London, May 1. It is learned on good
authority that Great Britian has agreed
to the . proposed settlement of her die
pate with Nicaragua if the payment ot
the indemnity ia guaranteed. It is aaid
the affair is practically settled.
' The following semi-official announce
ment was made this evening: The
statement that the Salvadorean minister
submitted to Great Britain on behalf of
Nicaragua 'certain propositions is cor
rect. The matter is now being consid
ered, and if reasonable security is given
for the fulfillment of any undertaking to
comply with Great Britain's demands
the matter will be arranged without in
flicting further humiliation.
Nicaragua Offer Amplest Guarantee to
- Great Britain.
. Washington, May 1. The guarantee
of the payment by Nicaragua of the in
demnity as required by Great Britain
will be made in the ablest manner possi
ble, so there appears to be no further
obstacles between the two countries as
to the final adjustment. The guarantee
will be in any one of several forms as
follows: -.) .:r : t " : : ' '
First The promise of the Nicaraguan
government, which as a government has
never defaulted in its obligations, and is
of itself regarded as guarantee. '
Second The Bank of Nicaragua, a
national . institution,' with a recognized
standing in London, will, if need be
given, guarantee it.
Third The" republic of Guatemala,
one of the richest of the Central' Ameri
. can states, stands'ready to deposit 100,-
000 in a London bank if Nicaragua de
sires the favor. ' 1 ' ' .
Fourth The Nicaragua Canal Com
pany, whose word in London will be ac
ceDtable in tbd highest financial circled.
W11 give either a guarantee or the cash
if need be. '.' - ' ' ." ''
" Will Rebel If It is Paid..
Colon, May 1. It ia reported from
San Juan del Sur that there is every
probability of a revolution breaking out
in Nicaragua if the government yields to
the demands of Great Britain. If the
present government ot Nicaragua fails,
it is contended it will not be possible to
adjust the claims of Great Britain, and
this probability is likely to provoke an
Uneasiness felt.
Washington, May 1. Officials ex
press fear that there may be' a' hitch In
.1 V .? L a. ,1 -
the possibility of the entire failure of
the agreement has not been passed.
This view is based upon the significant
fact that no confirmation of Great Bri
tain's acceptance of the terms has been
received at the' state department, at the
British embassy, or at the Nicaraguan
legation. '-'
Not Liked- la Guatemala.
' New York, May J. A . special to the
World from Guatemala saysr ' "The in
formation .that' Nicaragua' has acceded
to the' demands of England was badly
received here. It is considered as estab
lishing a precedent nnder which Eng.
.'land can ill-treat other Central Ameri
can states." '- . ' -'. "-
" " Disapproved in New York.
AiBAiriy N. T.;- May 1. In the as
eembly today s resolution in condemna
tion regarding the British-Nicaraguan
affair was introduced by Representative
Ainsworth, a republican leader, 1 and
adopted 91 to 15. -
- Hoke Smith Talks.
Macon, Ga.f May 1. Secretary Hoke
Smith, of the interior department, was
interviewed here last night on the finan
cial question, and defined the differences
of opinion on the currency question ex
isting in the country at present. He
thought that in the next 12 mouths a
thorough discussion of the money ques
tion would be presented all Over the
country.- - This - discussion -would be
limited, he thought, to' the proposition
for the unlimited coinage of silver at a
ratio of 16 to 1. -"---
The secretary divided the people into
three classes gold monometalists, silver
monometalists and bimetalists. Be did
not think the gold monometalists were
strong enough to become a factor in the
campaign, but that the issue would be
for . and against silver monometaliem.
He thought the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the present ratio by this
country alone would mean nothing more
nor less than monometaliem, for if, nn
der that system, the price of silver bull
ion was materially advanced, no other
metal would be preeented at the mints
for coinage. ,. . . .
The secretary thought the agitation of
the question was- checking the return of
prosperity, but he hoped that the plan
of ' the silver men would be defeated
without doing the country serious injury.
In conclusion, Secretary Smith said :
"I have no doubt that the next presi
dent of the United States will be opposed
to the unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.". ....
' In His Own Behalf. '
Dxnvbb, April 30. Richard Demady
was placed on the witness stand 'this
morning in his own behalf in the strang
ling murder case. He proved a good
witness, carefully .detailing his move
ments at the time of finding the body of
Lena Tapper. He denied in tedious de
tail the most important testimony of the
witnesses for the state,' but admitted
having paid Mike Ryan $100 to be used
in the justice's court, and said Ryan bad
frightened him into doing this by 'saying
that if the case got beyond the justice's
court there was no hope for him. He
further testified that Ryan had attempt
ed to extort '$200 from him on another
occasion without success. The witness
was cool and collected, and when crowd
ed with questions by the prosecuting at
torney, cautioned his . interlocutor, "Do
not get excited ; we are' here before the
jury.'; - The cross-examination was not
concluded at adjournment.
- " Sensation In a Courtroom.
Fort Scott, Kan., April 30.--As the
case of Noah Strevel, charged with cut
ting his father's throat, was being argued
before the jury yesterday, Dan At her ton,
a brother-in-law of the accused, took an
ounce of carbolic acid in court. ' It was
said that he left a statement confessing
he committed the' crime, but it will not
be made public until his death, which,
the doctors say, will probably occur be
fore tomorrow morning:
He and the accused man have been
enemies for three years, and spoke to
each other for the first time in the court
room. ." Atherton's wife and his sister,
who is the wile of the accused, gave the
most damaging evidence against young
Strevel '' Bis' attempt' at suicide will
probably have an effect on the jury.
. Their Bands Tied. -
Kansas City,- April 30. At the Nov
ember elections in Kansas City gross
frauds are' said to have been committed
The matter was brought before the grand
jury, ' which 'called' pri the recorder of
voters to! produce the ballot boxes for
their inspection. ' The recorder demurred
lint)-the case: was finally .taken td the
supreme court for adjudication. The
court today denied the right of the crim
inal court to compel the recorder to pro
duce the ballot boxes. Giving the grand
jury a right to inspect the ballot boxes,
the court holds, would violate the secrecy
of the ballot as well as be an infringe,
ment of the constitution. ' "

ailment. - Mr. - Stumm is; foreman of
Merrian's confectionery establishment.
Some months ago', on leaving the heated
work room to 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 nnable to walk,
owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of a 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
