutional
amendment which disfranchises the negro.
ana with this law in force. it is expected
10 pass. This amendment also repeals
the Wilson ballot laws. and provides for
uniform and fair elections throughout the
State.
In the event OF the amendment being
declared unconstitutional. then the laws
now on the books are TO again become
effective, the law acting automatically
The act applies only to State and munic-
ipal elections, and becomes effective
in April 1872 At national elections a
different set OF books are to be used, the
negroes then being allowed 10 register.
AS the Democrats have a three-fffths
majority in both branches. the amend
ment will undoubtedly pass. The vote
tonight was unanimous.
Drastic Step, Say Republicans.
It is the most drastic step. Republicans
say, in recent American history, and not
since the war between the States has
there been an act which so strongly
asserted the discarded doctrine OF State
rights.
There were Democrats who went into
caucus tonight declaring that they could
not support the proposition. because out
side its revolutionary nature Il would, If
adopted, revive the fast disappearing III
feeling between the North and South
But III the caucus the Democrats fell un-
der the influence Of W. L. Marbury, w
L. Rawls, and A. w. Machen, jr., Balti-
more lawyers, who argued that the plan
Is constitutional. Republicans claim the
proposition would violate the Federal and
state constitutions,
A bitter war on Acknowledgement seems
at hand again. There will be two regis
tration lists, one for whites and one for
blacks The negroes will be permitted to
vote for Congressman. in order TO avoid
conflict with the Federal Constitution.
