Washington, April 24. Exact official

blockade. The coast-defense vessel
Monterey is still at Acapulco, Mexico,
about 800 miles north of Corinto. She
is expected to sail southward very soon,
but no special orders have been sent her
since she sailed from San Diego.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua
to yield expires tolnorrow, and the
blockade, etc., is to begin immediately
afterward. There is. good reason to be
lieve that Nicaragua will not yield, but
will allow the British troops to occupy
Corinto in order that conspicuous atten-

' President Zelaya Notified.
Mar aqua, April 24. The British ad
' miral has notified President Zelaya that
the three days given Nicaragua to com-
ply. with the terms of the ultimatum will
expire tomorrow. The failure -to pay
the indemnity will - be followed by a
r seizure of. the custom-house at Corinto
and collection of the duties by British
8Utjcts, presumably officers, of the fleet

- the money if opposition is made. Great
excitement exists. The government if
it.is reported, wilt refuse to pay the in
demmtv and will abandon Uorinto as a
port of entry. ..The , belief is general
here that if Great Britain obtains pos-
- session of Corinto she will continue to
' occupy it, as she has occupied territory
. in Eypt and other countries where she
obtained a foothold.
Special fleeting- Held.
Washington. April 24- Grehairi had
a long interview with Pauncefote today,
and also saw Minister Guzman of Nica
ragua, who communicated .to him the
intelligence he had from his government.
Very shortly afterwards members of the
cabinet drove out to Woodley, the presi
dent's country home, where a special
cabinet meeting was held.
The - JJrttlslt . Blockade of -Nicaragua

Washington, April 24. feeports from
Nicaragua confirm the statement that
the blockade, ot Nicaraguan ports by
: Great Britain will be the means of exe
cuting her demands. The understand
ing is the blockade is to begin next Pat
- nrday. There is good reason to , believe
the demands will .not be altered,' re
duced or compromised in the slightest
particular. Oue of the main purposes
of,'reat Britain ,is to , administer- a les
son to Nicaragua, and, indirectly, to all
eontherti republics as to British methods
of redress. ' : o' : "

today authorized the Associated Press to

BO -ne time' ago to insist upon Nicaragua's
compliance with the terms of the ulti
matum of Great Britain or, failing such
compliance, to blockade the port of Cor
in'.o, seize the customs within two dajs
after and thus enforce satisfaction from
Nicaragua for the insolence with which
British subjects have been treated.
An English View.
London, April 24. The Chronicle,
commenting on the presence of English
warships at Corinto, Nicaragua, savs it
shows the affafr is nearing a crisis. Nic
aragua is evidently working on the sym
pathy of the United States, but if the lat
ter country takes these tmalf republics
under its protection she must impress up
on them the importance of maintaining
international: observances. The paper
declares the .'Monroe doctrine is good
enough in its way, but can hardly . pre
vent a European power from obtaining
redress for an insult.

Minister's Testimony In Durrani's
Examination. . ,
San Francisco, April 24. Theodore
Durrant passed a quiet night and when
he appeared in Judge Conlon'a court
room this morning was as refreshed and
sell-composed as ever. . He conversed
with his attorneys earnestly, for - some
time before court opened.
H. K. Snook, the undertaker, who was
called to the church by Dr. Gibson and
Dentist King to look after the body of
Miss Williams, who was the first wit
ness.' He said that he had known Miss
Williams in life three months, and bad
known Durrant for two years, . He des-,
cribed the position of the body and gave
several unimportant details tn . the con
dition of the body.
Mrs. Amelia Voy, with , whom Miss
Williams was to stop before going to Ta
coma, testified that Miss Williams had
come to her. house on the afternoon of
the murder, and had left about 8 o'clock
alone. Mrs Voy was not allowed to tell
where Miss Williams was going. Mrs.
.Voy identified the clothes worn by the
dead girl - when she left the house and
Which were found on the murdered girl.:
Adolph Hobe, of. Oakland, testified
that he bad seen Durrant with whom he
was acquainted, at. the ferry on the after
noon of the 12th. Hobe says that Dur
rant was in the company of a young lady
smaller than himself, i. He did . not see
the lady's face, but she wore a cape.
He did not speak toi Durrant.
Mies Florence Voy corroborated her
mother's testimony. , ..
' Half a (Iozhh witnesses for the prose
cution failed to respond to their names.
- Dr. Gibson was the next witness
called. He answered the questions put
to him in a loud, clear voice. Dr. Gib
son said that he had eeen Durrant on
Good Friday night, at the Christian
Endeavor meeting held at Dr. Vogel's
home. He thought Durrant came to the
meeting ahout 9:30 o'clock;," after the
conclusion of the business meeting.
Durrant remained until the party broke
up. The witness had seen Durrant in
the library of the church alone one week
before the 17th of March. He bad
known that a new lock had been put on
the library door, but was not allowed to
tell why, on motion of the defense. He
did not have a key for the new lock.
Witness was at the church on the morn
ing that the body of Miss Williams' was
found.' He heard a noise in the church,
but did not investigate. The janitor's
boy came and told him that the library
lock was broken. He went to see about
it, hut for .some reason did not open the
door. He went to his -lodging-house and
was, later informed as to th finding of
the body by Mrs. NoltJ ; He went to the
church with Dr. King, father of. George
King.' Dr. ihson save some informa
tion as to his past life. He was born in
Edinborough, in 1857, came to America
in 1888, and went to Red Bluff, thence to
this city last November. He had known
Mies Williams. He saw her for the last
time to his certain knowledge, March 2,
in the,. Sunday school room when she
told him fixe was going away and bid
him good bye.

A close investigation of the washroom
in Emanuel church was made yesterday.
This room could only have been reached
by some one thoroughly familiar with
the building. Besides a , number of
stains on the washbowl, they' are num
erous on the splashers surrounding it.
Blood stains have also been found on the
walls leading to the washroom. -': The ex
tent of tbeblood-stains go to prove that
the murderer had no light, for a judic
ious person, as his actions prove him.
would not. have spattered so much blood
around had be seen what be was doing.
The blood-stained coat, which ws
brought to light in Berkeley on Monday,
has caused a sensation there, but there
is considerable difficulty in determining
the date on which it .was" found. Mrs.
Boil lot, with whom the package was left,
tells three different stories as to the dale
on which a strange man asked permis
sion to leave a bundle at her home for a
few hours. Mrs. Boil lot says the man
resembled Durrant very much, and she
believes she could identify him.
