6.—The

Nicaraguan government having,through the Salvadorean minister at London, accepted the modified ultimatum of the British government, the dispute between the two countries is practically at an end.

As stated in the previous dispatches orders were cabled from London to Rear Admiral Stephenson, commanding the British squadron at Corinto, directing him to evacuate the port. Shortly afterward the warships presented a scene of orderly bustle, giving evidence that something out of the usual course was going on. Boats passed frequently beween the shore and the vessels, the littie midshipmen in charge wearing an air of greater importance than usual, 'liiey were evidently bearers of communications to Captain Trench of the Royal Arthur, who, upon the seizure of Corinto, had been appointed by Admiral Stephenson, governor of the port.

The force originally landed by the British to hold the place was J00 blue jackets and marines, but on Friday, wlien it became known that the tension

the exception of .rs marines aud their officers, were withdrawn. .Shortly after the fiag denoting that religious services were 111 progress 011 hoard the warships was hauled down the marines, who had been drawn up in front of the customhouse, were ordered to return to their ships. A few minutes later the British fiag was hauied down from the govern moiit t-uilding. and soon the soil of Nicaragua was rid of tlie British invaders and the long strokes of the sailors were sweeping the heavy boats to the warships lying in the harbor.

Hundreds of persons assembled along the shore to see the embarkation of the marines, and a cheer went up as the noses of the boats headed harborward.

The warships were soon riding at short cables, but their departure was delayed by the tide, which did not serve until the afternoon. It was expected that the flagship would depart with the other two vessels of the fleet, but when the water was high enough 011 the bar to permit of the passage of the vessels, only the Wild Swan and Satellite got under way, and with the red ensign of Great Britain snapping in tlie breeze stood out to sea. The flagship, the Royal Arthur, paid out her cable again and this fact was believed to confirm a report that she would salute the Niearaguan flag when the government repossessed itself of the port.

As has been before stated in these dispatches, Nicaragua lias agreed to pay the $77,500 demanded by Great Britain for

HIE

expulsion of pro-Consul Hatch

and for other alleged damages to British subjects arising from the recent troubles in the Mosquito reservation, but instead of paying the money at the cannon's mouth, as the British government originally demanded should be done, she will pay it in London 15 days after the last vessel of tile British fleet withdraws from Corinto. There are other questions of damage to British subjects to be settled, but Nicaragua believes that if these questions are submitted to an impartial commission, the judgment will be rendered in her favor.

Well authenticated reports have readied here that Chief Clarence, the of the Mosquito reservanow in Kingston, Jamaica, is the recipient of £6 per day from the British government, and these reports do not tend to allay the popular animosity against Great Britain, it being held that she would not take such an in-

EiifE

terest in Clarence if she did not have ulterior designs regarding him. It is broadly stated that Great Britain intended to restore him to his chieftainship, but to do so now she would have to despoil Nicaragua of the territory formerly ruled over by him, which a few clays ago was incorporated as a state, which was named Zelava in honor of the president of Nicaragua.

I11 well-informed circles it is not believed that Great Britain Avill ever attempt to restore to Ciarence under the present status, since should she endeavor to do so now, it is though t, the United Stales would interfere to prevent what would practically amount to a confiscation of territory.

There is much doubt- here as to what the exact attitude of the goveruliit-va at Washington has been during the whole of the dispute. Alauy conflicting statements are made, some of which the United States, if ihey protested at all, against the occupation of Nicaraguan t-'-rritory. did so 111 a perfunctory manner. while 011 the other hand, it is i-iaimed that it was through their efforts and 111 a measure under their direction that. Senor Madi, the Salvadorean minister at London, took such a successful part in the negotiations that led to the acceptance by the Earl of Kiinbcrly, the British foreign secretary, 01 the propos that smart money be paid 111 London instead of to Admiral Stephenson at Corinto.

The action of San Salvador in guaranteeing tlie payment, of the indemnity, as, 111 fact, her course throughout the whole dispute, is very favorably co mented upon in official circles, and it is believed that an entente will be established that: will lead to results benelicial to both countries. It would not be at I'll surprising if this trouble with Gieat Britain should result in the formation .if an alliance between tho Central American states for defensive purposes, l'here is 110 denying tlie iact that the attitude of Great Britain 111 her treatment of Nicaragua, and her dealings with other small powers, has caused an itwakening among tlie Central American republics to the danger to which :.hey are exposed from British aggression.

There is a strong belief here that Jreat Britain will never submit any in estion that may arise between herself iind the Central American states to arbitration, but that she will herself sit :n judgment on tlie question and then proceed by force of arms to enforce her own decree. Not for years has there Leen such unanimity of opininion uniting the Spanish-American republics, and I he situation may be best summed

np by comparing it to the flurry among a group of chickens when a hawk dashes down among them and despoils the flock. Great Britain lias success fully played the role of a hawk, aud the flurry caused by her action shows no signs of subsidence.

The governments of the Central American states and those of several of the South American countries have telegraphed to President Zelava suggesting riie formation of a commercial union against tlie productions of Great Britain aud also against the transportation of Central and South American products in British bottoms. If such a union could be definitely arranged and the terms be put into force quite a severe blow would be dealt to British trade, and eventually the British government would rind that its treatment of Nicaragua had cost it a sum of money far in excess of the smart money that she demanded from Nicaragua.

ORDER OUT

OF CHAOS.

Only Ten People

Wore Killed in tlie Iowa Cyclone.

ITY,

la., May (3.—Order is

coming out of clioas in the narrow district of Sioux county, which was swept by the tornado on Friday afternoon, Prompt aid has made the survivors of the devastated country as comfortable as possible. Nearly all the dead are now buried and none of the injured now living are thought to be fatally hurt.

The .I our mil's staff representative who went all over the ground swept by the storm, says $10,000 will cover the property damage, including outbuildings and houses. In few places are the crops seriously damaged, for grain was not up far enough to be killed or disloged by the wind, and the principal injury in I the fields was by the plastering of mud

become relaxed, all of them, with which they received. This mud shower

was a prominent part of the phenomena of the storm, but it seems that the power of the wind simply scooped up the black, wet earth from the surface in several places and distributed it over the fields.

The correct list of dead numbers 10. None have died since Saturday. About 20 persons were injured in Sioux county.

The mayor of Sioux Center has appealed to Sioux City for aid, and a public meeting was held Saturday night and arrangements made for sending clothing and money. Officials of Sioux county, however, say it is not needed that all have been properly cared for and the people of the neighborhood are •well able to do it. In the whole territory eovere.l by the tornado but three farmers were renters. All the rest were well-ti-do and some are wealthy.

FROM A SPANISH SOURCE. According to These ItcportH the Cubau .Rebellion Is About Over.

ADKID,

May ti.—General Calleja,

formerly captain general of Cuba, has arrived here from Havana. In an interview he stated that he was aware of the beginning of the rising in Cuba, and was iuioruied as to the movements of I the filibusierers in the United States and the separatists in Cuba. He was, however, powerless to prevent the. rising in the eastern end of the island, owing to the want of organized troops and the scarcity of var material. He had only 9,000 soldiers and 4,200 raw recruits, a 1 force that wus not adequate to garrison the towns, let alone to take the field against the lebels.

Though he was not aware that filiblistering expeditions were being organized in .liayti, Tampa, Key West, Costa Rica and elsewhere, he had only seven inferior gunboats to watch 400 leagues of coast line General Callega added that lie believed Marshal De Campos, his successor, would speedily pacify the I island. The poverty prevailing in Cuba, hi declared, 5ad forced many starving men to join the rebeis.

NEW GRAIN DESTROYED.

An Insect, Destroying tlio Wlient, Crop in Csil 11 ia. S

TOCKTON,

Cal., May (.—Tlie farmers

of San JoiKtuin and adjoining counties in the great California wheat belt are eomphuui'ng about tlie ravages of a new gram destroyer. It is supposed to be the aphis, an insect, belonging to the heirlptera iannly. Many hundreds of acres en late sown wheat are affected, and the crop will be greatly shortened.

Those insects attacks roots and leaves a web or film about each separate root, destroying the plant. After the aphis has attacked a field the grain ceases growing and tlie blades color very similar to rust.

Reports from Stanislaus county indicate that tanners suffer more than those of Saa Joaquin county.

-FOREST FIRES.

Crrat instruction Dune in the Vicinity of Itnulford, l'ii. BR.YDKOUD. Pa.,

ay (I.—Tlie most

destructive forest fires known 111 this section for years have raged for the past week. About

o'clock yesterday

morning a lire started between Glen Hazel and Kethers. Dolliver's large sawmill, located between these points, was soon destroyed together with 10,000,000 feet of lumber, an engine house, railroad switches, li] cars of lumber and coal, eight dwellings, an oil we'll and several thousand acres of timberland.

A special train consisting of a steamer and a large force of firemen with hose was sent from here to the scene of tlie conflagration. The firemen were unable to do anything more than prevent the fire from approaching the town and succeeded in diverting tlie course of the flames.

Every tiling in the woods is as diy as tinder and the leaves aud underbrush furnish abundant fuel for the blaze. The flames are going up the hillside at a rapid rate and destroying everything in their path. The sky is "black with a stifling smoke and the flames shoot up as high as the tops of the trees.

It was with difficulty that the inmates of the buildings escaped with their lives, A man had his shoulder broken and another injured internally, while jumping from one of the buildings. I11 another house lay a woman who had given birth to a child 21 hours previous. She was rescued from the flames with much difficulty and it is ieared she will die from fright and exhaustion. \esterday afternoon a second appeal was received from Glen Hazel asking for more help, and :l.j firemen with hose were sent by special train. It was feared that the lire was about cross the east branch of the Clarion river and wipe out the town of Glen Hazel.

The woods along the Erie railroad between Kethers and Bradford are on lire and it i., feared the loss to oil and lumber property will be great.

The following are the losses: Elias Dcemer of V'iliiamsport, i,000,000 feet of hemlock lumber, valued at $si5,000, partially insured: Delos'sawmill, .^'0,000, 110 insurance lvaner, St. Mary's and Shawniut railroad. ^0,000 insured.

Fires are raging between Roxford and Farmers' Valley on valuable timber lands and large quantities have been destroyed. The Columbia Oil company's property is now threatened.

Between Crawford Junction and Biferville, a fierce fire is raging on both sides of the Erie tracks.

Considerable damage has been done between Gallagher and Hutchins. A fire has been in progress at Chipmunk since Thursday and several oil well rigs owned by Franchot Brothers of Olean, N. Y., were destroyed.

Between Smethport and Rew City, tlie woods are 011 fire in several places, but no damage has been reported.
