Mr. Bayard Define* III* Policy and Com* uienccN Movements of Vessels to the IstbinQ* —The Revolution SuppreKsed—Capital Chatter. Washington, March 21.—A long letter has been sent by Secretary Bayard to Sena tor Miller, chairman of the senate commit tee on foreign relations, in response to a re quest to be furnished with such information ns the state department may possess touch ing the attempt by Gen. Barrios, president of Guatemala, to seize upon territory and de stroy the integrity of the republics of Nica ra ua, Honduras, Kan Salvador and Costa R ca, and as to what ships have been taken bv the department for the protection of the United States thereunder. Mr. Bayard s Utes that the first intimation re c ived in regard to this revolutionary move ment was a telegram addressed to the presi dent by Gen. Barrios, announcing that “for the purpose of bringing about a union of the states of Central America, and making them one republic,’’ he bad, “with the approval of the assembly, assumed the title of supreme military chief,” and that the minister of for eign relations of Guatemala would soon come to Washington. “Late in the night of the same day,” the secretary continued, “I re •cerved a telegram from Senor Castleton, the minister of foreign affairs of Nicaragua, stating that the decree under which Gen. Barrios assumed the military command of Central America was approved by the Gua temalan assembly on the previous evening; that Nicaragua was ready to repel at all costa this attempt at the absorption of the republic and that to avert war, Nicaragua requested the interference of the government of the United States. The president has received a telegram from President Zal livar, of San Salvador, informing him that the republics of San Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica were re solved to resist with energy the attempt of Gen. Barrios to enforce a Central American union; and in view of the reported dispatch of Guatemalan troops to attack San Salva dor, urging that this government should check the impending conflict by a cablegram. I have had pleasure in informing Mr. Rom ero, the Mexican minister, that this govern ment will protest energetically against, and wifi use all its moral influence and lend its good offices to'pfrevent 1 le destruction of the autonamy of the Central American states, and to this end woui 1 be glad to have the co operation Os Mexico. Senor Batres, who, in addition to representing Guatemala and Hon duras at the capital was also the accredited minister of San Salvador, has been deprived of this latter mission, because of his associa tion with the movement of Gen. Barrios in Guatemala. ” The secretary asserts that this government is “ready for any emergency requiring the protection of American interests. The Swu tara is supposed by this time to have reached Livingston, Guatemala. The Galena and Powhatan are now at Aspinwall, where they will await orders, as it is unlikely that their presence will be immediately required on the Atlantic coast of Central America, unless the government of Honduras should take the ag gressive, and their presence at the isthmus of Darien is deemed necessary in view of the formidable insurrection which now controls the seaports of Colombia, on the Caribbean, up to the state of Panama. The Tennessee (flagship), Alliance and Yantic are at New Orleans, within easy call. On the Pacific side the Wachusett, now en route to San Fran cisco, has t>een cabled to proceed to La Union, San Salvador, there to await orders,. The Shenandoah, now on the Chilian or Pe ruvian coast, has been ordered to Panama to receive instructions. If necessary the Iro quois can also lie summoned thither.” Mr. Bayard discusses the treaty rights of this country with these states, and concludes as follows: H ln response to the invitation of your com- M mittee that J submit such suggestions in the remises as 1 desire to make, I can only ex f press my conviction that while this govern | ment has an undoubted interest in the as * similation of the aims of the Central Ameri can states, so that they may act voluntarily and harmoniously together under republican forms toward the realizatition of national and continental ends, it must inflexibly re fuse its countenance to any measure subvers ive of the free anatomy of any of the several states. The interest and duty of the United Btates in the affairs of the Central American states, and which so far as existing treaty obligations are concerned I have already re cited, must be manifested in accordance with the historical and consistent policy of this nation toward the stab's of the American system. Believing that .it >ral influence and good offices of the U .filed States can be made a potential agency in the preservation of peace within the line of this policy, I am unable to suggest any action to the senate. ” The secretary received the following dis patch from commander T. F. Kane, of Ga lena: “Revolution at Panama and Aspinwall. Troops and police withdrawn from here. Have landed marines and hauled ship along side wharf to prefect property. Request in structions. ” Commander Beardslee, of the Powhatan, at the same time reported to the navy de partment from Colon that Carthagena was besieged and his stay indefinite. Secretary Whitney sent the following dis patch to Commander Mahan, of the W achu uett, at Panama: “President Barrios, of Gautemala, has pro claimed a union of the states of Central America and announced himself as com mander-in-chief of the combined military forces of those states. The governments of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Salvadoi have determined to resist this forcible at tempt of President Barrios to become dictator of Central America, and as hostilities are I kely to take place which will emdanger the l .ves and property of the citizens of the .United States, you will proceed with the vessel under you command to La Union an- La Libertad, San Salvador and such othei faints on the coast of Central America a you may deem advisable in order to protect Amcrk'fltp interests. Place yourself in communication our minister to the Central American states am our consuls at the several ports and obtain all the information possible in re lation io the existing condition of affairs. It is stated that attempts have team or will bt made by emissaries of the government ol Guatemala to interfere with the submarin cables of the Central and South America telegraph company. Protest againsc any a ■ tern s to cut the cables or interfere with the . use, and in general use all proper measur. s to prevent injury to the property of Ameri i can cjtizens. Take all proper precautions to | protect the health of your officers ami men, ‘ particularly from yello v fever and other dis 'eases which would render it necessary foi von to leave that coast, where your presence very necessary.” CYRUS W. FIELD DENIED ENGLISH COURTS REFUSE ACTION AGAINST THE HERALD. Some Skirmishing on Soudan** Sand*. Menacing Mad hi Menaced by Mudh Dongola al Merawi—Hi*marek*s Birthday Behest—Foreign Note*. Ik>ndon, March 21.—The counsel represent ing Cyrus W. Field applied to the court of queen’s bench for authority to serve the com mons a notice of action upon the London manager of the New York Herald. He stated that this rather unusual course was necessary owing to the fact that J. G. Ben nett, proprietor, was frequently absent from London. The counsel averred that many copies of the Herald, containing the alleged libelous article had been circulated through out England an ! that Mr. Field suffered by the reflections upon his character, and that this permission was sought from the honor able court so that a speedy opjxjrtunity might be obtained by Mr. Field to vindicate himself in the eyes of the English people. The judges upon consultation refused to grant the motion. “Onward, March I” Suakim, March 21. —The British troops, under command of Gen.

Deadwood, Dak., March 21.—William Boyd came here several weeks ago from the deserted mining town of Coeur d'Alene. While in a liquor store drinking with some friends he said that among the first to engage in the liquor trade at Coeur d’Alene, when the great rush to the camp began, was one Jerome, a French dancing master. Jerome was a surly, disagreeable man, who made more enemi3» than friends, .aud whose only cus tomers were the worst of the ruffians who in fested the camp. When the desertion of the Coeur d’Alene mines began last summer Jerome’s customers were among the first to leave the camp. A little later, after Jerom ' had gone too, Boyd and some of the other miners who had stayed in camp because they were too poor to get away, began searching the deserted shanties for something to eat or drink. Undei the shanty in which Jerome had sold liquoi was a cellar, in the middle of which was e pile of ice. Demolishing the ice in the hopt of finding some whisky hidden in it, the) battered one chunk in the middle of whicl was a woman’s hand. It had been chopped off with an axe, apparently. The cabin wa co ref ally searched, but nothing else wa foun 1 except a handful of yellow hair. • And here the hair is now,” said Boyd, tak in it ou'; of his belt. If Jerome and I ever i• ■ it iviil be the end of oue of us, unless ht i tell what became of the woman whos ;.i l did hair I found in his cellar.” J h. as he finished speaking a stranger en r ■ I the liquor store and walked up to Boy< -. il asked him how he was doing. “Jot so well since 1 found this,” said Boy . n Lag rhe hair in the stranger’s face. An >ll he continued: ‘‘Jerome, 1 believe tin .1 murdered that woman, and I now dv . a/your arrest,” knockel Boyd down, ran out < . > ill escape I in the darkness. Adi i t il. tci.rt h is being made for him. “Viva Mexico’’—“Death to Barrio*. ’• City of Mexico, March 21. —On the en trance into this city of the thirtieth bat talion from the state of Guanajuato, they were met and followed by enthusiastic thous-1 ands crying, “Viva Mexico,” and “Death to Barrios.” The battalion will proceed to the Guatemala frontier.

THE PAGE PATENT EXPIRES. ' End of the Wealerii I nion i'elegrapl Company's Venerable Bugbear. New York, ?!’•? ■]> 21 —The famous “Page |iatent,” which the Western Union telegraph company has for so nmiij yearn used to frighten off rivals, or failing in thu to involve them in litigation, has expired, aged seventeenyears. Almost every contt i rance m telegraphy brough forward since the war was promptly bx-lared by the Western Guion to be an mi nngement of its wonderful “Page patent.” This patent originated iu an act of congress for the pur pose of giving to an American (Dr. Page, of Washington), the gl whi?h had been claimed for a Frenchman (Ruhmkorff) of inventing the induction coil adapted to the application of electricity as a remedial agent. This act was passed under the plea that it in terfered with no rights whatever, and that no primary considerations were involved. The son-in-law of the alleged inventor was a patent lawyer, and Dr. Page dying soon after the act was passed the heirs made an attempt to sell the pateut to the Western Union com pany, upon the plea that il poetically reis sued the old Morse pateut which had then ex pired. Presideut Orton, of that company, publicly d(-nounced such a claim as an out rage. Nothing was done after this for three years, when a scheme was laid to have this patent reissued by the patent office, with the under standing that if successful the Western Union would buy it. Words, innocent upon their face, were introduced into this application for reissue, but immediately the application was granted the claim was set up that it was a telegraph instrument, and so was iu effect a reissue of the Morse pateut for another sev enteen years. The credit of concocting the paragraph in the ajiplication by which this was achieved is attributed to Mr. George Harding, tho patent lawyer of Philadelphia, and Mr. Gaorge B. Prescott, then the elec trician of the Western Union company. Having secured control of the patent upon the payment of $25,000 and a contract to give the heirs of Dr. Page one-half of what ever sums might be recovered in suits for in fnngemeuts the Western Union immedi ately began threatening all who were using the old Morse relay. Kome of the leading railroads showing a disposition to enter the telegraph business, threats were made to en join them from using the instrument if they ■granted facilities to any other telegraph company to do business along their lines. Bimllar threats were made against existing . telegraph companies, and combinations were formed for defense Suits were brought 'against two weak companies—the Deseret, in Utah, being one of them—with the purpose of'procuring ex parte decisions, to be used as a basis for injunctions. This trick, however, was discovered, and notwithstanding the “Page patent” was held as a red flag to ffigbteu off competitors, the Western Union uprjto the date of the orgrnization of the American (jnion telegraph company, never ! dared to t deliberately prosecute any claim for-infringement to a decree. When Gould started” the American Union company lie and Gen. T. T Eckert treated the claim that they were infringing the Page patent as preposterous, am J while they made answer in court they ridiculed the notion of an injunc tion being granted. When, however, Gould had obtained control of the Western Union bimseif; h« and General Eckert brought sinnlai suits against the Mutual Union and the American Rapid Telegraph companies Thet«e companies simply took the answer pre pared by Gould and Eckert in the former suits and filed it as their own reply to the al leged infringement. Nothing Las since been heard of the suit, and now the expiration of the patent consigns it to oblivion The pat ent lawyers who have often earned fat fees from the Western Union monopoly by argu ing the preposterous claim will mourn lheir less. Requiescat m pace MARTIAL LAW IN IOWA Bouncing an Auditor at th*- Point of a Bayonet Des Moines, la., March 21.—Arms and uniforms were stored in the governor’s ro4»m and Lieut. Kahne and eleven privates by or -1 der, assembled singly at the executive cham ber. Here Gen Alexander ordered the men to don their uniforms and get their muskets ' ready. Sheriff Painter meantime appeared at the auditor’s office in the old capitol and arrested both Auditor Brown and his deputy, Stewart. After some disclosures. Sheriff Painter sent to his office for a blank bail bond. “They come,” exclaimed the mail carrier to Brown, who, with Stewart and Painter, was in the hallway. Gen. Alexan der and his men marched up, and Mr Brown listened calmly to the executive order to . vacate his office, and he declined to do as re | quested. He had meantime ordered his clerks to lock the safe and protect the property and they had also locked the door. Gen. Alexan der ordered his men to break open the door, which they did with the butts of their mus kets, Brown and Stewart having interfered, Brown was roughly handled. Sheriff I Painter interfered and effacted a temporary truce. Auditor Cattell now appeared and sought to enter, but the young sentinel sternly refused, although Cattell gave his name and official rank. Gen. Alexander gently lowered the man’s bayonet and Cattell entered. His first act was to dismiss Brown’s clerks and install new men, but the safe wan | locked and the seal was not to be seeu. ’ Brown and Stewart were then taken off by the sheriff and Gen. Alexander does garrison duty at the auditor’s office. Brown has warned Treasurer Twombly not to allow Cattell to touch the insurance fees in his vaults. He says he feels “serene” in the justice of his cause. Murdered in the Woods. Wilkesbarre, Pa., March 21.—Three weeks ago Michael Stellman aud a compan ion named Edward Thomas set out to walk from Eckley to Highland, in this count Thomas arrived at H.goland aloue, an stated that Stellman started into the woods i.o find his hat, which blew off, and did not return. It being very cold, with a heavy snow on the ground, it was feared that he would be frozen to death, and searching par ties scoured the woods, but could find no trace of him.

March 21.—After reeding the journal the chair laid before the senate a memorial from the legislature of Maine, ad vocating the adjustment of differences in the International laws by the high court of arbi tration. Ref er nd to the committee on for eign relations. The resolution offered by Mr. Manderson authorizing the appointment of a committee of five senators to proceed to Alaska during the recess of congress and make certain in vestigations wns then laid before the senate. Mr. Van Wrek inquired why the resolu tion was framed ho that the committee on territories would have a selection of the com mittee. It was certainly a departure from the usual practice of appointing committee*. He calls I upon the chairman of that com mittee for information on the subject. Mr. Harrison referred the senator to his col league (Manderson), who introduced the reso lution, for the information he desired. Mr. Manderson desired the resolution re ferred to the committee on territories, but if the language of the resolution required a change that committee would probably make the necessary changes. I’he reply of his colleagues was not satis factory and Mr. Van Wyok proceeded to speak ou the resolution. He did not know how far this matter was to go He did not know whether or not the mover of the resolution speculated upon the exr, pease of this proposition. There had l>een provisions made for clerks of the committees; now it was proposed to go fur ther and send a committee to Alaska, just this side of the north pole. He supposed this commission would not be less expensive than the commisson to Central and South Amer ica. He then reviewed the action of the’ commission in hiring a Pullman palace car! to cross the continent, which cost $35 per day and aggregated $1,140. This proposed com mission probably needed bay rum and Flor-, ida water to perfume the concern. “Why,” continued the senator, “the ex-, penses of Central and South American , commissions up to January 1, amounts to six thousand dollars, and an account for services in Central America has not yet been received. Os course, it will be enormous. Before leaving New Orleans the expendi tures, including salaries, on account of this commission was about forty thousand dol lars, and the president of the commission never left the country, but resigned and drew more than four thousand dollars out of the United 'States treasury. The commission through to California consisted of two man and a boy.” [Laughter.] He denounced most emphatically the prac tice of what is termed “wholesale robbery of the government, ” and said -that he thought his party of colleagues should go slow on such extravagances. After a further debate on the subject a lively and somewhat exciting controversy took place. Mr. Vest taking the floor and re senting the remarks made by the senator from Nebraska (VanWyck) reflecting upon the members of the Central American i <tinmission. He said the gentleman from Nebraska referred to the expenditures on ac count of this commission as “robbery.” He would not stand by and hear such charge® made against his friend, Thomas C. Reynolds, who was a very honors hie gentleman, and if he traveled in a Pullman palace car it was because he considered it the proper way to iravel as a representative of a dignified United States commission and would not submit to such remarks about his friends. Tho senator had referred to a “boy’’ on the commission. “The ‘boy’” continued Mr. Vest, “is nearly fifty years of age aud has edited a prominent republican journal in the west.” The debate ceased. A resolution by Mr. Harrison rescinding the order giving Mr. Van Wyck’s committee power to investigate the Missouri river and employ a clerk during he recess was referred to that committee and the senate went into executive session. A Precedent Estalished. Washington, March 21.—United State® Circuit Judge Brewer in passing sentence upon Doolittle and Schaubacher, the Wabash strikers arrested at Hannibal, established a precedent that will be of interest to the em ployers of railroads in the hands of receiv ers. He said the men should have sought re dress by application to the court. If their grievances were real the court would order the receiver to see that it was remedied. In other words, if men in the employ of a cor poration controlled by the United States court hail their wages reduced by the mana gers of the corporation, the men could cite the manager to appear before the court and show cause for that action. If the court thought such action was unjust, an order would be issued prohibiting the change of the wages schedule. Appointment*. Washington, March 21.—The president sent the following nominations te£the senate: James D. Parker, Tennessee, to be assistant secretary of state; John D. Atkins, of Ten nessee, commissioner of Indian affairs; Sec ond Lieutenant Samuel W. Miller, fifth in ■ antry, to be first lieutenant; Second Lieu icnant Wm.
