PEACE IN BLUEFIELDS
Truce Between American Merchants
and the Government.
New Orleans, May 12.—The steam
er Hamil arrived from Bluefielda, and
announces the temporary settlement
of the diatoms dispute between the
American merchants of that town and
the Nicaraguan government on the
lines already telegraphed from Nicara
gua The agreement, made through
Ministers Merry and Saneen, is that
the merchants who paid the duties to
the Reyes government, which they say
was paid to a de facto government, but
which Nicaragua disputes on the
ground that it warned them to make
no payments to Reyes, shall deposit
the amount in dispute with Mr. Bing
ham, British consul at San Juan del
Norte (Greytown), subject to the de
cision of the American and Nicaraguan
governments, with the understanding
that the entire matter is to be settled
within four months. If not settled in
that time the money is to be refunded
to the merchants who deposited it.
All goods embargoed by the Nicara
guan government are to be released
and the government binds itself to
make good to the merchants ail dam
ages they may have incurred. No
penalties or fines are to be assessed by
Nicaragua on account of the action of
the merchants in refusing to pay the
duties.
The question will depend on wheth
er the Reyes government was a de
facto government. After reaching this
arrangement with Minister Merry,
Senor Sansen, Nicaraguan minister of
foreign affairs, who has been managing
the matter for President Zelaya, left
for Nicaragua, the capital, taking with
him the evidence of the court of in
quiry which has been sitting at Blue
fields for some time investigating the
Reyes revolution. It is an open secret
that Zelaya will declare on the basis of
this investigation that a large number
of foreigners, particularly Americans,
were implicated in the Reyes uprising
and will issue a proclamation declar
ing them pernicious foreigners who
cannot be tolerated in Nicaragua
Tliey must be expelled frt m the coun
try.
It is also understood that the presi
dent, in view of the evidence collected
by the court of inquiry, wiil abrogate
the agreement made with the M osquito
Indians when Nicaragua seized the
country in 1894, whereby it was agreed
that the former Mosquito reservation
should have a special tariff and should
not be bound by that of Nicaragua,
and that the revenue derived from the
reservation should be expended only
in its government and local improve
ment. By abrogating the agreement
the former reservation will be com- I
pletely merged in Nicaragua in all!
tariff and financial matters.
I'he expenses of overthrowing the
Reyes revolution, assessed at $600,000
by Zelaya, wiil be raised by special
taxes and duties. In view of the
threats of banishment and extra war
taxes, it is probable that a number of
the American merchants in Bluefields
will leave the country.

You can’t keep a good thing down.
News of it travels fast. When things
are “the best,” they become “the best

druggist, of Belleville, 0., writes:
I ectrie Billers are the best selling
bitters I have ever handled in my 20
years experience.” You know why?
Most diseases begin in disorders of
btomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver, kid
neys and bowels, purifies the blood,
rtrengthens the nerves, hence cures
multitudes of maladies. It builds up

REGULARS FOR MANILA
: War Department is Preparing to Sent
a Number of Soldiers
• Washington, May 12—The wa
I department is preparing to send sou
regiments ol regulars to Manila bj
> way of New York city and the Sue:
canal, utilizing for the purpose th(
transports Thomas, Meade and Logan
which are to be permanently trans
ferred from the Atlantic to the Pacifit
. fleet.
i The vessels will he prepared foi
their new duty as speedily as possible
. The Thomas will be ready to deparl
■ with one complete regiment and an
■ additional battalion before the end ol
the present month. The Logan will
quickly follow with seventeen hun
dred men.
Tha Meade, which lias a capacity ol
1,300 men, left New York for San Juan
on May 1, on her last trip before being
ready for the Philippines
These ships will be docked in order
that they may attain their highest
speed, on Hit outward voyage and their
accommodations for troops wiil be
thoroughly renovated to guard against
possible infection after their West In
dian voyage.
Inquiry at the state department to
day resulted in an official denial of the
statement that it has been decided to
abandon the efforts of the United
States and England to settle the differ
ences between the United States and
Canada, and that the joint high com
mission would not leassemble in Au
gust. It is true that there is a feeling
that the commissioners will not suc
ceed in arranging a treaty for the set
tlement of the embarrassing questions,
but it is unfair to accuse the United
States of being responsible.
Canada’s attitude is the greatest ob
struction. She insists upon having
her own way on every proposition ad
vanced and is unwilling to make any
concessions on the question of the
boundary dispute in Alaska, The
United Stales proposed a modus viven
di, designed to preserve order, and
England was agreeable, but Canada
submitted unacceptable condition.

His arm, that had been resting on
the back of the little settee on which
they sat in the gloaming, slipped down
and encircled her slender waist, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“Clara,” he whispered, “we shall be
very happy, shan’t we?”
A soft sigh was her only audible re
sponse, but she nestled closer to him
and he appeared satisfied.
The mel.ow haze of the goldeu Oc
tober day still hung over the darkened
landtw-pe. The voice of a tree toad
I somewhere in the neighborhood lifted
i itself up and called insistently for rain.
A faint odor of fried ham from some
kitchen to the windward of them per
vailed the air.
A thought seemed to strike the
young man

the clearest understanding about ev
erything that affects our future, ought

“Yes,” she murmured.
“Clara,” be said again, after a long
pause,“can you cook?”
There was another long pause.
Then she straightened herself up,
looked him squarely in the eye and
proudly answered
‘ Reginald, I can cook [ latoes in
fifteen diffeient ways ”
Then she put her head down where
it was before, and into her pink, shell
like ear be warbled incoherent out
pourings of joy.

THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS.
d 44tb Annual Session Convenes in
Louisville Today.
ir Lot isvn.i.i: Ky , May 11 —The 14th
>r annual session of the southern Baptist
y convention will begin here tomorrow.
;z This most important meeting of the
ie church in the south has already
a, brought thousands of visitors to the
i- city and it is expected tha' fully S 000
IC will be present in addition to 800 dele
gates who represent the 785 district
>r associations of the south
s. \\ bile the convention wiil transact
t much important business, it is not a
n legislative body, and the matter of
if greatest interest to Baptists all over
11 the country was taken up this morn-
- ing before the board of trustees of the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi-
if nary. This is the famous Whitsitt
n case, which is to be fina ly settled
g when the trustees pass on the resignas
tion of Dr, W. H. Whitsitt a- president
r of the seminary.
it The case grows out e>f charges of
r heresy made against Dr. Whilsitt,
e based on an article written for an en
t cyclopedia. In this he made the state-
- naent which he supported by historical
data that the practice of immersion
- was in vogue prior to 1614, and that
e Roger Williams therefore bad never
o been immersed This immediately
I aroused a storm of disapproval and I
- since then the case has been a source
J of continual discord among southern
- Baptists. It has been brought up in
- one way or another at nearly every
j Baptist gathering held since.
• Dr. Whitsitt has a considerable fol-
- lowing and has been practically vic
i, torious, but several months ago he
1 grew weary of the wrangle and ten
dered his resignation as president of
- the seminary. Friends of Whitsitt
r are striving to have the resignation
- not accepted by the trustees, which
r will be a victory for Whitsitt. The
? opposition contends that if he is sap-1
3 ported in his views the church in this
• country will be split

Mr. Carnegie s Philanthropy-
‘ i Mr. Carnegie says that be intends io
devote the remaining years of his life
> to distributing his great fortune among
i philanthropic objects. There are sev
eral statements as to the size of his
■ fortune. One puts it at $100,000,000,
I . another at $150,000,000, and another'
1 at $200,000,000. It is safe to say that I
1 it is much mon- than $100,000,000.1
■ During the last 25 years he has given '
I away more than $17,000,000 If it ia |
his purpose to give away the bulk if
hie great fortune, he w ill have as much
3 , ae be can attend to during the remain-
1 ih.-r of his life to answer begging letters
s I —that is, if he pavs ar, v attention to
•! such letters. He has only one chiiu, a
I daughter, and says that it is L - pur-
■ pose to leave her only a moderate for-
{ tune.
In answer to a question why be sold
out bis great iron work.-—the greatest
in the world, according to his estimate
, —he said it was not I cause he had
1 any fear of trusts—he had no fear of
them—but because hi- made up his I
i mind long ago that he w.-uld not
spend In old age in bnsiue-s, strugs
3 gling for more millions. He believes
• in a useful, digniti d, umi< Ifish : ice
men t after the age of 60.
It is certain that Mr. Carnegie will
have an income of $5000,000 a year
and probably a gr< at deal more. His
> non and steel works have yielded from
d $7,000,000 to $10,000,0W a v .r for
o . ,
many years, and it is there; ue reason
>- J J
y able to suppose that hie fortun- .•
g, muchlaiger than the ini Hint that he
#1 gets for those works. The -urn f>r

gg $100,000,000
Mr. Carnegie undoubtedly ti,;>)-.-!
it, making the great fortune he has, and
he will enjoy distrib iting it. He wil
l ‘° find employment in searching out
)l ' worthy objects for charity, ar I in
r Y helping those who need help he «
find contentment, and contentment is
happiness. And it is a wiser pan t
donate his wealth to worthy objects
Tht than to leave all of it to his daugeter,
to whom it might prove a bunlen, i!
not an obstacle to happiness
