RUMOR OF A RESPITE.
WASHINGTON , April 20. It was report
hero that England had granted Nlcarag
a twenty-four hour respite , but later ndvlc
received here Intimate that the British ha
already occupied Corlnto.
Dr. Guzman , Nlcaraguan minister , had n
been advised up to noon of Nicaragua's fln
determination. Ho saw Secretary Gresha
at 11 o'clock , but It Is said that nothing w
developed beyond what Is already know
Some recent statements Imvo appeared Im

adopting energetic steps In her behalf. I
Guzman wishes It clearly understood , ho1

him as her representative , to criticize In ai
way the kindly disposition of this count
and as a matter of fact , the minister fei
gratified at the consideration which has be
shown him and his government at a tit
of grave emergency.
An explanation of the refusal of the a

Ambassador Bayard nt London Is well

that ho will not tolerate the occupation

evident policy of the premier and of the
present government to shelve home rule , and
eventually ho decided to sever his connectior
with the antl-Parnelllte party. On April (
last ho Issued an address to the electors ol
East Wlcklow giving his reasons for leavlnp
the McCarthylto party , and saying that In

He classed the Irish policy of the premlei

added : "I will be no party to It. If tin

The Shanghai correspondent of the Tin

A Peking dispatch to the Times says tl
It Is the cession of southern Manchuria ,
provided for In the Irealy of peace Ihat
chiefly opposed In the Chinese capital. 1
agreement to this end made by LI lit
Chang espscially grieves the emperor , becai
the province of Manchuria Is Ihe ancesl

other articles of the treaty are regarded
bearable. Several governors and generals

WINNIPEG , Man. , April l r-Tho Free
Press opens an article on the , possible dis
missal ot the local government by saying :
"Tho Grecnway government may bo out ot
office a week hence. Some days ago Informa
tion was received hero from Ottawa to the
effect that Lieutenant Gotcrnor Schulti waa
negotiating with the federal ministers for a
second term ot office , and In this connec
tion It was Intimated that his honor com
plained that Attorney General Slfton had
broken faith with him by taking part In the
election contest In Haldlmandj and that he
was ready to go to the extreme ot dismissIng -
Ing the entire government.
"Thla Information was partially confirmed
yesterday by remarks- made by conservatlvt
leaders In this city. Three ot the provlncla
ministers , being questioned regarding the re
ports , declined to make any definite state ,
ment , but It was Inferred from their re
marks that they had been made acquainted
with what has been transpiring at Ottawc
and nro anticipating some desperate act or
the part of Premier Bowell and his col
leagues.
"A prominent politician who Is In the con
fid en co of the local government said he wai
positive that Premier Grcenway's ministry
would be dismissed bcforo the time for tin
reassembling of the legislature next month
In fact , he looked for such an announcemcn
before the end of next week.
" 'On what grounds could ministers bo dls
mlsscHl ? ' was asked.
" 'Technically , the excuse would be tha
the attorney general broke faith with th
government by going to Haldlman and dls
cussing the remedial order whllo the orde
was under consideration by the government
pending an answer. But the real objec
would bo to throw this school question ou
of Dominion politics until after the genera
election. '
" 'Hpw could that be done when the gov
eminent has such a large majority In th
house behind It ? '
" 'Tho government can.call In any outsld
man , say , for Instance , Mr. Rogers , Mi
Scarth or Mr. Macdonald ot Brandon , an
ask him to form a ministry. A cablnc
might be formed by mcrinwho are not members
bors of the house , and they could have con
trol of the situation urill { after the clet
tlons. '
" 'Would the present 'ministers be dc
prlvcd of their seats under the clrcuir
stances ? '
" 'No ; they would still hold their seats I
the house , but they wouli ) bo helpless to ac
ono way or the other , excepting to proven
the new government from parsing leglslatlo
something not likely to , be attempted. '
" 'But at the next election Premier Grcer
way would be again returned stronger tha
ever. '
" 'Of course he would , but In the meat
tlmo the school question which Premier Bov
ell has evidently discovered to be a troubh
some anas , would bo taken from the aren
of Dominion politics until after the Domli
Ion elections. I am convinced that wo ai

DES M01NES , la. , April 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Iowa State League of Republics !
clubs met here today and was largely at
tended by leading republicans from all part !
of the state. There were old war horse re
publicans In attendance , and the spruce , con
fldent , younger clement swelled the ranks ti
several hundred. Local committees Iron
the Tlppccanoe and Grant clubs were kcp
busy all forenoon escorting arrivals from de
pots to the Savery house and the Grant clul
rooms , both places being headquarters. Then
was no attempt at display In the way of i
parade , the main efforts being confined ti
the proper reception of strangers. At ;
o'clock this afternoon the Grant club room
wore crowded. Numerous flags , banners , festoons
teens ot bunting , portraits of Grant , Lincoln
Garficld , Harrison , McKlnlcy and Blaincwer
noticed In the room , making a very prctt ;
display.
The cxcrclsca were opened by an tddres
of welcome by C. C. Dowcll of DCS Molncs
with a response by George B. Stewart o
Fort Madison. F. R. Conaway , the leagu
president , then delivered his address. Afte
discussing the objects of the club organlza
tlon and the means for keeping It up an
accomplishing the greatest good , he said h
did not think the league should boom candl
dates for certain positions. "But , " ho addei !
significantly , "when It cornea to a local presl
dcntlal candidate , I firmly believe It Is th
province of the state league to do what I
can In an Individual way toward asslstln
In the nomination. " Ho regarded the defea
at Denver as only a test of Iowa rcpubllca
loyalty. "What wo will be gunning for , " h
said , "will be large game. We will try b
personal contact , earnest , quiet work and a
unselfish devotion to the principles of th
party to Impress upon the representative
from all states that In Iowa we have a ma
who for statesmanship , uprightness of chai
acter and availability towers above them a
In fitness for the office of president of tli
United States , our own Senator Allison. The
will ask that Iowa , which la always liber ;
with her republican majorities and her can
palgn funds , even doing more than her shai
In both , be considered a factor In the m
tlonal republican convention which meet
next year. Not because of location , but hi
cause of fitness for the place.
"Iowa should send a delegation of workoi
to Cleveland who will use their Influence t
promote the Interests of William B. Alllsoi
Sur.ely no one can question the wisdom i
this move of the state league If It la done I
an Individual way. There la no conflict wha
ever In this state , no dissenters on that que
tlon , for every Iowa republican la solid !
and enthusiastically In favor of the Io\\
statesman. He outranks them all. "

It la said that when a newsboy went alon
side he was not allowed on board , and the c
ecutlve olficers said If the men wanted som
thing to read let them look at each othci

Complaint was made to Captain Reed wl
a request for spuds ( potatoes ) and he aske
"What does Lieutenant Sturday say ? "
"He says wo can't have any , sir. "
"Well , if Lieutenant Sturday says no spue
you can't have any. "
The death of Coxswain John Johnson of t
,
cruiser Olympla on Wednesday morning w
not caused by the blowing out of the brca
plug of the six-Inch rifle , aa at first report !
but by the recoil of the rifle Itself , whl
struck the coxswain full In the face. T
accident was said by Johnson's comrades
be wholly Inexcusable , and they laid t
blame on the ordnance Inspector at Mil
Island , who was supposed to have gone ov
the guns and attended to them. The t
guns are so mounted that the recoil Is tak
up by a mechanism similar to a cylinder a
piston rod , the material Inside the cyllnil
being glycerine , which as the gun recoils
forced past the piston Into the other chai
ber of the cylinder , taking up the force of t
recoil by Its slow action. After the acclde
the gun was examined and It was found tl
Instead of several gallons of glycerine In t
cylinder , as there should have been , th (
was hardly a drop. The gun recoiled cle
back to the bulkheads and tore up the de
considerably.
The cruiser Olympla sails for San Frt
Cisco today. It was understood that t
Olympla was to have sailed south to Corln
but owing to dissensions among the crew It
said that Captain Reed requested to be i
dered back to Mare Island , where an Inves
gallon and courtmartlal can be held. T
crew Is deserting at every opportunity a
alleges 111 treatment by the first lleuteni
and poor food are the causes. Seventy m
were ordered ashore In charge cf officers

SAN FRANCISCO , April 20. During the
early days of Durrani's trial an attempt was
made by the defendant's counsel to cast sus
picion upon Rev. George Gibson , pastor of
Emanucl church , Durrani's attorneys have
so far failed In developing any tangible evi
dence connecting the minister with the trag
edies. Today Elmer A. Wolfe , a witness of
the prosecution , who corroborated previous
testimony concerning Durrani's tardiness and
disheveled appearance at the Christian En
deavor meeting of Good Friday evening , was
cross-examined by the defendant's attorney ,
who endeavored to show that n similarity be
tween the respective hats and overcoats of
Wolfe and Durrani and Iho resemblance In
stature had led to Durrani's mistaken Identi
fication by persons who had really seen
Wolfe. Ho accounted for his movementa
from noon of Friday until 2 o'clock ne.xt
morning.
George R. King , the organist , testified thai
he had no key lo the Bide door ot the church ,
although Durrani had , but both had keys lethe
the library. King said he had done consider
able work about the church , but had used
tools belonging to Pastor Gibson.
Dr. J. L. Barret , who performed the
autopsy , was then called , the prosecuting
attorney suggesting that the largo number ol
ladles present should withdraw.
Chief of Police Crowlcy says that In the
Lament case the pollco will present an
even stronger chain of circumstantial evi
dence against Durrani than In the present
case. He says the case Is perfect , and II
Durrani Is Innocent his position Is unfor
tunate.
SAN DIEGO , April 2C. James Smith , a
tramp , who has been working on a ranch one
mile from Delmar , a small town near this
city , was shot and Instantly killed by Con
stable John Bludworth while resisting arrest ,
Smith came to the ranch ot Hugh A.
Frazer aboul a mouth ago and was given
work. The farmer and hla wife , an elderly
couple , resided on the ranch alone. Yester
day afternoon during the absence of Frazct
Smith went Into the house and made an
Improper proposal to Mrs. Frazer. When
ordered out of the house he assaulted Mrs
Frazer and attempted to attain his object bj
force. She fiercely resisted him , but her as ,
gallant was more powerful and In splto PI
her struggles and entreaties was about to nc
compllsh his purpose , when , as a last resort
In the hope thai her nssallanl would desist
she promised to submit to him at anothei
time. Smith then ceased his nefarious under
taking and returned to work. Mrs , Frazei
as soon as she saw her opportunity left tin
house and , running to Delmar , notified thi
authorities. Constable Bludworth and i
deputy went to the fArm and found him li
a stall In the barn , armed with a shotgun atv
dirk. He refused to burrender and rushei
to the attack with the knife. The constabh
fired and missed. As Smith made anothei
lunge with the knife the constable firei
again and Smith fell dead.
It Is said thai Smith Is slightly related ti
Durrani , the medical student ot San Fran
Cisco , who Is now undorpolnc prcllmlnar :
examination for the alleged murder of Marlai
Williams , and who Is also suspected of havlni
killed Blanche Lament In Emanuel Baptls
church In thai city , and he roscmblea Durran
In appearance. Smith has been reading nl
the newspaper accounts that ho could gc
hold of concerning the tragedy Involving hi
relative , and ho seemed to have been great ! ;
wrought up over the affair. He had become ;
crank on this subject.

LINCOLN , April 20. ( Special. ) Judges.
Dundy and Ulncr , sitting together , today re
fused to Issue a mandatory Injunction com
pelling the Flournoy Lund company , and all
others Interested In leasing \Vlnnebago In
dian reservation land , to vacate the prop
erties. Almost the entire day was taken up.
In presentation of arguments by the two-
sides to the suit. Several months ago an
order was Issued restraining the land com
pany from making any more leases. Thla
I Injunction was continued until such tlmo as
the case could bo heard on Its merits. Rep
resentatives of the Flournoy company said ,
after the decision of the court had boon ren-
ylored , that It was entirely tatlsfactory to.
kcni. They nu\v had all the leases they do-
ralri-d to handle and did not want any more.
But It la said that the ruling of the federal
court will not deter Agent Beck from pro
ceeding with the eviction of the tenants who
claim under the disputed leases.
Before Attorney Brcckliirldge , special
counsel for the government , began hla argu
ment , Attorney Brome , reprcsent'ng ' the land
ompany , said that ho was willing that th
Junctions be dissolved In the cases of the
'lournoy Land company against Beck , Carey
gainst Beck and Hull & Co. against Beck ,
"ut ho did not want them to come up at
Ills tlmo for a llnal hearing.
BUECKlNRlDttE OPENS.
Brecklnrldgo prefaced hla argument with .
Istory of reservation mutters slnco the
assagc of the Dawea bill In 1SS7. In 1SS&
peculators began operating In these lands
dlh Illcual leases and had continued to dee
o ever since. The Klournoy company had
cased 57,000 acres of land and sublet a largo
) ortlon. H had secured the land of the In-
lans for about 20 ccnta an aero and sublet
t for from $1.50 to $2. All these original
cases from the Indians were clearly Illegal
nd for years Indian agents had attempted to
ireak up the nystam. The predecessor of
Captain Beck had not been a practical busl-
icss man and had fulled. In the llvo In
unction cases brought the same questions
vcre raised. At this point a question of
ulsjolnder was ralfccd by Judge Dundy. Tim
iirt Inquired how 250 people , sublessees
rom the companies , could bo equally In-
.erested and equally Jollied. Brecklnrldgo
ead law from decisions by Justice Harlan
nd Judges Caldwell , Saiiborn and Sawyer ,
lo said that the government preferred to
rocccd by civil process instead of employing ,
he military force at , Its command. All the
government wanted to do waa to enforce coJ-
"octlon of a fair lease and got rid of the
speculators. The Indiana were to bo per
mitted to lease the lands In accordance with
ho established rules of the department aV
iVashlngton.
"Who put the Improvements on the land ? "
nqulrcil Judge Dundy.
"The setliers , " replied Brecklnrldgc.
"Do you want them put off ? "
"H Is not the government's Intention to put
hem off. "
"Why do you ask a mandatory Injunction
o put them off ? "
DROME'S BRIEF REPLY.
BreckinriJge replied to the effect that the
government's only resource In protecting the
Indians was possession of the right to man
age affairs on the reservation. No hardship
tvaa Intended toward any of the settlers. The
' lournoy company held notes due In the fall
rom settlerH. They were even now threaten-
ng suit on them. But in the body of the
[ irlnled leases iimlcr which the settlers held
he land It was Incorporated that the notea
ivere void If the government dispossessed
them of their leaseholds. These people , In
eallty , had gone on the land In contempt ot
he policy of the government. If put to the
expense of litigating each Beparato case It
would cost the government over $20.000.
In his reply Attorney Brome , for the land
company , said that tlu'so sultH were brought
by the United States and they Involved the
rlghta of 250 settlers. Slnco 1888 lands had
been leased from the Indians , and now a
mandatory Injunction was asked for. Ho
averred that a portion of the allegations of
the government's bill was not true. Many
of these lessors of reservation lands held
patents direct from the government. And
yet they were all Joined in the suits. In hla
opinion no such community of Interest cx-
sted as was Implied In the government's
bill , and the government had no right to
combine them , and the court no Jurisdiction.
District Attorney Sawyer contended In his
argument that the land company and Its
lessees were trespassers. Judge Rlner. In
terposed an objection to this line of argu
ment that all the evidence bcforo the court
was ex parte. Sawyer replied that the evi
dence had ben argued upon by both parties
to the suit and Brome admitted the state
ment.
"Mr. Sawyer , " said Judge Dundy , "do you
expect when you cite a party to answer hero ,
say by the first Monday In May , that he shall
do so before ho has been given time to fllo
his answer ? "
"Yes , wo should expect that he would havs
time by the termination of that period. "
Replying to further aigumcnt by Breck-
Inrldge , Judge Rlner reverted to a former
question and again demanded to know If the
Issuance of H mandatory writ would not dis
possess the present settlers.
Brecklnrldgo admitted that It would If tha
government should take advantage of Its
power , but ho did not think It would do
so. The cases are now left , practically , where
they were before presentation to the federal
court at this term.
