THE EVENING CALL. )L X No. 213 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. ■»- - Spreads Like Wildfire.

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. —— - ♦ Qp 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.

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.

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.
