HAS MONEY ENOUGH

TALK OF A DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE
Serious Charge Against Official of
Ecuador Enclisli Papers Praise
That Nations Magnanimity.
New York, May 3. A special to the
World from Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
ays :
"A telegram from Managua ' reports
that Nicaragua has money enough to
pay the indemnity England requires,
but not . enough to meet the extra
expenses of sending the squadron to
collect the bill if that should be demand
ed. "The government of Honduras has
made an earnest appeal to the other
Central American states for a defensive
alliance, saying it is now known that
nothing can be expected from the United
States."
MAGNANIMOUS ENGLAND.
Bar Generosity Praised by an Kngllsh
Paper.
London, May 3. The Chronicle says :
"The settlement with Nicaragua is mag
nanimous on the part of the stronger
nation which is in the right. The Nica
raguans calculated on the influence of a
certain mad group of American politic
ians to overweigh the sensible, well-informed
opinion of the general public and
embroil the two branches of the Anglo
Saxon family. Of course they failed and
- Nicaragua promised to pay. Another of
the Central American republics guaran
teed the amount. The microscopic
'gyrating communities escape the langh-
V . ter which is their due, but they must
'earn occasionally that they go too far in
applying their own methods to civilized
and serious nations."
guilty or innocent of the charge, is a sub
ject for pathotlogical treatment, and not
for the laws of vengeance. This course
is said to be contemplated by Sir Ed
ward Clarke in opposition to the wishes
of Wilde's relatives. Great secrecy is
being observed in the matter and none
of those concerned will talk about it.
There is do suggestion that any of
Wilde's ancestors were afflicted, even in
a remote war, with the form of degener
acy attributed to him. The heriditary
problem is far more complex than that.
Many forms of nervous disease in parents
might produce in the child pathelogkal
conditions that would, unlees checked,
bring him within the reach of the law.
This is generally ackdowledged by phy
sicians and the profession is delighted
at the prospect of this point of view be
coming the issue at law.
Sir William Wilde, Oscar's father, was
remarkably eccentric, although almost a
genius as an oculist and as an antiquar
ian. Oscar Wilde has long been regarded
as a subject of the form of insanity called
by the French "folie ambitieuse" the
signs of which are inordinate vanity and
thirst for notoriety.
Fearful Aecldent at South Action Today
South Action, Mass., May 3. Three
mills of the American Powder Company
here blew up this morning, one after
another, inside of 15 minutes. Five per
sons are believed to have been killed.
The woods close by the mills were set
on fire and burned fiercely, threatening
the biggest storehouse of the company,
containing 20,000 pounds of powder, and
preventing the saving of the property.
Fifty men were employed in the mills.
After the first explosion the employes in
the Corning mills, about 40 in number,
rushed from the building and escaped
before the flames spread to the mill.
There were ten mills separated and in
closed by a high board fence. The ex
plosion in the first mill set fire to the
surrounding fence and tbe flames spread
to the second and third mills.
Indicted for Piracy.
New York, May 3. Advices received
V in this city from Ecuador last night say
that Modesto Soloranzo, consul-general
at this port; ex-Governor of Guayas J.
M. F. Camanon and Senor Noguera, con
sul for Ecuador at Valparaiso, Chili,
have been indicted by the supreme court
. - on the charge of piracy for participating
in the Esmeralda scandal.
Senor Soloranzo was appointed to his
office last May by President Corodoro,
who has just resigned. Since his sus
pension, his consular duties have been
performed by Climico Calderon, tbe
Columbian consul-general.
Canadian Gold Fever.
Quebec, May 3. A gold fever unpre
cedented in Canadian history is reported
in what is known as the Rainy
. Lake region of Ontario, in the wild and
almost inaccessible territory that is best
reached either from Port Arthur or from
the mining lands on the Minnesota side
of the lake. There are now probably
twenty-five hundred men in a small dis
trict where, with the exception of In
dians, not a man was to be found a year
ago. The miners are rushing in rapidly,
coming from all parts of the world.
A Victim of Mania.
New York, May 3. A London cable
to a morning paper says : "Oscar Wilde
,is now said by his friends to be the vie
tim of mania. Dr. Forbes Winslow and
Dr. Blandford, eminent specialists in
( diseases of the mind, are busily occupied
in investigating the record of the Wilde
family and preparing a diagnosis of the
patient's mental and physical condition.
It is more than likely that when Oscar
Wilde is next placed on trial, the testi
mony of these learned men will be made
a feature of tbe defense, in order to off
set the possibility of the next jury find
ing him guilty of the charges brought
against him. Tbe plea will be that be
A Lsks Steamer and Her Cargo Burned.
Port Colbobnb, Ont., May 3. The
schooner J . S. Richards, which arrived
here today, reported sighting a large
steamer on fire on the beach on Morgan's
point.
Tbe steamer is the N. E. Fair bank,
due here last night, loaded with 90,400
bushels of corn, bound from Chicago to
Ogdensburg, owned by John H. Barlow,
of Cleveland, and valued at $30,000. .
The Fairbank's mate and crew arrived
here in the ship's yawl sometime after
the schooner Richards. The mate states
the Fairbank went ashore about 2 o'clock
this morning. All hands were put to
work throwing corn overboard. While
thus engaged, fire was discovered in the
forecastle forward. The steamer burned
to the water's edge. Tbe captain re
mained on shore near the wreck'.
Fine Body of Ore Found Near Lead-
Till.
Leadvtlle, Co'o., May 3. The Mod
ern Gold Mining Company has caught a
fine body of gold ore in its Deer shaft.
It shows 3 feet of ore, and assays as
high as 10 ounces to the ton. It also
runs from 10 to 38 per cent lead to tbe
ton. Tbe strike is , doubly important
from the fact that this is tbe first strike
of mineral of any importance east of the
celebrated Little Johnny gold mine on
Breece hill, and proves that the entire
plane east of tbe Johnny is mineralized
The Modern company is composed of
Eastern and Colorado capitalists.

Anyone who has ever had an a tack
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'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 unable 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

World from Caracus, Venzuela, says
It is believed here that as soon as Eng
land is through with Nicaragua she will
turn ber attention to Venzuela. The
trouble with France is more complicated
It is feared that she will follow Eng
land's example.
