don—The Strong Measures Taken Ke-

gretted -What Effect It Will Have.

.'Latest From the Nicaraguan Coast.

LONDON, April 2!).—TL-3 following senii-ofricial note has been issued from the foreign office:

Up to now nothing has been officially received regarding the course of events in Nicaragua. No notification has been received of the landing of blue juckets, as stilted in the press dispatches.

The absence of information is believed to be due to the fact that the telegraph lines have been cut.

Up to the present time the admiralty is without information. No auxiety is felt as to the outcome of the Earl of Kiniberly's decided attitude. There is not the slightest doubt that Nicaragua will accede to the British demand. Whatever may be the extent of the pressure required to bring about this result the government will not hesitate to apply it.

The Observer says: "It is indeed probable that most Englishmen feel some regret that we have been driven to take strong measures against a remote little South American republic. The only consolation that we can discover is that we really could not help ourselves. The truth appears to be that the Nicaraguan government is thinking quite as much about what would lie good for itself as what would be the best thing for Nicaragua. Now that Admiral Stephenson's forces are in command at Corinto it may be hoped that the Nicaraguan government will find itself in a position to make the concessions required by the ultimatum."

WHY THEY DELAYED.

The Ell'ect of the Intervention of the United States.

LONDON, April 29.—The United States attempted to adjust the pending dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua. Ambassador Bayard, acting under instructions from Washington, represented to the British foreign office that Nicaragua, if given two weeks additional time from the expiration of the three days fixed in the ultimatum, would meet Great Britain's demand for the payment of £15,000 indemnity for the expulsion of Consul Hatch.

Lord Kiruberly acceded to this, and, as it was presumed that the state department at Washington was acting for the Nicaragua, it was thought that the incident would be closed without further complications. But as Nicaragua refused at the last moment to acquiesce in this arrangement, the original plan of occupying Corinto was carried out. It is now believed here that Nicaragua secured the intermediation of the United States for the sole purpose of delay.

British Organizing

NEW YORK, April 29.—A special to The World from Corinto, Nicaragua, says the town is perfectly quiet- The British are organizing their government.. An officer of the cruiser Royal Arthur tells The World's correspondent that the next two days will be decided whether they occupy more territory, including Paso do Caballos, or withdraw altogether, as important telegrams are expected from England. The messenger, who takes this, carries two telegrams from Admiral Stevenson, one for the British foreign office, the other lor the admiralty office.

Want. Them to l'ay It.

JOSK, Costa Rica., April 2:).—IT is learned hop* authoritatively that the Central American republics, Guatemala,

ban Salvador and Costa liica, slrongly r.rgeu Nicaragua to pay the $i5,0«K indemuiiy to Great Britain. President Ygirsias (-veil went so far as to oiler to contribute one-fifth of the amount, but popular sentiment in Nicaragua was so set against England that the administration decided not to yield and the only response received by President Yglesias to his offer was a copy of Nicaragua's answer to Admiral Stephenjoif* ultimatum.

Country fjuict.

Ni:w Yoi?.K, April 29.—A special to The World from Managua, April 28, says: It is stated here iu view of Nicaragua's tactics the last proposition made by United States Ambassador Bayard to the British government for a fortnight's time for Nicaragua to pay the indemnity in. will be accepted.

Mlieial reports show that the country is quiet.

Death of William K. Thornell at Hi* Homo in Taenma, Wash.

TACO.MA, April 29. William Ji. ThorueJl died yesterday, aged 39. .Me had been prominent in both Tacoi.ua and Seattle society. About 12 years ago, it is alleged, Thornell was tried ami convicted in Colorado under the name of Fre,d Hope, for eml.e/./liug funds from a railro.ui company by which lie was employed. Influential friends secured his release when he had served bin a short, part of his sentence. He first came to tins city and went later to Seattle and entered tne employ of the. Oregon Improvement company. Afterward he was assistant manager of the. Lake Shore and Eastern railroad, and still later an employ of the Boston National bank.

About six years ago he married Miss Cora Taylor, a Seattle so -iety girl, .and afterward his accounts with the bank were discovered to be short. His father-in-law made up the deficiency. Thrco years ago he came to Tacoma as bookkeeper for the contractors. Dickinson «& Company. His brother is secretary oi the United States Trust company in NBW York city.

A CORRESPONDENT'S VIEWS.

Arrival of Soldiers at Harucoa Knllven That Dull Little Town.

GIBARA, Cuba., April 29.—Your correspondent. has just arrived from the little town of Baracoa, which awoke on April 1, to find that it had gained prominence by the landing of Maceo and his party.

The town has again subsided into its usual tranquility, excepting that 150 government soldiers arrived from Guantanamo on April 3, and these were followed a few days later by 200 more, who came overland from Santiago.

The town, heretofore without scarcely any soldiers, now presents quite a military appearance and is strictly uuder martial law, but there has been no conflict of any kind within its limits. The soldiers are guarding the different fortifications and entrances of the town both day and night. Besides these regulars, there is a volunteer force of 800 men that patrol the streets at night and hence any efforts on the part of the insurgents to enter or capture the town would be almost an impossibility, unless perhaps they were in very large numbers, and us far as this immediate vicinity is concerned, she insurgents are very few.

The party that landed on the 1st have doubtless found it somewhat unpleasant around here and have evidently sought more congenial quarters. The colonel commanding the forces scoured the country for miles around Baracoa, but failed to detect any evidence of their presence. The few that left the town on the 1st to join those that landed, are mostly mulattoes. It is said they are not many miles from Baracoa and are desirious of returning to their homes, but fear imprisonment.

Last night- official telegrams were received from Guantanamo stating that the regulars and insurgents had exchanged a few shots which resulted in the killing of Flor Crombet and another insurgent, with the capture of seven rebels and all their firearms.

The dispatches further state that General Maceo, with his few followers, are said to be surrounded and will either be killed or will starve to death.

It is rumored that Maceo is very much dissatisfied with the condition of affairs on the island and says that he has been deceived in coming to Cuba, as he expected to find the entire island up in arms, but on his arrival he finds things entirely different. The two EngUih sailors captured from off the schooner Ilonora, which landed Maceo on the 1st, were sent to Santiago two days ago on the man-of-war, Coude de Venedito.

The very latest news states that all Maceo's force except two have been ouptured.

WALLER HAS A FRIEND.

l^x-l/'ongressiniui Langston Will l'lend the .Ex-Consul's Case.

WASHINGTON, April 29. Ex-Con-gressman John M. Langston, the attorney of ex-Consul Waller, who is imprisoned at St. Pierre by the French, is determined to push the case with all the power he possesses. "In the first- place," said he, "we propose to maintain the concessions obtained by Mr. Waller in Madagascar. The whole purpose of the prosecution and persecution of Waller by the French government was to despoil him of the concessions lie procured. The French government realizes that the concessions are of immense value. Them we intend fo force the French government to pav to Waller an indemity comniensurar-e with the prosecution he has undergone. He was given a mock trial, was threatened and finally con-

A'eyed

iu irons to France, where he now lies in prison awaiting a civil trial." Mr. Langston said the amount of indemnify to be asked would be determined after lie had communicated with Waller. Mr. Langston is entirely satisfied witii the course of the state department which he said had called for a thorough investigation of and report on the case by Minister Eustis at Paris and the coiisui at Tamatava, Madagascar. As soon as these are received, if they are shown to bear out Mr. Waller's representations, Mr. Langston expects the admiuistrut.on to take prompt action looking to the release of the prisoner and to demand from France a proper money indemnity.

Haw Gone to His IteMard.

This morning at 7:o0, Rev, William Anderson, well known in this city and throughout the county, died, of acute Pneumonia at his late home on east South street, after a short illness. Rev. Anderson was 74 years old and had been in vigorous health up to the time of his sickness. He has been a minister of the gospel for 53 years and was among the pioneer preachers who used to travel horreback, carried "saddle bags" and stood many hardships unknown to the younger portion of preachers. He was always a faithful minister and we learned from the family that more than a thousand persons had come into the different churches under his ministry. He has not been actively engaged as a preacher for several years but was making his ar rangements to attend the last North Indiana M. E. conference and take a charge, but his last sickness prevented him from goiug.

His last hours were peaceful and happy and he told his family that a bright heaven was waiting for him.

Rev. Anderson leaves a wife and the childdren. The children are Mrs. Ada New. Mat-tie and Gracie, of this city, Mrs. Inwood, of Kansas, and A. E. Anderson, of Elwood, Ind. They have the sympathy of the entire city As a citizen Rev. Anderson was an upright,honest and honorable man, ever ready to help those in need and always a eliee .ul word for his neighbors and friends. He was a stanch Republican and has held the office of Justice of the Peace in this township. The funeral will occur Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the M. E. church conducted by Kev. M. Nethereut, assisted by the Rev. Barclay of the M. P. church. The remains will be laid at rest in Park cemetery. Friends who wish to view the remains should call at the residence from 7:30 a. m. till 1:30 p. m. Wednesday as the casket will not be opened at the church.

Oil Near .Fortville.

Indianapolis Journal.

FORTVILLK, IXJJ., April 27.—For several weeks there have been rumors of a discovery of oil near here, but the matter has been kept very quiet. Yesterday a party of Anderson capitalists, headed by Maj. C. T. Doxey, arrived and perfected arrangements for dynamiting an abandoned gas well on the Perry Woods farm, six miles northwest, Oil has been flowing for some time from the well. They have also secured the Davis well, three-quarters of a mile west of town, which has been producing a small quantity of oil for years. This will also be be shot with the expectation of increasing the flow. There is considerable excitement and a number of strangers are here leasing lands.

The above article is conclusive evidence that oil in paying quantities abounds in Hancock county, and that by a little effort on the part of some of our enterprising citizens, we can soon have a new industry which will bring thousands of dollars into this county. But one thing we would caution land owners against is the leasing of their farms to foreign corporations. If we have a good thing in the oil business, let us keep it for the benefit of Hancock county people. Again we say, do not be in a hurry to lease your land.

To the Vuhlie.

I have been in the soda water business for the past ten years, and for the last two years I have owned a fountain in this city. I would not think of buying syrups or anything ebe for my fountain when can make the best and purest syrups myself.
