WEEMB VOL. 44. ENGLAND HAS A GRIEVANCE. Nicaragua Refuses to Allow Her Vico Consul to Return. Pardon Extended to Americans Who Were Banished From Blue fields at the Same Time as the British Official. • Secretary Gresham Apt to Brins' In fluence to Bear on Nicaragua to Per mit the Vice Consul to Return—A Strong Fleet to be Maintained in Readiness for Any Emergency. Washington, Nov. 28,—1t is understood that to-day’s dispatches from Ambassador Bayard show that behind Great Britain’s refusal to approve the new Nicaraguan lo cal goverment at Bluefields, the banish ment of the British vice-consul, E. H. Hatch, plays a somewhat prominent part. When the Mosquito Indian rule was over thrown for a second time by Nicaragua last August the United States felt confi dent that full justice would be done to foreign property holders as soon as the Impetuous ardor of the Nicaraguan’s had a chance to cool. In the earlier conflicts between the Nicaraguan’s and the Mos quitos (or those claiming to be Mosquito Indians), commencing in February of the present.year, Great Britain and the United States succeeded in preventing excessive measures. It was while this country, with England, was restraining Nicaragua, that those inhabitants, under the youthful Chief Clarence as ruler, overthrew the temporary Nicaraguan military rule. It so happened that just at this moment the United States, through its diplomatic channels, was recognising the full sover eignty of Nicaragua over the Mosquito Territory In terms more explicit than had hitherto been used in negotiations based on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and that Gen. Barrios had been received by England as a Nicaraguan envoy, largely upon United States representations, to ne gotiate a convention on which would place Great Britain in an attitude similar to that of United States. Then Nicaragua undertook to crush out the latest Clarence rebellion by drastic measures. Chief Clarence and many of his supporters fled, but others, Including several Americans and Englishmen, re mained at Bluefields and were taken under arrest to the capital, Managua, where a decree was issued banishing them from the country. While the legality of this •action under Nicaragua’s constitution was never Impeached, tbe United States re-, gretted the proceeding, as it was clearly calculated to embarrass the negotiations, which would practically abrogate the . treaty. k Among the prisoners banished was the fclJriiJwh vice consul at Bluefields. Edwin KD. fhi<eh, w.’f, howpvtr, find not ten V ... <,i, and J. 8. I.ap- i ■ and - 11. D ink, American plan t " era. These three men were participants in the Clarence rebellion. Eampton and Wlltsbank have since been pardoned and permitted to return to Bluefields. It is understood that the Nicaraguans have been unaffected by the repeated and per- Bistent demands of Mr. Goschen, the Brit ish minister, to extend a similar pardon to Mr. Hatch, and that this is one of the real causes of Great Britain's present atti tude. Mr. Hatch owned property at Bluefields, which was confiscated. The question of the right of Nicaragua to re fuse to recognize Mr. Hatch as a British consular official is also said to be involved. For several weeks officials of the state department have been aware of the se rious turn the Hatch affair had taken and it is known that Minister Baker was under instructions to exercise his good offices In inducing the government at Managua to recede from its position, and to restore Mr. Hatch’s belongings, and to extend to him recognition as vice consul, with the as surance that the United States would use every proper effort to prevent any future successful resistance to Nicaraguan sov ereignty at Bluefields, Great Britain, mean while to give an implied guarantee that Mr. Hatch would not be active in further conspiracy to restore the Yule of young Clarence. The United States could well undertake this responsibility on account of the interests she had to take in securing the successful accomplishment of Gen. Barrios’ mission in England, which could not fall to result in giving the United States an incontestable title to any inter oceanic canal that might be built over the lake Nicaragua route. It Ih probable that with the appearance of the Columbia and British warships at Bluefields, the Nicaraguan government will be impressed with the advantages that would accrue from impllclty follow ing Secretary Gresham's advice and that Mr. Hatch will be promptly included in the terms of amnesty which were granted to Messrs. Lampton and Wlltsbank. Those Americans, it is known, were pardoned only at the peremptory insistence of Sec retary Gresham, who demanded that the summary proceedings which characterised their arrest and banishment should be fol lowed by a fair trial, and that what had been done without due process of law should be accomplished In a deliberate le gal way. t The request that similar justice be done I In the case of Mr. Hatch, it is under stood, was ignored by Nicaragua, and Great Britain has resented the apparent discrimination. Secretary Gresham is con fident that serious trouble will be avoided. Nevertheless, the United States has been preparing for emergencies. It is stated that Admiral Walker, since his return from Hawaii, has been constantly en gaged for the past two months In famil- I i&rtslng himself with the Central Amer ican question. It is said that he has planned, In case of emergency, of course, a schema of operations at the eastern entrance of the proposed Nicaragua ca nal and our gulf ports as a basis, and fur ther, has arranged a programme for the movements of the Pacific squadron, with the new cruiser Olympia as flagship and the Philadelphia. Bennington, Bos ton, Newark, and the old cruisers Ma rlon, Adams, Alert and Bangor as eon sorts. It is the intention of the navy to send the Bennington to the west coast of Nicaragua in a few days. No other ves sels will probably be sent south, either on the Atlantic or Pacific coast, although every available vessel will be held in readiness to proceed to sea promptly upon the receipt of telegraphic orders. The British North Atlantic fleet con sists of ten vessels, the Blake, Buzzard, Canada, Cleopatra, Magictenne, Part ridge, Pelican. Mohawk. Tartar and Tour maline. Os these, the Blake, which is vr»lv one of considerable tight tug power, at last •CCOunts was at Halifax with several other vessels of the fleet. There are two small British cruisers in the West Indies, but the Marblehead and Montgomery would easily outclass them.

ESTILL, President. ) least, it is the announced naval policy of the United States to maintain a simi lar fleet of superior strength in the same waters as an evidence that American in terests are not to be lightly jeopardized. Secreary Gresham in person called at the British legation to-day—a very un usal proceeding—and not finding Mr. Gos chen the charge d’ affairs there and learn ing that he was only Slightly indisposed, drove to his residence to lay before him the dispatches he had received. FULLER’S NAME FORGED. The Son-in-Law of the Chief Justice to bo Arrested. Chicago, Nov. 28.—A warrant has been issued by Justice Foster for the arrest of James Matthews Aubrey, a youth who, about five years ago eloped with a daugh ter of Chief Justice Fuller. The spe cific charge on which the arrest is ordered was for forging the name of Melville W. Fuller to a check for SSO on the Atlas National Bank, but it is known that there are several other forgeries of the chief justice’s name charged against the young man, amounting in the aggregate to about SBOO, The present warrant was Is sued on complaint of Arthur E. Greene, bookkeeper for the Central Store and Grain Company. About five years ago J. “Matt” Aubrey created one of the biggest sensations of the day by eloping to Milwaukee with the daughter of Chief Justice Fuller and mar rying her. The couple did not live hap pily together for any great length of time, and during the last two years have been living entirely apart, and the wife recently instituted proceedings for abso lute divorce. KOLB NOT FEARED. The Governor Prepared to Quell Any Effort to Make Trouble. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 28.—The ac counts sent out by correspondents as to trouble in this city next Saturday at the inauguration of Col. Oates as governor, are all wild imaginings and have no foun dation in fact. No body of Kolbltes is marching on this city, and when any such body does move their progress will be stopped in short order. The authorities are ready to put down disorders of any kind at short notice. When Kolb issued his proclamation call ing on his followers to meet here and see that he was seated as governor, the au thorities, as a precautionary measure, is sued orders for all the armories to be pro tected from depredations of any sort, or from any source, and small details have been made each night for that purpose. There is no excitement at any place in the state, for every citizen knows that when Gov. Jones said: "By the grace of God I will see that Col. Oates is inaugu rated as governor,” he meant what he said and would carry out his intentions, and was pre pi-*' *4 tor any emergency. SMALLPOX ON A TRAIN.

He Did Not Say That Men Who Die Rich Die Disgraced- Washington, Nov. 28.—Andrew Carnegie has addressed to a personal friend in this city the following letter in regard to his reported remark that “Men who died rich died disgraced.”: New York, N. Y., Nov. 26.-My Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th Inst., with in closures, I find before me upon my return from Pittsburg. It is easy to take a few words from a speech and give a wrong Impression. The remarks I made were at a private dinner to the library commis sion at Pittsburg. Some one must have given the reporter a synopsis. What I have said about wealth is found in my own writings, and not in extracts from supposed speeches. I had no reference to men who died leaving competencies, for I belive such men are the salt of civiliza tion, but to men leaving millions in se curities which they could have used in their lifetime. I said I believed the day would come when such men would die disgraced, and that a tribute of approval would be given to those upon whose tomb stones could be truly written, “He lived without ostentation, and he died poor,” as was said of Pitt.” A SHAM NAVAL BATTLE.

New York, Nov. 28.—The second day of the great international bicycle tournament at Madison Square Garden brought bet ter racing and fewer accidents than the first. The attendance was large and the ex citement was sustained throughout.

Verheyen is the prettiest rider in the tournament, and has established himself as a popular fa vorite. The professional ten-mile event brought together Zimmerman, Wheeler, Verheyen, Edwards, Berloa and Martin. It was a race for any one till Zimmerman lost his pedal and dropped out. Martin seeing this sprang away and won in a rush, followed by Wheeler and Verheyen. Summaries follow: One Mile—2:4o class (class A), won by T. Butler, Cambridgeport, with James F.

NO MONEY FOR THE MILITARY The House by 87 Votes to 45 Refuses to Make an Appropriation. The Delegation From Chatham Speaks in Favor of the Bill—All the Populists Vote Against the Appropriation—The House Also Refuses to Appropriate $25,000 for New Buildings for the Girls’ Normal and Industrial School. Atlanta, Nov. 28.—8 y a vote of 87 to 45 the House refused to insert an appropri ation of? 20,000 for the military in the gen eral appropriation bill to-day. All the pop ulists voted against the appropriation, having caucused upon it. When the House met this morning the appropriation bill was immediately taken up where it was dropped yesterday. Mr. Wright of Floyd resumed his speech ih support of the Hodges amendment giving the military and agricultural col leges at Milledgeville $2,000. He was fol lowed by several others, but the House overwhelmingly refused to grant the ap propriation. Mr. Boifeuillet of Bibb brought on a other discussion by an amendment to in crease the appropriation to the Girls In dustrial and Normal College at Milledge ville, for w’hlch $22,500 was appropriated yesterday, $25,000 for the purpose of erect ing new buildings. Mr. Boifeuillet argued that the appropriation was needed and that it had been requested by the gover nor in his message sent to the legisla ture. The House got all tangled up on this question. A rule limiting speeches to ten minutes had been adopted, but Mr. Boifeuillet had a speech to deliver, and he managed to get it off in the general con fusion, after making three efforts to do so, taking up altogether half an hour. He was cut off right in the middle of a sentence twice, and each time when he began again after the confusion subsided it was in the middle of the sentence where he had been interrupted. The elo quence of the member from Bibb was of no avail, however, as the House refused to entertain the proposition to add the $25,000 to the appropriation, the.governor’s request notwithstanding. The next appropriation was adopted, $600,000 for the common schools, together with whatever other funds may be in the treasury at the time of making the appor tionment as required by the code. Should the returns of taxable property for the years 1895, and 1896 prove to be greater than $429,000,000, then the sums arising from the general tax levy upon t'ft.pSe reijurns.pf tax able property in excess of $429,000,000 is to go to the common school fund of the state in addition to the $600,000 appropriated, and in addition to the moneys appropriated by the existing laws to the common school fund. The usual appropriations were made for other departments of the state gov ernment. The contingent fund was cut down to SIO,OOO, the committee having recommended $15,000; and the sum of SBOO recommended by the committee for the board of visitors to the experiment station was cut down to $500; 190,000 was given for soldiers pensions and $240,000 for widows pensions. Mr. Rockwell of Chatham made one of the strongest arguments of the day In fa vor of the military appropriation. Mr. Dempsey of Butts had offered an amend ment giving the military $7,500 each year. Mr. Rockwell ridiculed this proposition in his speech. He argued for the appropria tion from a business standpoint, citing the recent calling out of the military in Sa vannah to preserve the peace. In two years the military had been ordered out five times in Savannah. He also recurred to the Jasper county lynching, and claimed that this would never have happened had the militia been well organized there. Messrs. Screven and Doolan also urged the appropriation, and a half dozen other speeches were made in favor of it, but the House stood by the report of the finance committee and refused to grant it. The Senate committee to-day agreed to recommend favorably the Venable insur ance bill. Under the bill, as recommended, brokers representing fire insurance com panies having no deposit in the State treas ury are to be licensed upon application to the insurance commissioner. They are to be required to make semi-annual state ments of the condition of all the compa nies they represent, the same as companies regularly doing business in this state, and are also to be required to make sworn exhibits to the insurance commissioner showing the officers, charter, etc., of their companies before they get a license. The dispensary bill was made the spe cial order for next Tuesday, when its fate will be settled by the whole Senate. Senator Tatum has introduced a bill to regulate the sale of liquor in Georgia, providing for the analysis and inspection of all liquors offered for sale In Georgia. Two important bills were passed to-day. The first provides for the appointment of auditors, prescribes their duties, fixes their compensation, provides for a method of making their reports and regulates the practice in cases where exceptions ar© filed to their reports. The other bill is to regulate the law of assignments for the benefit of creditors, to fix the rights and duties of assignors, creditors and assignees. It practically does away with the extravagant charges of receivers, and the creditors will get the money in stead of the receivers. Another bill passed was the one intro duced by Senator Harris to relieve the supreme court from writing out their opinion in certain cases, except when the case is reversed, when they will send, with the remittitur the grounds of reversal. If affirmed, they simply announce their verdict. A FREIGHT WAR ENDED. Two Roads Allowed Drayage Differen tials at New Orleans.

J 4 5 CENTS A COPY. L f DAILY, 110 A YEAR. ‘ : NO QUARTER AT PORT ARTHUR. The Japanese Massacre Chinese After Finding Mutilated Comrades. London, Nov. 28.—The Tokio correspond ent of the Central News telegraphs: “The Japanese have found at Port Arthur a chart, which has enabled them to locate exactly, and control all the mines in the harbor. “On Nov. 20, previous to the storming of the forts, the Japanese placed 100 seige and field guns in well chosen positions, and rained shot and shell upon the Chi nese entrenchments. This bombardment made possible the rapid success of the assault. “There was an engagement near Mo- Tien-Ling on Nov. 25. The Korean troops tried to break the Japanese’ right flank, but were repulsed. The Japanese loss was forty-eight killed and wouhded. From Tien Tsin the Central News hears: “Li Hung Chang has gone to Pao-Ting- Foo, his usual winter residence, and the seat of the provincial government. His departure has given rise to many false rumors to the effect that he has been degraded again. The viceroy’s friends say that the time is near when he will be summoned to Pekin to save the country by his statesmanship.” The Times correspondent in Chee-Foo says: “Admiral Freemantle and fifty Brit ish officers landed at Port Arthur on Nov. 25. Kung, the Taotai of Port Arthur, a brother of the Chinese minister to Eng land, has gone to Tlen-Tsin. The re ports of atrocities on both sides are con firmed. The Japanese, after finding the mutilated bodies of several comrades, gave no quarter, there being an indiscrim inate massacre. Several Chinese soldiers and some tradesmen who tried to escape by sea were followed by torpedo boats and were shot.” A Shanghai dispatch says that the Ja panese torpedo boats sank more than twenty junks loaded with fugitives from Port Arthur. A dispatch to the Central News from Tokio says that Commissioner Dietring, and his suite sailed for Tien Tsin to-day. Count Ito, the Japanese prime minister, declined to receive the commissioner, stat ing that he would only receive an envoy who had been directly appointed by the Chinese government at Pekin, and would hold no communication with the viceroy’s messenger. Commissioner Dietring wished to discuss terms whereby Shanghai might be protected, as a sop to the foreigners, and Nankin, and some port in Han|n be opened to trade. Washington, Nov. 28.—United States Ministers Denby and Dun at Pekin and Tokio, it is definitely stated here, are actively engaged in the conduct of ne gotiations for peace between China and Japan. The state department, as well as the Japanese legation, have confidential Information that the American ministers have already presented China’s plea to Japan, and that the details of the settle ment are rapidly being made definite and satisfactory.
