GBEENFIELD, INDIANA FRIDAY EVENING APRIL 17 1896

NICARAGUAN REYOLT

The Rebels Are Willing to Arrange For Peace.

OUR MINISTER CALLED ON.

He Is Wanted to Intervene Between the Two Opposing Factions—President Zelaya*s Only Terms Are Unconditional

Surrender Several Hundred Rebels Slain in the Last Engagement. MANAGUA,

Nicaragua, April 17.—A

telegram has just been received here from Nagarota, where President Zelaya now is, which says that a messenger from the rebels is now on his way to this city bearing a message from the leaders of the revolt to the United States minister, Lewis Baker. It is supposed here that they want Mr. Baker to intervene and arrange a peace between the contestants.

The only terms that President Zelaya has, up to this time, been willing to consider, are unconditional surrender on the part of the armed forces and giving up for trial of the leaders.

The progress of events recently has been steadily against the rebel cause. The government troops have entered upon their delayed co-operation with their Honduran allies, and for some days past the #\vo forces by a combined movement have slowly but surely been surrounding the rebels at Motombo la Paz, Chinandega, and other points. The government completed the circle when they took Ceiba Mocha.

Ceiba Mocha was attacked yesterday by the rebels, but they were repulsed with a heavy loss.

General Puiz, of the government forces, has taken Las Lirnas from the rebels, several hundred of them being killed.

President Zelaya is himself at Nagarote directing the campaign of the government forces.

TO MUCH WHISKY.

Congressman Bromwell lias a Scheme to Check Overproduction. WASHINGTON, April 17.—The Wilson

tariff act provides that the tax on distilled spirits must be paid within eight years from the date of their original entiy for deposit in any bonded warehouses. In the house yesterday Mr. Bromwell of Ohio, introduced a resolution suspending so much of the law as makes the bonded period eight years, as to all whiskies put in bond after July 1, 1896 and up to July 1, 1898, and requiring the distiller to pay the tax on those spirits within 12 months from the date of tbe original entry.

Mr. Bromwell, in explaining his action in presenting the resolution says that as a result of the long bonded period under the Wilson law there lias been an immense overproduction of whisky for speculative purporses. He thinks there is now sufficient whisky in the county to supply all legitimate demands for five years and if within the next two years distillers are required to pay the tax on spirits within 12 months after entry such action will tend to check further overproduction.

SAW A SAW.

The Mceks Family Murderer Might Have Soon Gained His Liberty. KANSAS CITY, April 17.—In the cell

of William Taylor, the Meeks family murderer, brought here from Carrollton to prevent a lynching, Marshal Keshler yesterday found a steel saw, eight inches long and half an inch wide. It was concealed in an old satchel brought from Carrollton by Taylor. With the tool Taylor would have been able to saw his way out within half an hour could he have worked uninterruptedly for that length of time.

After making this discovery, Marshal Keshler ordered two deputy marshals to watch the murderer's cell day and night, and refused to allow him to to see any one but his lawyers. Thousands have been visiting the murderer daily.

BERING SEA ARBITRATION TREATY. It Is Claimed That It Will Soon Be Ratified by Both Governments.

WASHINGTON, April 17.—To give effect to the Bering Bea arbitration treaty, approved by the senate Wednesday, it only remains for the British government to assent to the immaterial amendments adopted at the suggestion of the senate committee.

It is believed Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, -will be authorized by his government to act upon them at once in Washington and that exchange of ratifications will lollow quickly.

A selection of a commissioner to represent the United States on the arbitration has been under consideration, but it cannot be definitely learned who has been chosen. l'robabl* Wreck.

VICTORIA, B. C., April 17.—News has just been received from the north of the probable wreck of another vessel in the vicinity of the north end of Vancouver island. Wreckage has been found at the south end of Calvert island and on the shores of Fitzhugh sound, indicating that some large craft has come to grief in that locality. One piece was l'ound with the word "Geneva" on it, which is the name of a local sealer, but the safety of that vessel is known without doubt. Large timbers with big brass bolts are found among the wreckage, together with lumber, laths, etc., showing the vessel to have been a lumber carrier.

Their ltoat Overturned.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y., April 17.—While a number of men were trying to start a jam of logs OJI the Ausable river, between Keene village and Beedes yesterday, a boat .containing seven of the laborers was overturned, and Henry Poole and Edward' Nichols were drowned, and Wi:!t.T Hurlbort was badly injured.

HOBART FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

New Jwiwy Republicans Will Present His to tlie St. Louis Convention. TRENTON, April 17.—The Republicans

of New Jersey met here in convention yesterday afternoon and unanimously elected the slated candidates, United States Senator William J. Sewall, Gairett

A.

Hobart, John Kean, Jr., and

State Chairman Franklin Murphy, as delegates at large to the St. Louis convention, with Congressman H. C. Loudehslager, O. E. Breckinridge, Barker Cqnunere and Charles A. Reed as alternates.

The delegates were not instructed regarding the presidential nomination, buplatform contained a strong recommendation of Garrett A. Hobart as an available man for the vicdJjpresidency. Some friends of Mr. Hobart, led by Congressman McEwan, endeavored to secure the adoption of a specific endorsement of McKinley, but the leaders regarded such hampering of the delegates as impolitic, and the proposition was ruled out of order.

The principal interest in the platform centered in the money plank, and, as expected, the convention adopted a resolution declaring for the gold standard and against the free coinage of silver.

The friends of Mr. Hobart declare that his candidacy for vice president will be vigorously pushed. They recognize, however, that if an eastern man heads the ticket, his chances are weakened and it was for this reason that some of his friends endeavored to secure the endorsement of McKinley.

Elkins For President.

ELKINS, W. Va., April 17.—The Republican county convention of Randolph county, the home of Senator Stephen B. Elkins, yesterday adopted a strong resolution instructing the delegates to the state and district conventions to support delegates to the national Republican convention at St. Louis who are in favor of Hon. S. B. Elkins for president, and in the event that he is not and will not consent to be a candidate, then to vote for such delegates as will support William McKinley.

Keutucky Republicans.

LOUISVILLE, April 17.—The Republican state convention completed its labors and adjourned yesterday afternoon after endorsing the presidential candidacy of Governor Bradley, with second instructions for Major McKinley, adopting a platform declaring for the gold standard, protection and reciprocitor, and expressing sympathy with Cuba and electing four delegates from the state at large to the St. Louis convention. with alternates and electors.

,/ RATIONAL MINE WORKERS.

A Number of Resolutions Adopted at tbe Columbus Convention. COLUMBUS, O., April 17.—At the

session of the national mine workers a resolution was introduced recommending the nomination of Eugene Debs for president by the Populist national convention at St. Louis in July, but was withdrawn after a lengthy debate for the following: "That we recommend to the wage earners of the country the advisability of nominating a representative wage earner or a well known friend of tlie wealth-producers for the presidency of the United States to be held next November."

A resolution complimenting Secretary McBryde for his long and valuable services to the organization was adopted.

A resolution condemning tlie Now York and Cleveland Coal company for not keeping its pledge with the miners, and one thanking Governor Altireld for pardoning J. (J. verier miners, were adopt ed.

The election of oiiiiTia resulted as follows: President, P. H. Penna, reelected: Vice President, Cameron Miller of Massiilun, O. Secretary and Treasurer, W. C. Pearce of Corning, O. The executive committee has not yet been elected.

Hotel Damaged by Fire.

ABBEVILLE, N. C., April 17.—The Battery Park hotel, the largest in Asheville, was damaged by fire yesterday to the extent of $80,000. The flames originated in the kitchen about 7:30 o'olook. There were over 200 guests in the hotel, and all left the building quietly. No one was hurt. The flre was confined to the wing occupied by the kitchen and servants' quarters. The flames were extinguished by 9 o'clock, and at noon most of the guests had returned to their rooms. The hotel will not close.

Bridge Disaster Verdict.

To ©DO, April 17.—Coroner Henseler has rendered a verdict in the Wheeling and Lake Erie bridge disaster. He finds that Marshall, the switchman, came to his death by reason of negligence of the railway company in not providing a safe structure for its trains. He fixes the entire blame for the accident on the company, and recommends that the state officials order an inspection of the bridge at once, as he declares that it is entirely too light for the traffic now passing over it.

New Comet Discovered.

PASADENA, Cal., April 17.—Just 10 days ago Professor Swift of the Mount Love observato.y discovered an "object in the heavens which he suspected to be a new comet. On Monday night the suspicion was partially verified, and last night fully so. The visitor is in right ascension 3 hours 38 'minutes, declination north, 15 degrees 40 minutes. The comet is bright with along tail. Its motion is very slow.

Lawyers Caused All the Trouble. CITY OF MEXICO, April 17.—The gov­

ernment will send five battalions of troops into the troubled districts of Oaxaca, although one would be ample to deal with the refractory Indians. There would have been 110 outbreak but for the instigation of the petty village lawyers, who aroused the worst passions of the iguoraufc Indians. There will likely be fewer lawyers in a fortnight.

DREAMS OF DRESS.

Dolly Varden hats and Dolly Varden silks and muslins have corno buck to high favor.

Grassoloth is likely to hold its high position for the entire summer, for in order to keep it from becoming common its price is quite high.

Panniers appear upon a few of the Parisian models. They are of drapery net or other airy toxtilo and merely suggest a pannier in arrangement.

The new sheer wools, both plain and patterned, are a delight to the eye, with their daintiness of tint, and to the touch with their silky softness.

The newest organdies are in exquisite drosdon patterns, and the India muslins copy expensive Marie Antoinette silks and satin brocades in their designs.
