Manager Vendiz Sends $5,000 to the Stake- holder, bnt Says That the Fight Must loot—Brady Is Willing. NEW YORK, April 30.-——Joe Vendig, the manager of the Florida Athletic, club, un- der whose auspices James J. Corbett and Robert Fitzsimmons are to battle for the heavyweight championship of the world next September, says that he has mailed the stakeholder of the fight a check for $5,- 000, the amount which he and Fitzsim- mons had the dispute about a Week ago. The $5, 000 in question will stand as a for-p, felt and will be divided between Corbett and Fitzsimmons if the Florida Athletic club fails to bring off'the fight at the time and place to be appointed on July 1. ”I still maintain, " said Mr. Vendig, “that the Florida Athletic club can hold the contest in any part of the United States, according to the articles of agree- ment. I have consulted my lawyer in re- gard to the matter. and he says that the agreement justifies the position the club has taken with reference to the battle ground. Fitzsimmons says he is willing to live up to the articles of agreement. So is our club, and I think Ihave proved this conclusively. We have paid, Corbett and Fitzsimmons each $1,000 as per agreement and have posted the $5, 000 forfeit money with the stakeholder. Vendig’s Shrewd Point. “According to the articles which they signed, Corbett and Fitzsimmons agreed to post $5, 000 each with the stakeholder as a guarantee that they will be in the ring on the date of the contest. Neither prin- cipal, however, has done so as yet, but the money will probably be forthcoming when they learn of my action about the club’s forfeit. - “The clause in the articles of agreement which I claim gives me the right to hold the battle any place in America I may name reads as follows: ‘Each of the principals hereby agrees to post in the hands of the final stakeholder the sum of $5, 000 to guar- antee their appearance in the ring.’ If that clause read thus. ITo guarantee their appearance in the ring at Jacksonville, Fla.,’ I would have no claim whatever to the selection of a battleground outside of Florida, but as it is I have a cast iron cinch on the fight. “A club can be incorporated in any state, but nobody can prevent it from de- ing business in another state. Our money is up, and I hope Fitzsimmbns will put up his $5,000, and that Corbett will do like~ wise. We will name the place and date of, the fight on July 1, and if we fail to bring it off, Corbett and Fitzsimmons will re- ceive all the money coming to them.” Manager William A. Brady said he felt quite sure that the fight would take place. “Corbett and I,” said Mr. Brady, “believe that Vendig’s claim on behalf of' the Flor- ida Athletic club is a just one, and. Cor- bett will fight Fitzsimmons at any place Vendig names in the United States, ' We don’t care whether it is in Gowan ~ or California. Vendig’s position is perfectly tenable. He asks for nothing that'is not consistent with the agreement, and Cor- bett proposes to stand by the club. The Florida Athletic club is the only club that ever put up so much money to guarantee its ability to bring a big glove contest to a successful conclusion. The Olympic club of New Orleans did not put up a cent as a guarantee the Sullivan-Corbett fight would take place as advertised. Fltz’s Farewell Opportunity. "Fitz is a lucky man to get this match. and he had better not break, for he may never get the chance again. If Fitzsim- mcns hadn’t made good the last install- ment of the stake money, Corbett intend- ed going to England and fighting Peter Jackson. Corbett intends to fight only one more battle. He wants that contestant to be Fitzsimmons, because he can get more money for defeating him than he can for beating anybody else. His company will disband on next Saturday night in St. Louis, and he will come east and second Steve O’Donnell in his fight with Jake Kilrain, before the Seaside Athletic club, at Coney Island, on May 6. After that he will go to Hot Springs and California, to have a good time. This over, he will go to Asbury Park on June 1 and begin training for his fight with Fitzsimmons. I will send a checkfor $5, 000 to the stake- holder tc guarantee ‘Corbett’s appearance in the ring.” Wilde's Trial Resumed. LONDON. April ,80.—-The trial of Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor was resumed in the central criminal court, Old Bailey, today. A number of letters written by the prisoners to young Mayor and others Were read.

Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side.

Nlculeuplunn And 'Theyliay Fight if the British Attempt to Go Too Far. ENGLISH FLAG STILL FLIES. ‘No Material Change In the Situation at Corinto—The Consulate at Managua Guarded4-Englislr Press Opin- ions of the Imbroglio. MANAGUA, Nicaragua, via Galveston, April 30.—The commander of the Nica- raguan troops on the mainland of Nica~ ragua reported today that the British flag was still floating over the public buildings of Corintc and that the port remained in possession of the British warships. Among the Nicaraguan troops and populace the greatest excitement prevails, and the feel- ing against Great Britain is increasing in bitterness every hour. The Nicaraguan troops are still massed along the 'Paso Ca- ballo, and it is believed they may open fire on the British should the latter make any attempt to cross from Corintc to the main- land behind it. Steps have been taken to destroy means of communicating with the . interior should such action be found nec- essary. _ The British consulate in this city re- mains under guard in view of the rioting and stone throwing which have already oc- curred and in anticipation of further trou- ble. Some of the European consuls here are using their good offices with the gov- ernment of Nicaragua in an attempt to persuade the latter to submit to Great Britain, pleading in sup crt of their argu- ments the fact that the nited States has determined to remain neutral and that Nicaragua is helpless when opposed to such a power as Great Britain. Although the Nicaraguan forces opposite Corintc are in communication with the capital, actual telegraphic communication with Corintc remains interrupted, and it is thought likely that there will be no at- tempt to repair the telegraph lines so long as the British remain in possession of the ort. p People Sustain. the Government. In spite of reports to the contrary, the people of Nicaragua generally sustain the government in the stand which it has tak- en against Great Britain, and although, in all probability, Nicaragua may eventually be compelled .to pay the indemnity dc- manded it is"believed that the trade of Great Britain-with Nicaragua and other Central American republics will suffer in consequence of the action of the British fleet at Corintc. . The British squadron, Rear Admiral Stephenson commanding, arrived at Go- rintc on April 22 and on,the following day communicated with the government of Nicaragua, requiring compliance with the British ultimatum demanding the pay- ment of over $75,000 as indemnity for the expulsion from Nicaragua of the British consular agent at Bluefields, Mr. Hatch, and other British subjects. When the Nicaraguan government refused to comply with these demands, the British occupied Corintc in spite of the protest of the Ni- caraguan authorities, and the troops of N i- caragua retired from the island of Corintc and occupied positions on the mainland, Which positions are now being strength- ened and re-enforced. The British govern- or in command at Corintc has charge of the custom house,'but as the Nicaraguan government has declared the port closed it is difficult to see how he will be able to collect custom dues there. It will be remembered that the presi- dent of Nicaragua, Senor Zelaya, replying to an inquiry of the press as to the position of N icaragua, telegraphed Saturday as fol- lows from Managua: "Nicaragua protests before all nations against the outrage which Great Britain has perpetrated upon her by - the mili- tary occupation of the port of Corintc in order to seize from her by force a sum of money which she does not owe, in abso- lute disregard of international laws and of the dictates of right, justice and equity. Nicaragua, although counting upon the sympathy of all, as she is powerless to op- pose the force of the aggressor, is ready to submit the case without fear, bowailing, as she does, her smallness and her weak- ness. ” English Press Opinions. LONDON, April 30.—-The Pall Mall Ga- zette this afternoon. commenting upon the occupation of Corintc by the British squadron under Rear Admiral Stephen- son, says: “We do not want to hurt Ni- caragua, but only to teach her manners. The world will smile at President Zelaya’s memorial. He bewails Nicaragua’s small- ness and Weakness. Wefgncy that is one point in which the world regards Nicara- gua with satisfaction. Imaginea hornet as big and strong as an elephant!” The St. James Gazette. this afternoon, referring to the same subject, remarks: “Great Britain has at length taken proper measures with the insolent. anarchical lit- tle Spanish-American republic. If the barbarian republics did not calculate upon the final protection of the United States, they would behave themselves. The Men- roe doctrine has been the peg for much foolish declamation. It is apparently un- derstood to mean that the United States is prepared to protect every Spanish-Amen ican half breed who thinks it fit to rob a European. Of course this is nonsense, but the most nonsensical delusion upon which people are prepared to act has prac- tical importance. The Nicaraguans and Venezuelans do not understand that the noisy elegfiioneering swagger of certain pa- pers in America will not influence the ac- tion of the federal government. We are now determined to stop the intolerant in- solence and aggression of these caricatures of civilized states. We began with N1- caragua, and it is understood that we in- ’ tend to continue with Venezuela.” ‘ Patronizing Uncle Sam. Comment-ing upon the talk of a general alliance between Great Britain and the United States, the St. James Gazette says: “We would rather have it (the alli- ance) with the United States than with any other people, but a standing oflcn: sive and defensive agreement is a compre- mising thins Both. sides faiths agreement would'abt together lri'a' defined ITe'gIfii for a limited number of objects. Another matter is that the interests of Great Brit- ain and the United'States in Central Amer- ica and parts of South America are-iden- tical. We do not intend to make conquests anywhere in America, and therefore the United States has no ground for jealousy. Both nations desire to trade in peace and are molested by Spanish-American an- archy. This, then, is the proper. founda- tion for allied action. If the United States is prepared to act with us, we are very well disposed to accept the co-operaticn. ” The Globe this afternoon, referring edi- torially to the trouble between Great Brit- ain and Nicaragua, says: “The ’situation in Nicaragua is more suggestive of opera bouffe than the prosaic 'actualities of ordi- nary life. The Monroe doctrine is not an axiom of international law, or, so far as We are aWare, binding upon anybody save its inventor, President Monroe. The pro- posed canal may possibly give Nicaragua importance in American eyes which she otherwise does not possess; but, in spite of tall talk in irresponsible American neWSpapers, We are glad to note that the government of the United States does not show a desire to quarrel with Great Brit- ain over the Monroe doctrine. ” mammalmmusrmuuntrlumsnllmuuilslm.
