MANAGUA , Nicaragua , May B. ( Via Galveston -
veston ) The Nlcaraguan government having
through the Salvadorean minister at London
accepted the modified ultimatum of the Brit
ish government the dispute between the two
countries Is practically at an end.
As stated exclusively In the Associated
press dUpitches yesterday , orders were cabled
to Rear Admiral Stephenson , directing him to
evacuate the port to lay. The warships pre-
ccnted a scene of orderly bustle this morning ,
giving evidence that something out of the
usual course vvas going on. Boats passed
frequently between the shorea and the ves
sels , the little midshipmen In charge wearing
an air of greater Importance than usual. They
were evidently bearers of communications to
Captain Trench of the Hcyal Arthur , who ,
upon the secure of Corlnto , had been ap
pointed by Admiral Stephenson governor of
the port.
The force originally landed by the British
to hold the place vvas 400 blue Jackets and
marines , but on Friday when It became
known the tension had become relaxed , all of
them with the exception of fiftj-elght marines
and their officers wcro withdrawn. Shortly
after the llcg denoting that religious services
wcro In progress on board the warships was
hauled down , the marines , who had been
drawn up In front nf the customs house , were
ordered to return to their ships. A few min
utes later the British flag was hauled down
from the government building , and soon the
soil of Nicaragua was rid eif the British In
vaders and the long strokes of the sailors
were sweeping the heavy boats to the war
ships lying In the harbor.
Hundreds ot persons had assembled along
the shcrc to sec the- embarkation of the ma
rlnew , and a cheer went up as the noses ol
the boats headed harborward.
DELAYED BY THE TIDE.
The warships were soon riding at short
cables , but their departure % as delayed by
the tide , which did not servo until the after
noon. It vvas expected the flagship vvoulc
depart will , the other two vessels of the
fleet , but when tlio water was high enough
on the bar to permit of the passage of the
vessels , only the Wild Swan and the Satellite
got under way , and with the rc-d ensign of
Britain unapjMng In the breeze stood out to
sea. The flagship , Royal Arthur , paid out her
cable again , and this fact was believed to
confirm a report that she would salute the
F Nlcaraguan flag when the government repos
sessed Itself of the port.
As has been stated in these dispatches
Nicaragua has agreed to pay the $77BOO de
manded by Great Britain for the expulsion of
rx-Consul Hatch , and for other alleged ilinv
ages to British subjects arising from the recent <
cent troubles in the Mosquito reservation , bu
Instead ol paying the money a
the canonV mouth , as the Drills ]
government oilglnally demanded should b
done , she- will pay It In London fifteen days
after the last vessel of the British flcpt with
draws from Corlnto. TMUIG are other ques
ttons of damages to British subjects to bo
settled , but Nicaragua believes that , If thcs
questions arc submitted to an Impartial trl
bunal the Judgment will be rendered In he
favor.
INFLUENCE OF BRITISH GOLD. -
Well authenticated reports have reachci
here that Chief Clarence , the deposed chief
of the Mosquito reserve , who Is now In
Kingston , Jamaica , Is the recipient of G per
day from the British government , and the'e
reports do not tend to allay the popular ani
mosity against Great Britain , It being held
that she would not take bitch an Interest In
Clarence If she did not have an ulterior In
tercut in him It Is broadly stated that
Great Britain Intended to restcre him to
his chieftainship , but to do so now she would
have to despoil Nlcnrnpua of the territory
formerly ruled by him , which vvas n few days
ago Incorporated as a state and named
Zclaya , In honor of the president of Nica
ragua
In well Informed circles It Is not blieved
that Great Britain will ever attempt to re
store durance under the present status ,
since should she endeavor to do so now the
United States , would lnt / " > cre In what would
practically amount to a eolifiEJatipn of terri
tory.
tory.There
There Is much doubt an to what the e\act
attitude of the government of Washington
has been during the whole of the dispute ,
Many conflicting statements are made , some
of which are to the effect that the United
States , If her government protested at all
against the occupitlon of Nlcaraguan terri
tory , did so In a perfunctory manner ,
while , on the other hand. It Is claimed that
It vvas through thrtr efforts and In a meas
ure under their efforts that Scnor Medina ,
the Salvadorean minister at London , took
such a successful part In the negotiations
that led to the acceptance by the earl of
Klmbcrley , the British foreign secretary , of
the prop-sal that the smart money be paid
In London Instead of to Admiral Stephenson | j
nt Corluto.
PROBABLE RESULT OF THE AFFAIR.
T fc ration of Salvador In guaranteeing the
payment of the Indemnity , as In fact her
course throughout the whole dispute , is
very favorably commented on In official
circles , and It Is believed an entente will lj >
established that will lead to results beneficial
to both countries It would not be at all
surprising If this trouble with Great Britain
should result In the formation of an alliance
of Central American states for defensive pur
poses. There Is no denying the attitude of
Great Britain In her ttc.itmcnt ot Nicaragua
and In her dealings with other small powers
has caused an awakening among the Central
American republics to the danger to which
they are exposed from British aggression.
Thcro s a strong belief here that Great Brit
ain will never submit any question that may
arise between herself anJ the Central Ameri
can republics , but she will herself sit In
Judgment on the question and then proceed
by force of arms to enforce her own decree.
Not for years has there been such unanimity
of opinion anit. ' ' , the Spanish-American re
publics , and the situation may bo best
summed up by comparing It to the flurry
among a group of chickens when a hawk
dashes down among them and depletes the
flrck. Great Britain has successfully played
the role of a hawk , and the Hurry caused by
her actions show no sign ot subsidence. The '
governments of all the Central American
states , and those cf several ot the South
American countries , have telegraphed tc 1
President Zlaya suggesting the formation o :
a commercial union again.U the productions
of Great Britain , and aUo against the trans
portation 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 traJe , and event
ually the British government would ( lid Its (
treatment of Nicaragua bM cost IJ a sura ,
of money far in excess of tlie smart money !
which she demanded from Nicaragua.

HONGKONG , May B. The situation In the
Island of Formosa Is serious , and fears arc
entertained for the lives of foreigners there.
The British and German marines have been
landed at Anplng , on the southwest coast , to
protect the foreign residents at Taku harbor
The coast touth of Anplng Is bjlng patrolled
by blue Jackets In armed launches. The
Hack Flags are mostly unruly. The Black
'lags arc the Irregular forces. They are not
n China's pay , though sometimes she has a
Ittlc authority over them.
Warfare Is their profession , and they de-
icnd upon it for bread , and they raid natives
and foreigners Indiscriminately. They have
no law but the command ? , of their leaders
They are much bolder and more warlike
than the average Chinaman , and have little
fear of death. The French were greatly
troubled by them In Tonquln. U Is said If
the Chinese can turn the Black Flags upon
any specially hated enemy they consider It
a great stroke of enterprise. It Is also said
that when the French , during the Tonquln
campaign , sent an olflcer to Tien Tsln to com
plain to Viceroy LI Hung Chang against the
outrages of the Black Flags and to demand
that he secure their punishment , the viceroy
laid he had no more control over them than
the French had , they were robber scamps ,
and China disavowed them.
LONDON , May B The Times has dis
patches from Peking saying that the fact
that the emrcror has ratified the treaty of
peace with Japan Is known to only n few
Chinese. No edict In regard to the matter
has been Issued. Prince Kung , president of
the Tsung LI Yamen , urged the emperor to
ratify the treaty. A Hong Kong dispatch
to the Times states that the governor of
Formosa says that Its ce'slon to the Japanese
will produce a rebellion. He declares that
he has lost all control of the soldiers and
that foreigners must save themselves The
leader of the Black Flags has appealed to his
men to carry out his original orJcrs to
prevent the Japanese from landing on the
Island. Placards written by the Lietratl
have been posted in conspicuous places and
circulated among the people , calling upen
them to reslPt the Japanese and saying that
If the Island Is to bo ceded to an > nation
they prefer It should be given to Great
Btltaln.
A dispatch to the Times from Paris says
the Temps has a telegram from St Peters
burg stating that Japan has replied to the
friendly protest of Rusbla , Franco and Ger
many. Japan agrees to renounce * possession
of the Llao Tung peninsula , but sa > a she
will retain Pert Arthur. This compromise
leaves Intact all the dangers that the powers
wished to avoid. Fresh representations have
been made to Japan , and the negotiations
are actively proceeding.
A Berlin dispatch to the Times says thai
nothing has occurred to diminish the hope
of an amicable settlement of the trouble
In connection with the Japanese-Chinese
treaty , though It would bo difficult to say
upon what basis It will be. It Is probable
tlMt the compensation to the Japanese for
foiegolng possession of the Llao Tung penin
sula will be the payment by China of an
Increased Indemnity
LONDON , May B. A dispatch to the
Standard from Berlin , says that the details
of the negotiations between the powers in
connection with Japan Is secret , but It Is
known Russia will be satisfied If she gets
a slice of Manchuria containing a harbor
that Is tree of Ice. Should the Japanese war
party persist In opposing all alteration In
the treaty of peace Count Ito will probably bi

MADRID , May B General Calleja , for
merly captain general of Cuba , has arrived
here from Havana. In an Interview ho stated
that ho was aware of the beginning of the
uprising In Cuba and was Informed as to the
movements of the filibusters In the United
States and the separatists In Cuba. He was ,
however , powerless to prevent the uprising in
the eastern end of the Island , owing to the
want of orgmlzed troops and the scarcity of
war material. He had only 9000 soldiers
and 4"UO raw recruits , a force that was not
adequate to garrison the towns , let alone to
take the field against the rebels. Though he
was aware that filibustering expeditions
were being organized In Havtl , Tampa ,
Key West , Costa Rlci and elsewhere , he
had onlj seven Inferior gunboats to watch 400
leagues of coast line General Calleja added
thtt he believed Marsha ! de Campo < , his suc
cessor , would spe-edlly pacify the Island. The
poverty prevailing In Cuba , ho declared , had
forced man } starving men to join the rebels.

ST. PAUL , May B. A Rolla , N. D. , special
to the Pioneer-Press says : The halt breed
uprising has been squelched , and without
oss of life. Marshals came here Saturday
night from St , Johns In consequence of In-
'ormatlon received that an attempt might
3e made to rescue Lao Pella Langan , who
was arrested Saturday noon. Pickets were
left on duty all night , but no attempt was
made.
Deputies were astir soon after davbrcak
this morning , Marshal Cronan having decided
that further effort at Inducing peaceful cur-
render would be useless , determined that If
they would not surrender their fort at Lan
gan he would storm It. A posse left hero In
a wagon soon after 6 o'clock ami drove
sixteen mllss to the half breed fort. As It
was known thit the Indians had mounted
scouts watching the regular road , the olflcers
struck cast , coming in upon the Indltus at
to gather their men from the outlying dis
trict.
The half breed fort was reached at 0-30
o'clock , the wagons being left half a mlle
In the rear , and the deputy marshals ad
vanced , spreading out so as to command the
north and west sides , those bo'ng oasltH of
acce s. Spades had been brought , and tl.e
marshals began preparing shallow ride p.ts.
Marshal Cronan and Indian Agent Hall , hav
ing their rifles behind , walked up to the
fort , the deputies keeping a sharp lioknut
for any hostile moxement The half brteds
refused to talk wl'h ' Cronan , but told Hall
they wanted still further time to hear from
Washington , Cronan told them to make up
their minds quick , as he meant to attack
them at once.
READY FOR THE ATTACK.
By 10 30 o'clock Marshall Croiun was
ready to begin , when the half breeds sent
out a message that they wanted to se ; him.
He returned word that ' .npy could
send out one of the chiefs , and they
sent Cha&scur Leportreau , who was chief In
the raid on St. John's hardware store on
Thursday night , when they stole all the
guns and ammunition Lcpartreau wanted
time to hear from Washington , but was told
that It was too late. Then he offered to
surrender the men for whom warrants were
out , except Red Thunder , but Marshal Cronan
told him that he would gl\e them no condi
tions. They must surrender absolutely and
gl\e up all arms and ammunition , and he
would arrest all he wanted If they did not
llko these terms , the marshals had come
there to fight and were ready. All t'lls ' tlm *
the deputies had been working nearer &nd
nearer , and now had a temporary cover pro
vided within a hundred and nfty yards , at
which distance the rifle bullets would easily
rlddlo the logs. Soon after 11 o'clock the
half breeds surrendered unconditionally ,
though Itwas nearly 2 o'clock before the
prisoners were loaded In wagons.
HAD HID THEIR RIFLES.
Fifty-four guns were found , most of their
rifles ha\lng been hidden , but they can be
found later. Each man was required to write
his : name upon his gun. Only those for whom
warrants were already out were taken to
town , tbe others being allowed to go for the
present. The Indians arrested are : Red
Thunder ! , Jo Langan , Jo Dcmarles , Charles
Chasseur ' Lapotreau , FrancoU Langan , Alex
Lcroquc and Daniel Short.
Red Thunder made a desperate resistance
when arrested , attacking Deputy Dagget with
ils knlfo. It took three men to hanJcuff him.
Ho is 87 jcars of ago , but Is almost crazy
and possesses maniacal strength. While nego
tiations were pending he had tried to kill
one of the half broods for fa\orlng surrender.
The prisoners weje brought to Rolla this
afternoon. The other half breeds were told
they could have their shotguns by applying
o the marshal and being Identified as the
nnn who. c name was marked on the gun ,
thus furnishing conclusive clence of their
lartlclpatlon In the outbreak. The Intention
is to charge all present with armed con
spiracy. About fifteen citizens of Holla and
St John brought arms an.l acted with the
marshals. Chief Little Shell was arrested on
the reservation and brought In tonight.
When returning to the agency after sur
render , Agent Hall met a band of ICO half-
breeds and Indians on the way to St. John
to reinforce the half-bresds at Langan , whom
a courier haJ notified them were being at
tacked by marshals. They were headed by
Llttlo Shell , the head chief of the rcsenatlon.
Agent Hill succeeded In rersuaJIng them to
return. Informing them the others had all
surrendered. Had they arrhed while the
attack was In progress It might have been
unpleasant for the marshals.

f his present series ot sermons on "Our
csurrcctlon In the Light ctfhe Resurrection
f Jesus. " During the course of his sermon
o safd : "If we real tbo qtory of the rcsur-
ectlon of Jesus Christ , wo shall sec In It a
ype ot every other resurrection that Is to
ollcnv. Wo arc constrained to think In some
way about the resurrection life , If wo arc to
elleve It at all. Such Ideas as we can form
ccm to bo modeled from the story of the
esurrectlon of Jesus. The life to come cannot
o a bodyless existence * Nature knows no
> odylc3s existence ; everything that lives
lothes Itself In some form or other , more or
ess fine matter composing these forms , but
matter of some sort or other Is clothing
vcrythlng living. We may be sure that the
lead , living still , live not merely In some
Ismeinbercd existence ; they have bodies of
lelr own , though our eye's may not ordinarily
ec them. That Is clear in the atory of the
Isen Jesus.
"Tho body that shall bo will not be some
holly new body , clso the continuity of life
111 bo broken. It Is an absolute necessity that
n the life beyond personal Identity shall con-
Inue. That means that In some way or
'ther ' there shall be a continuance of that

xlstence.
' "There Is within us each a spiritual body ,
'ho mjsterles of clairvoyance or mind rcad-
ng these and other well authcntlcateJ
lowers of men are not powers of outer power ,
jut powers of some Inner organization trans-
'
'ormcd by the mind. This again we see II-
umlnateJ In the stories of the risen Jesus.
"At the touch of death the outer fleshy
'Ody ' falls away and the entire spiritual body
s freed for a new life. It may draw around
tsolf , from the body which It leaves , or from
ho spiritual elements In the encompassing
ther , the elements of a new and finer ma-
erlal body , or In ways In which we cannot
ven dream of , the mystery of being 'clothed
ipon' may accomplish Itself. At the moment
if death It seems to me the spirit passes nut

BRADFORD. Pa. , May B. The most destructive -
structivo forest fires known In this section
for years have raged for the past week.
About 3 o'clock a fire started between Glen
Hazel and Ketner's. Dolllver's saw mill , lo
cated betwc3n these points , was soon de
stroyed , together with 10,000,000 feet of lutn-
ber , an engine house , railroad switches , six-
teen cars of lumber and coal , eight dwellings ,
an oil well and several thousand acres of
timber land.
A special train , consisting of a steamer and
a large force of fire men , was sent from hfre
to the scene. The firemen were unab'e to
todo
do anything but divert the course of the
flames. Everjthing In the words Is very dry
and the leaves and underbrush furnish tibun-
dant fuel for the blaze. The flames are gti-
Ing up the hillside at a rapid rale , and de
stroying ever ) thing In their path. The sky
issh black with a stifling smoke , mil the ilamcs
shoot up as high as the tops of the trees.
A man had his shoulder brolcn and an-
other was Injured Internally while Jumping
from one of the buildings. In anuthi- me
lay : a woman who had been confined twenty-
four hours previous. She was rescued from
the flames , with much difficulty , and it Is
feared ! she will die from fright and ex
ha . This afternoon a second appeal was
re < from Glen Hazel asKIm ? for more
he , and thirty-five firemen with more hose
W ( sent by special train. It was feared the
fir was about to cross the cast branch of
th Clarion river and set upon the town of
Glen Hazel. The woods ilong the Erie rail
road between Ketner and Hradford are on
fire , and It Is feared the loss to oil and lumlla
bar property will be great.

SAN FRANCISCO , May B. Now that
Theodore Durrani , the medical student , has
been remanded to the county Jail to tand
trio on the charge of having murdered Miss
Lament and Miss Williams , the lawyers for
the defense arc seeking to stem the tide of
public opinion by telling on what lines they
will conduct the case. The attorneys for the
accused say that they will prove that the
yard ot the church has been a trsting
place for people living In that neighborhood ;
that Durrani had not a reputation as a lady
killer ; that another member ( now an ex-mem-
bcr ) had ; that the latter frequented the
church , though now a non-resident ; that this
penon was one whom all the joung ladles
of the church distrusted , as ho frequently
took liberties with them , that upon one occa
sion : he vvas alone with a joung lady In the
vestry , and that his actions wcro such as to
ciuso her to have a serious hjsterlciil attack ;
that only a desire to avoid public scandal
prevented his arrest and prosecution at that
time ' , that said ox-member during April was
present at the services at the church , to
which he at one time possessed n key , one
that fitted the side door ; that this person
know and was Intimately acquainted with
both Blanche Lament and Miss Williams ;
that this person has been married and di
vorced ' , and has also been an Inmate ot an
s'
Insane asvlum.
Durrani's attornejs conclude by saying
they are confident that before many dajs
the burden of guilt will be openly borne by
the responsible criminal.
These ] murders resulted a few days ago In
the suicide of one morbidly sensitive > outh ,
and now the disappearance of a joung girl
Is ascribed i as the sime cause. Stella Hughes ,
daughter of Captain Hughes of Oakland , Is
about ( 22 years old , rather dark and attrac
tive. \ Last Thursday she went out walking
with her sister. She asked her sister to go
out I to Baker's beach , near Seal Hocks , which
her sister would not do. The > oung lady
went alone. She has not been seen since.
H Is supposed that the accounts of the church
murder deranged her mind and caused her
to leap Into the ocean.

Balfour , the ex-member of Parliament , who

ernment to secure his extradition from Ar
gentine , whence he fled. Is expected to ar
rive hero at midnight tonight from Buenos

his many victims who were completely ruined
by the failure of the building society , will
attempt to assault htm when he lands. A
large number of detectives and policemen
are present to take charge of him and to
prevent any overt act on the part of the
crowd that began to assemble as soon as It
became known that the Tartar Prince had
been signaled off the coast When the
steamer arrives the dock will be closed to
the public , and Balfour w'll be placed on
board a special train , which is now waiting
to convey him to London. The Scotland
Yard authorities have taken elaborate pre
cautions to pi event the prisoner from being
Interviewed.
The steamer Tartar Prince , having on board
Jabez Spencer , Just arrived at midnight.
The ] crowd which was awaiting his arrival
early last evening thinned out as the night
wore , on , and when the steamer went Into
her dock few persons besides the olllcers
of the law were- waiting for him.
