( By Mall to the Associated Press. ) The Nlcaraguans are In Illuefields , but America Is morn Involved than over and Captains O'Neill and Summer have telegraphed to the secretary of stale nt Washington for Instructions. General Cabczas arrived off lllueficlds July 31 , coming down the river from llama with COO troops In American launches belongl.\g to the Mobile Fruit and Trading company , nnd flying the American flag. The launches liad been seized before Captain O'Nvlll visited Cabczas nnd compelled to sur render , a written promise being given that they would not bo touched again. Never theless they wcro seized during the night nnd the crew compelled to man the boats at the point of the bayonet. Cabzas claimed they were Nlcaraguan property and that the crews went willingly and were ] > ald for their services. Captain O'Neill re- fus-d to bcllc\o the story , especially as the crows made affidavits to the contrary. He refused to shake hands with Cabczas and forced the launches to get away after they had landed the troops at Blueflclds so th < y could not be used again. Captain Stuart of the British cruiser Mohawk sent his men ashore to aid the American soldiers In Kunrdlng foreign Interests. The Nlcaruguan plan was to take the town without bloodshed by sending a largo fores , GOO men coming from Greytown as well. This was easy , as Clarence did not Intend to offer resistance nnd besides had no force of allies to give battle If he had so desired. On August 1 Cabezas sent a note to Clarence demanding nn immediate transfer of nil property. Clarence was not found for some horns , nnd when ho- received the note he asked for twenly-four hours in order to lay the matter before the provisional council. The delay was granted and up to the time the ship left the answer had not yet been given. I'KKUICT.S OHKAT niexlcnnn lludly Frlclilnnod by n Prophecy of hi-nor CoiltriTiiH. CITY OF MEXICO , Aug. 9.

Hague , Kearney ; S. A. Scarl , Nuckolls ; S. II. Razee , ' Frontier. They reported the following resolutions , which were adopted : PLATFORM AS ADOPTED. "We. the republicans of the Fifth con gressional district of Nebraska , In conven tion assembled , icafllrm the icpubllcnn na tional platform of 1HD1 ! , and In harmony herewith make the following declarations : Loyalty and obedience to our national con stitution , as the sacred bond to nn Insepar able union , are the primary duties of Amer ican citizenship. The b.isls of our political system Is the right of the people to make nnd niter their constitutions of government , but the constitution which nt any time ex ists , till changed by nn explicit nnd authen tic net of the whole people , Is sacredly obligatory upon nil. While socialistic and anarchistic discontent may be a paradise for a demagogue , It Is deadly peril to a fiee government. We favor bimetallism , and consequently the coinage and use of both gold and silver as standard money. We heartily commend the steps formerly taken by the repub lican party to secure an International agree ment for the coinage of both metalH at a permanent ratio. In the absence of such an agreement , however , we favor the appli cation of the protective policy to foreign silver , as well as to othtr Imports , nnd de mand the Immediate coinage of the silver product of the mines of the fulled States. The object lesson presented within the last eighteen months demonstrates the wis dom of the protective policy of the repub lican party. Labor should always receive Its Just bhare of the wealth that It pro duces. Labor and capital should never en slave each other , but should work to gether on the ground of absolute Justice to each , and we look with favor upon the pilnclplc of arbitration as a Just means of peaceable settlement of their conflicts. We earnestly condemn that pension policy which seeks to suspend rather than aid deserving veterans of the late civil war. The government owes them pensions us a debt , not as a charity , nnd In the adminis tration of the pension department party prejudice should be supplanted by gen uine gratitude and true patriotism. We sympathize most sincerely with the people of this district nnd state In the fail ure of their crops , and we favor mich leg islation as will wisely anslst those who mny be In need because of nncli failure , and also assist In the discovery nnd pro motion of feasible modes of Irrigation. The delegation from Adams county pre sented an amendment to the resolution as follows , and moved Its adoption : We believe In bimetallism , the use of both gold nnd silver as money ; we believe In and favor the full and unlimited coinage of. both gold and silver , the product of the United States , nnd we favor the coinage of the gold nnd silver of other nations In our mints , with a tariff placed thereon equal to the difference between the bullion value of the same and the face when coined , so n to protect our own Industries , and we favor the coinage of silver as above set forth at the lutio of 1C to 1. This was followed by a warm discussion und much flow of oratory , but the amemK ment was lost. ANDREWS BY ACCLAMATION. The convention proceeded to ballot on can didates. Five counties were called when a motion was mads by a Webster county dele gate that the roll call bo suspended and W. E. Andrews be declared the unanimous nominee of the convention , which carried with a rush and W. E. Andrews was de clared the nominee of the convention. The chairman appolntsd McNInny of Web ster and Caldwell of Nuckols to escort Mr. Andrews to the stage , where he made one of his rousing , logical speeches , and .was en cored to the echo. McNInny was a candidate , but had no following outstdo of his own delegation. There was n full representation of all the counties In the district and the opera house was packed to overflowing and many had to be turned away. All delsgates speak very hopefully of the political situation through out the district and predict a republican victory all along the line. Jack MacColl , candidate for governor , was In attendance. He has many warm political and personal friends In the Big Fifth , and will probably get a largo majority of all the counties In the district. Cruzen of Frontier and Piper of Harlan were also In attendance looking after their political fences , both being candidates for secretary of state.

Tlie republican fac tion In this city known as the Brookfleld- Bllssor committee of thirty faatlon , was de clared by the state committee today to be the regular republican organization of this city. It was recommended that the commit tee of thirty have a new enrollment so all the republicans In the city might bo taken and that " consideration be shown" to the other "Platt-Mulholland" faction. This was the unanimous finding of the subcommittee appointed to consider the matter , and the state committee which met , accepted the re port after a session of only twenty minutes. Regarding the factional fight In Syracuse , It was decided on recommendation of the sub committee that both factions be recognized under caucuses until other methods should determine the standing of the factions. The decision Is regarded as u compromise of the local fight. Chairman Brookflcld , John Sablne Smith and others of the Bliss- Patterson leaders are not enthusiastic over the situation. A resolution was unanimously adopted re questing the republican members of the senate to use all possible efforts to defeat the enactment of the taVlff bill Into a law.

It hns been decided that state troops shall KO to South Omaha. Last night Captains Scharff of the Thurston Rifles and Mnlford of the Omaha Guards vvcro entered by Adjutant General GaKe to assemble their companies at Fourteenth and Farnam streets at 4 o'clock this morning , there to ta'ko n special motor train for South Omaha. Whether other companies of the state militia have been onlord out could not bo definitely ascertained , but It Is surmised that the Hides and Guards will be reinforced today If this Is found necessary. The Omaha Guards to the number of thirty slept at their armory on Capitol avenue last night and were not greatly sur prised when they were ordered out. For the past two or three weeks the Guards have been drilling night and morning and sleeping at the armory In order to prepare for the coming state encampment. When Adjutant General Gage Issued his orders to Captain Mulford to move It took only a very few moments to get the com pany together. The company's Catling Run was hauled down and each man carried forty rounds of ammunition. The Thurston Ulfles slept at the Coliseum , had a 3 o'clock breakfast at a down town restaurant and then marched to Fourteenth and Furnnin streets , where both companies took a train for South Omaha. Camp equipage - ago will be sent down today If required. The two companies comprised about 100 men. A meeting of the Live Stock exchange of South Omaha was held late yesterday utter- noon to take some action In regard to the strike of thu packing house employes. Presi dent Parkhurst was In the chair. It was stated that there wcro plenty of men who were willing to work and wanted to work If they could have protection. The members of the exchange expressed themselves as of the opinion that the mayor of South Omaha and the sheriff of Douglas county were not doing their duty. They claimed that the strike had not only demoralised business at South Omaha , but had depressed the market on cattle and hogs , causing farmers and stockmen of Nebraska heavy losses at a time when they needed good prices to help make up for the damage to the corn crop. Messrs. Mcl'herson , Wag goner , Hurke , Campbell and Martin were op- po nted to draft resolutions- be addressed to the governor. APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR. They submitted the following , which was unanimously adopted : Whoreiis , A condition of lawlessness and riot exists nt South Omaha , endangering life and property ; und Whereas , The mayor of South Omnlia has shited his Inability to protect life and property with the men nt Ills command ; nnd Wlierctip , The sheriff pf Douglas county has refused to furnish HUlficlent protec tion In response to 'earnest appeals for Whereas , By rafpon of this 66ndltlon tlic wheels of. tinde are Impeded , the South Omaha market demoralized , nnd the entire business bf this , the third packing center of the world , Is threatened ; now , therefore , Uesolvcd , That we , as citizens of Ne braska nnd members of the Live Stock Kx- chniiRC of South Omaha , bulng familiar with the situation , und fully realizing what Is required , do earnestly urge nnd request Immediate nnd adequate protection from your excellency for our poisons and prop erty ; and we respectfully submit that prompt action Is Imperative , as the rioters Increase dally , and the fair name of this great state Is In jeopardy nnd the South Omaha , market demoralized. Messrs. Waggoner , Martin , Durkc , Spelts and McPherson were appointed as a commit tee to present the resolutions to Lieutenant Governor Majors. "Give us the assurance of the protection we ask for or we shall close our houses to morrow morning. " That was the ultimatum given by the packers to Acting Governor Majors at a conference at the Mlllard hotel last evening. The packers were represented by E. A. Cudahy , A. C. Foster of Swift & Co. , Manager Tallaferro of the Omaha Packing company and General Cowln. They asserted that as far as they were concerned matters had come to a show down. They would make no further effort to run their plants unless they were assured of Immediate pro tection , and tliey were agreed that the only protection that could protect lay In the calling out of the mllltla. The acting governor and Adjutant General Gage were kept busy all the evening hear ing from olllclals and citizens In regard tu calling out the state troops. Soon after n o'clock the committee from the South Omaha Live Stock exchange presented the rosolu- tlons mentioned. The men represented that their business and property were In serious danger , and In effect urged the governor to call out the militia Immediately. Mr. Majors discussed the situation with them for a short time , but gave them no assurance of Btato protection. Early In the evening Mayor Johnston ar rived and again urged upon the governor the necessity of calling out the soldiers. Ho said that the deputy sheriffs sent down dur ing the day by Sheriff Drcxcl had been en tirely useless. The mob had simply hooted them and seemed to have no respect what ever for them. The situation was con tinually growing more serious , and he em phatically stated his opinion that It was tl.iie for more decided action. The packers added their persuasions to these of the mayor , and a messenger was sent for the sheriff , as the governor did not wish to take any action before consulting him. The sheriff was closeted with the governor and the adjutant general for nearly an hour , after which the party hurriedly left the hotel and took a hack to the Webster street depot , where Mr. Majors took the 9:30 : train for Auburn. At this time It was stated that no decision had been arrived at , but that the matter had been left with the adjutant general. The remainder of the party returned to the hotel , where General Gage remained In con sul atlon with the sheriff for another hour. Sheriff Drexel was unwilling to consent to the use of the mllltla. Ho said that as far as ho could see most of the trouble was due to the curious spectators who crowded around the scene of any disturbance , and added to the disorder. He would send down more deputies this morning , but still held to hhi determination not to ask the gov ernor for asslstnce. MILITIA WILL GO. At 10:30 : , when this conference ended , Ad jutant General Gage announced that the militia would be employed. By 7 o'clock yesterday morning more than 100 men appeared at the office of the sheriff In the court house , seeking appointment as deputy sheriffs. Sheriff Drcxel spent the forenoon at South Omaha , and the deputies were not appointed until afternoon , when about 100 men were sent down. All efforts on the part cf the committee of citizens appointed by Mayor Johnston to get some concessions from the strikers have failed. The men who are out say that they have no further propositions to make to the packers , but If the packers have any propo sitions to make to them they are ready to entertain them. The fact Is that the union butchers are as firm In their demands as they were the day they wenl out , Many of the other employes have weakened and would go to work If they weru not ufrald of violence. Thomas Flood , secretary of the executive commllteu of the strikers , wishes It contra dicted that he has resinned bin petition and gone to work. It wan Halph Carter , secre tary of the beef butchers union , who went back to work. Mr. Flood says he Is out to stay until the men win what they have asked for. "Tho men are still confident of victory , " Bald Mr. Flood. l'Wc have not asked for anything unreasonable and we believe that wo will win. " The packers did very little at their houses yesterday. At Cudahy's n few cattle were killed and In the hog department nothing was done except the cutting up of Wednes day's killing. At the Omaha , Hammond's and Swift's It was about the same-way. DEPUTIES DID LITTLE GOOD. The scenes on the streets of South Omaha for an hour or two were disorderly. All day long It was quiet and only n few of the men who arc out could bo seen. The deputy sheriffs began lo arrive about C > o'clock. One gang camp down on n special tra'n. They were marched a short ills- tancc from the end of thi car line and lined up. Here the men were divided up Into sections. Aomc were sent lo the Third ward , some to the Fourth , and when the others arrived on thu cars they were stationed along on N street. As LOOM as the men began to come from work tlu < dtsUirl.inco began. Ten members of the butchers' union re mained on N street and did their best to prevent any demonstration , but It was Im possible. Cries of "scabs" and other names were shouted and n number of collisions took place. Tin- South Omaha police did cfltclcnt service , but the deputies were In active. They were hooted and Joked and did not accomplish much. About 5:30 : a gang of about fifteen colored men came down Twenty-sixth street from Swifts. As soon as they were recognized the strikers began to run after them and cry out "scabs. " Mr. May , one of the of fice men , was with them. The colored men stood the racket until the- were about to turn Into N street , when they concluded that things were getting most too warm. They then drew their revolvers and po'.nt- ing them toward the strikers declared that they woul shoot If It was necessary. The most of them not only carried revolvers but also showed knives and razors. Captain Connell of the police ordered that they put their weapons out of sight and they did so. A striker who gave the name of Chandler began to abuse the captain , calling him a scab and accusing him of protecting the scabs. The fellow was placed -under ar rest und he resisted. The captain drew his club and was about to use It on Chandler when Chief Hrennan arrived and the man was taken to the station and locked up with out being Injured. The colored men then marched on to Twenty-fourth nnd N streets , where they boarded a motor for Omaha. One man who Is employed as a special watchman at the stock yards was assaulted by men supposed to be strikers. Ho was knocked on the head and painfully Injured. The South Omaha police escorted the man to the police station and from there he went to the yards to attend to his duties for the night. A few arrests were made , but all of them were made by the South Omaha police. SENTENCED TO JAIL. The men who were arrested Wednesday evening fcr Interfering with the police and for creating a d sturbance were taken before Judge Chrlstmann yesterday and sen tenced. Mike Lorag was sentenced to forty days In the county Jail , with the first and last ten on bread and water. Steve Couchue got thirty days with the first ten and last flve on bread and water , and Joe Damond got ten days with the first and last two days on bread and water. A warrant was Issued for the arrest of Jerry O'Honlon , who Is accused of assaulting J. M. Raymond , an engineer at Cudahy's. This assault was com mitted on lower N street , when Raymond was on his way to work. Charles Lund , a man employed at Ham mond's , met with a sensational exi > erlence yesterday. He lives at Twenty-fifth and L streets , and was on his way to work. Lund Is an old man , and his daughter always accompanies him to the 'packing house for fear he will bo run over by the cars. When the couple reached the railroad at the foot of N street and were about to cross , some one cried to look out for an approaching Rock Ibland engine. Lund thought It was a striker that was yelling at him , and he started to run. His daughter caught hold of his coat to pull him hick. Lund sup posed It was an enemy who had hold of him , and he made a spring and landed In front of the passing engine. He had passed far enough so the engine throw him to one side. When picked up , the man was Insensible , but after a careful examination It was found that his Injuries were not necessarily fatal. His face Is badly gashed , the right wrist thrown out of place , one elbow cut nnd a big gash In the right thigh. He was removed to Dr. Solomon's office , where his wounds were dressed. The man will recover. 1'OVGllT t'Oll Ji-ltKM ft . Milwaukee Cltlrpim Undertake a MnfwMoct- liiK Agulii't tlin Major' * Orders. MILWAUKEE , Aug. 9.

( Special Tele gram to The Bee. ) Train No. S on the Rock Island , consisting of an engine , n combina tion baggage and express car and oio coach , plunged over n fifty-foot trestle over the tracks of the Union Pacific and B. & M. . about five miles south of the city , nt 10 o'clock last evening , und was smashed to atoms. All the members of the crow except ono were killed nnd ten or twelve passengers are supposed to be burled beneath the mass ot glowing coals and red hot Iron , which Is all that IB left of both train and trestle. There Is no possible way at this hour of ascertaining the names of thoss In the ruins. The trainmen killed are : C. D. STANDARD , conductor , St. Joseph. IKE DEPEW , engineer , Council Bluffs. WILLIAM CRAIG , fireman , Falrbury. Colonel Bills of the Second regiment , N. N. G. , was one of the passengers , but es caped uninjured. Henry C. Foot of Council Bluffs , the broko- man , was the only ono of the crow who es caped. His story nnd that of the others who survived Indicates that the wreck was due to the work of train wreckero , and Walter Seldell , who lives near the crossing nnd was the first one on the scene , state * that a fishplate and the bar with which It had been wrenched loose were found near the trestle after the wreck occurred. No. 8 was due In Lincoln at 10:10 : and wan pounding along at a lively gait when the trestla was reached. There were about fif teen passengers In the chair car , all of whom were got out moro or loss Injured. SMASHED IN THE SMOKER. In the smoker there wcro ten or twelve , nnd It Is not thought a single ono escaped. When the engine struck the broken rail she Jumped the track , and hounding along over the ties for 100 feet , reeled to one side and plunged down on the Union Pacific tracks below , followed by the other three cars. The brukcman tells a thrilling story of the wreck. Ho says that he was sitting on the * last seat of the last car when ho felt It going ; and sprang up Just as the car toppled over. He got out all right and calling to Colonel Bills to assl&t htm got nil the passengers In the chair car out. , "Then , " said he , "I knew the trouble waa In the smoker , and rushed forward to ECO what I could do. It , was a sickening' sight. The car was a shapeless mass of broken pieces and wreckage nnd I could see the crushed nnd mangled bodies of the pusscn- gcrs Inside. By this time help had arrived and we got out the baggageman and mall man. The baggageman was terribly Injured nnd his recovery Is doubt ful. " When found ho was squeezed In be tween some broken timbers nnd begging ; plteosuly for some one to save him from the fiamcs , which were rapidly eating their way toward him. His rescuers worked frantically with saws and axes , while the hot breath of the approaching flames scorched Ihelr hands and faces. When released the flames were within eighteen Inches of the man's head. The engineer und flremnn wcro found crushed under the engine , which was turned upsldo down. In the middle ot the excitement the brako- mnn had presence of mind enough to send men out to flag a freight following on the Rock Island nnd nnothcr approaching on the B. & M. He also sent lo the penitentiary for assistance nnd from thcro the fire department was notified. FIREMEN WERE USELESS. The chemical was Boon on the ground , but could do very little , nnd every stick of both trnln and bridge was soon reduced to a heap of Einoklng ruins , The trestle where the wreck occurred Is about two miles south of the penitentiary or five miles from the city.
