NICARAGUA WILL PAY
She Accedes to the Com
promise Proposition
MONEY WILL BE PAID IN LONDON
Tli Kmu Given la That a Revolution
Would Follow Should the Indem
nity be Paid Before the
English ,emve.
Managua, Nicaragua, April 80. The
Nicaraguan government has formally de
cided to accede to the compromise pro
position for a settlement of the pending
troubles. This decision has been com
municated to the authorities at Wash-,
bington and London.
Nicaragua agrees to pay 15,000 in
London in fifteen days from the time
the British ships leave the harbor of
Corinto. This preliminary is strongly
insisted upon on account of the con
dition of feeling in the country, which
otherwise might render compliance with
the ultimatum even in its modified form
impossible. ' It now remains for Great
Britain to agree to this condition. Nica
ragua's course is regarded as shifting on
Great Britain f nrther responsibility for'
the trouble. The most positive assuran
ces of the payment of the money have
been given. - 1
Lon( Conference With the Nlcaragrnan
Minister.
Washington, April 30. The Nicara
gnan minister was again an early visitor
to the state department. He consulted
with Gresham and shortly after left the
building. The nature of the conference
is not known, but lit is presumed that
'Nicaragua has replied to the suggestion
made yesterday looking to a withdrawal
of British troops from her soil and the
payment of the indemnity.
That a revolution will follow in Nica
ragua if the indemnity is paid before
British ships leave their harbor, is not
doubted in well-informed circles here.
Hostility against England grows in in
tensity, and while qniet prevails in Cor
into, wild excitement exists in other
'towns and cities of the republic. Busi
neas is practically suspended. While
President Zelaya is generally' popular,
there is a strong party in the republic
which is ambitious of again succeeding
to the chief magistracy, and any surren
der to the British at .this time would be
playing into the hands of the Grenada
party.
International Liw Violated.
Rochester, N. Y., April 30. Ex
Congressman Van "Vorbis, of this district,
whom the English Member of Parlia
ment Cramer says insulted him on the
occasion of the later's visit to this conn
try in advocacy of a treaty between En
gland and the United States, for the
settlement of disputes between them by
arbitration, in and interview last night
said England's action in the Nicaraguan
case is a violation ef international law.
She would not dare, be declared, at
tempt to enforce her claims against the
United States for compensation for the
Canadian sealers. The United States
ought to notify England that the occupa
tion of Nicaragua will not be tolerated.
History Repeated.
Washington, April 30. Seventeen
years ago Nicaragua became involved in
controversy with Germany similar to
that which the republic now has with
England. The German consul was ar-
rested for indulging in a street fight, but
his identity "being recognized, be was re
leased. Germany demanded an apology,
and an indemnity. Several German
men-of-war were sent to Corinto, but
the German admiral did not permit bis
marines and sailors to land. Nicaragua
paid indemnity Great excitement pre
vailed at the time.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
The Examination Resumed.
San Francisco, April 30. Theodore
Durrant's examination on the charge of
murdering Minnie Williams was re
sumed in police court this morning. The
prisoner did not look as well as he did
last week. Dr. Barrett, the autopsy
physician, was called to the stand, and
the courtroom ordered cleared of ladies.
He testified that the murdered girl bad
been outraged prior to the murder, and
that her death was caused by suffocation
and hemorrhage.-' In his opinion the
wounds on the body were ante-mortem.
C. T. Hills next testified that he was
on Twenty-third and Bartlett streets on
Friday evening, the 12th inst., about
8:15, and saw a short, woman wearing a
cape meet a man there, who took her
arm and entered the side door of the
church with her. He did not see them
emerge. He staid only a few minutes
after? The woman wore a hat like the
turban. The witness, however, could
not identify the bat or cap when pro
duced in court. The man wore a coat
like Durrant's, which was also produced.
C. M. Johnson, clerk of the state board
of trade, says that Theodore Durrant and
a girl resembling Minnie Williams were
seen together in the state board of trade
rooms on the afternoon of April 12, the
date of Miss Williams' death. A page
from the visitors' register of that date
has been mysteriously torn from the
book.
Yesterday Detective Simmons, of Port
land, Or., and a member of the Pinker
ton force, who was formerly located at
the main office of the Pinkertons in
Chicago, but who has been recently in
Oregon, inspected the Immanuel BaptiBt
church with Detective Gibson, of the
local force, A long consultation on the
murders followed, daring which the
Pinkerton man took copious notes. The
appearance of the Pinkertons on the
scene is considered by people who have
watched the case closely as furnishing
strong reasons for hopefulness on the
part of the defense.

Cottolene the new shortening the
only pure and healthful and perfectly
digestible frying and shortening mate
rial in the market is now to be had at
all first-class grocers throughout the
United States and Canada.
In using; Cottolene for shortening,
it is of the greatest importance to use
only about one-half or two-thirds as
much, as would be used of lard. This
is essential to success in the cooking,
as well as an important feature for
one's pocket book.
Cottolene, like all other good things,
has found several imitators, all of very
inferior quality, and sure to cause dis
satisfaction. To be sure of getting the
genuine Cottolene, the best way to
buy it is in the tin pails bearing the
name and Trade-Mark.

caucus late last night and adopted a res
olution favoring the free coinage of silver

convention.
Any one who has ever had an atack
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with .Mr. J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate
escape from a siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr. Stumm is foreman of
Merrian'a confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room te run across the street on an
errand, he was caught out in the rain
The result was that when ready to go
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of & good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
especial pleasure in praising Chamber'
Iain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a
bottle of it in the house. For sale by
