JOHN BUlLSlTlSllED.
He Will Accept Nicaragua’s Money
and Withdraw His Fleet.
rs}: EPISODE NEARLY ENDED
Now Poor Little Nicaragua Is Threatened
With a Private Little War of Her
Own For Having Yielded to
Great Britain’s Demands.
LONDON, May 2.—-It is learned on good
authority that Great Britain has agreed to
the proposed settlement of her dispute with
Nicaragua, if the payment of the indem-
nity is guaranteed. ’In'this case the Brit-
ish fleet will immediately withdraw from
Corinto. It is not known what guarantee
Great Britain demands for the payment of
the indemnity, but it is believed in offi-
cial circles that the afiair is now practical-
ly settled.
Ample Guarantees Ofi‘ered.
WASHINGTON, May 2.—The guarantee of
the payment by Nicaragua of the indem-
nity as required by Great Britain will be
made in the amplest manner possible. It
will be in any one of several forms as fol-
lows: ‘
First—The promise of the Nicaragua
government, which, in view of the fact
that the government has never defaulted
on its obligations, is itself regarded as a
guarantee. '
Second—The bank of Nicaragua, 3 na-
tional institution, with recognized stand-
ing in London, will, if. need be, give the
guarantee.
Third—The republic of Guatemala, one
of the richest of Central America states,
stands ready to deposit £15,500 in a Lon-
don bank if Nicaragua desires the favor.
Fourth—The Nicaragua Canal com-
pany. whose Word in London would be ac-
ceptable in the highest financial circles,
will give either a guarantee or the cash if
need be.
Besides these guarantees, any one of
Which is available and is regarded as am-
ple, the Nicaraguan authorities are said to
have the actual funds immediately availa—
ble without calling for outside help. A
guarantee by the United States is not re-
garded as essential under the foregoing
circumstances.
Moro Trouble For Nicaragua.
COLON, Colombia, May 2.-—It is report-
ed hero from San Juan del Sur that there
is every probability of a revolution break-
ing out in Nicaragua if the government of
that republic yields to the demands of
Great Britain. If the present government
of Nicaragua fails, it is contended that it
will not be possible to adjust the claims
of Great Britain, and that it may probably
provoke an armed conflict.
British In Corinto.
MANAGUA. May 2.-—-Whon the British
took possession of Corinto, they found"
that the town had not only been practi-
cally abandoned by its residents. but that
every efiort had been made to prevent any
but real property from falling into their
hands. All the goods, etc., that had been
entered and warehoused at the port had
been removed, and no articles of export
could be found. their receipt having been
stopped when it became positively known
that the British would take possession of
the place. All trade at the port has been
abandoned, and the Pacific Mail steamers
no longer call there since the government
declared the place to be no longer a port of
entry. Nicaragua was well within her
rights when she adopted this course, and
the possession by the British of a deserted
town, where not a dollar’s worth of mari~
time business is being done. affords amuse-
ment to those who are not interested in
the dispute except as observers.
Martial law was proclaimed by the gov-
ernment on Wednesday last, and on Sat—
urday morning the British occupied the
town, landing altogether 400 armed offi—
cers and men at four different places on
the island, only to find, as stated above,
that they had seized a deserted port.
The United States’ Position.
Considerable comment has been caused
by the seeming indisposition of the United
States to more actively intervene in the
dispute, some prommcnt persons holding
that she should have gone far in support
of the Monroe doctrine, but the general
feeling is that if the trouble is settled hon-
orably to both disputants thanks will be
owing to the United States.
Many prominent citizens have conferred
with President chaya on this aspect of the
situation. and also upon the possible he-
cessity of submitting to Great Britain’s
demands should she decline to entertain
the proposal for a compromise. A major-
ity are anxious to continue the efforts to
adjust the trouble through arbitration and
regain possession of thcctcrritory now un-
der the British flag.
Europeans here are endeavoring to are
ate prejudice against the United States,
advancing as an argument that she is in—
different to Nicaragua’s subjugation and
to the Monroe doctrine.
A popular loan has been started for the
purpose of furnishing the government
with the money to pay the British de-
mands. Ono Englishman, it is stated, has
already cabled a subscription of £4, 000
to the loan. It is thought that his object
is not so much to help Nicaragua out of
her difficulty as to secure and retain his
control of the lntcroceanic transportation
business of the country. ,
The British have prohibited intercourse
between the island of Corinto and the
mainland.
A fact of importance to the, United
States is contained in a statement that a
party otfirltish engineers have been land-
ed without opposition at San Juan del
Sur. and that they are engaged in making
sketches and taking photographs of that
place and of the canal route toward Brito.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, May 2.—It is
reported that the volcano of J orullo, in the
state of Michiscan, is showing unusual
signs of activity. probably caused by the
outbreak of the Colima volcano- Should
J orullo come into play again the aspect of
affairs along the west coast country would

ALBANY, May 2.——The special commit-
tee of the assembly, of which Philip W.
Reinhard, Jr., is chairman, which has
been investigating the condition of labOI'n
ing women in New York city today sub-
mitted its report to the assom bly, and it
was ordered printed. The report says:
"The committee has had eight sittings
in the city of New York, at which 95 wit-
nesses have been examined, and has inves-
tigated to some extent two classes of es-
tablishments where women are employed
———first, the dry goods and mercantile
houses; second, the work places known as
sweatshops. ‘
“In the investigation into the condition
of female labor in the dry goods establish-
ments the committee has examined a num-
ber ofcmployers and a number of experts
interested in the welfare of the employees.
The committee has ascertained to somes'ex-
tent the ages of children employed, the
wages paid to female employees, the hours
of labor, the vacations, the systems of fines
and discipline and the sanitary conditions
prevailing in the large mercantile estab-
lishments.
“From the examination thus far had it
appears that in these establishments the
working day is from 8 a. in. to 6 p. m.,
with from 30 to 45 minutes for lunch, ex-
cept on Saturday, when in many stores
the employees work until 9 and 10 p. m.,
except also for a period of from 10 to 14
days during thc~Christmas holidays, when
the employees remain until 9 and 11 p. in.
without extra compensation.
About Truants.
“The inspection of mercantile houses by
the board of education in the city of New
York through its attendance officers is not
as thoroug‘}1 as the law and the necessities ,
demand. These officers appear to rely
largely upon the statements, unverified,
of the employers of the various mercantile
establishments and not .upon a personal
inspection. It is claimed by tho superin-
tondent of. public schools of the city of
New York that his force of truancy officers
is insufficient. Whatever may be the cause
of such inadequate inspection, it is imper-
ative that some means should be employed
to stringently enforce the truancy laws.
”The committee has further ascertained
from the testimony of employers that,
from their standpoint, there is no need for
the employment of children under 14 years
of age. and suggests that it should be a
matter of careful considerajon on the part
of the legislature to inquire into the advis-
ability of enacting a law which should ab-
solutely prevent the employment of chil-
dren under said age.
“ Up to the present time it has been im-
possible for the committee to examine any
of the employees of the large mercantile
establishments by reason of the fact that it
has been stated to the committee that the
employees are afraid of testifying truth-
fully as to the exact existing conditions.
Whether this fear is well founded or not,
it is apparent to the committee that the
only satisfactory way to examine these
witnesses is at executive sessions where no
emplOyers are present, and the commit-tee
believes that it cannot ascertain the whole
truth unless it has the opportunity to hold
such executive sessions and supplement
them by personal investigations of a fair
number of representative mercantile estab-
lishments. ,
“The committee further finds that the
law requiring employers to provide seats
for female employees (chapter 298. laws
1886) has not been generally observed. and
to be of any value must be amended so as
to make it more definite and thereby ca-
pable of enforcement.
Sweatshop Violations.
“In regard ,to ‘swcatshops.’ the com-
mittee has been able thus far to examine
to any extent only into the condition of 1a-
bor employed by manufacturers of cloth-
ing. The committee has ascertained that
there is a general and constant violation
of the factory laws and of the rules and
regulations of the board of health by per-
sons who employ labor in the shops and
tenement houses in the section of the city
known as the down town east side.
“From the testimony already had the
committee is of the opinion that large
numbers of persons are employed in tene-
ment houses in flagrant violation of the
factory law, and that. great danger con-
stantly threatens the community by reason
of the infection of clothing.
“It is clear to the committee that legis-
lation is needed in order to protect public
health and welfare, and that some further
and more stringent legislation is demand-
ed with which to deal with the problem of
goods manufactured in tenement houses.
”Another, existing evil is the employ.
ment of child labor contrary to law.
“It has been made very plain to your
committee that the so called parents’ cer-
tificates, by which factory inspectors and
truancy officers are obliged to be governed,
are in a great many cases worthless, for
the reason that parents who are willing to
let their children work under age are often
equally willing to swear that these chil-
dren are of legal age.
Small Wages of Children.
“The committee has also found that of
the shops investigated a great number are
in a dangerously insanitary condition
and are being conducted in'violation of
law. The committee likewise finds that
the wages of the younger employees are
entirely disproportionate to the Work done
and the number of hours employed. The
committee bglieves that there are other rea-
sons than the natural one of‘ supply and
demand why the wages of the .young em-
ployees are as small as they are.
“ Some of these reasons are the minimiz-
ing of expense by keeping the premises in
a condition contrary to law and by work-
ing in tenement houses contrary to law.
The opmmlttee has not; been able to ascer-
tain the wages 6f adult robot to its satis-
faction thus far. as it has only had an op-
portunity to call employers, and the testi-
mony of the employers has been unreliable
on its face, as the committee in a number
of instances. has ' found out to its own
satisfaction.” ' ’

Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times thatIcould not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain s . ’
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For
