to perfect tllelr plans Hie liidlaus i xe-
euk-tl a coup d eui which changed
Hie whole aspect of affairs and which
the Nicaraguatw tbarge was incited by
the Americans. This has resulted lu
mi liKT.UMtd tension between the two
imtiotulltiw* to such an extent that
many Amerkuns have deemed discre
tion the I>ctter iwrt of va-lov and left
the rem'rvaiLon, d-spite llie fa*‘t that
an American worship Is anchored off
the bluffs.
About the middle of the night the In
dians made a clever attack on the bluff
where the Nicaraguan troop* were quar
tered, nnd, driving them off, captured
all the arms and ammunition and l'ortl-
lled themselves In Uie stronghold which
Lueuyo hud hulk. A band of Indians,
commanded by Clarence himself, em
barked on a flat boat ami stealthily
moved around the bluffs till they were
directly opposite (hem and before the
Bentrlea were aware, of what was going
on opened lire on them, and the troops,
who had been suddenly called to arms.
The Nicaraguan* were so surprised,
.however, that they were unable to make
any defense and fled.
The next moraine the Marblehead
lauded itfty marines and quartered
them noar the international Club to
protect American Interests. This was
deemed necessary owing to the hostil
ity uf tuff Spaniards, who attributed the
midnight attack to Incitement of Ameri
can residents. Thd commander himself
worked hard trying to gather together
hta demoralized forces and sent to the
Interior by couriers for reinforcements.
After the landing of the marines there
were nu inure hostilities, though tho HI-
cllan* were still In possession br the
bluffs.
M was reported that the Indians In
tho Interior were preparing to move
on Bluellelds In targe numbers to anni
hilate the Nicaraguans, and though
they have not materialized there is a
vust amount of uneasiness there. It Is
said that the Nicaraguans have warned
several Americans to make themselves
scarce under the penalty of death, hut
so fur these threats live not been put
nto execution. It Is reported that : wvo
or three soldiers were killed in the at
tack on the bluffs.

Chicago, July IS.—(Debs and Ills com
panions are kept busy refusing offers
to furnish ball, and adhere *to their de
termination to remain in Jail. They
do not live on prison fare, however,
but have their meals sent in from a
neighboring restaurant. They spent
several hours today in the visitors'
cage with other representatives of tho
union and their relatives, receiving
correspondence and directing the move
ment of the strike. A short visit was
mde' to the office of their counsel for
consultation. The rest ot the day was
spent upon affairs of the organisation.
In the absence ot Directors tHoganand
Goodwin in ihe Northwest, and on ac
count of the imprisonment ot four oth
ers, there was no quorum In the exec
utive board today. Director ' Burns
practPcaky had charge of affairs, (al
though the prisoners were consulted
and Issued Instructions In regard to
the strike outside of Chicago. At Uhl-
richs hall the roa2 committee reported
that the union was not losing ground
In Chicago. Director Burns, In address
ing a mass meeting of the strikers,
afterwards said: "The Western roads
are badly crippled, and. we arc going
to win If they put 500 of us In Jail."
The shops at Putman will possibly
be opened In a few days, but the strik
ers, by a large -majority, do not intend
to return to work at the reduced rate
of wages until they are forced to do
so by the pangs of hunger and the
approach of winter. The total number
of plications received by the Pullman
Company from striker* who want to
return *to work Is 75. The great body of
strikers are getting plenty to eat Just
now from some unknown source, and
every man, iwom'an and'girl Is as full
of fight as ever.
(Editor Austin of the American Rail
way Union said tonight that the wo
men’s union at Pullman was the best
of any of the COO unions In the United
States.
Rev. H. W. Thomas, pastor of the
People's church, said, after a confer
ence today with Vice President Wicks,
that there was a. strong sentiment In
favor of opening the shops. The offi
cials will say nothing.
