NICARAGUA'S PROTEST
Statement Issued by Presi
dent Zelaya.
Bewails Ilor Weakness and Counts
Upon Sympathy—England, Ho Says,
Is Collecting by Fore© Money Not
Due Her—Efforts To Keep tho Pop
ulace in Restraint.
Managua, Nicaragua, April 29.—Tho
following has been issued by President
Zelaya: Nicaragua protests bofore all
nations against tho outrage which Great
Britain inflicts upon her by military oc
cupation of tho port of Corinto in order
to seize from her by force a sum of money
which is not owed, in absolute disregard
of international laws and of the dictates
of right, justice aud equity. Nicaragua,
although counting upon the sympathy
of all, as she is powerless to oppose tho
aggressor, is ready to submit the case
without fear, bewailing her smalluess
and weakness. ZELAYA.
London, April 29.—Advices received
hero from Nicaraguu state that tho ex
citement throughout Nicaragua in
creases. Great disappointment is ex
pressed at the failure of tho United States
to secure some modification of Great
' Britain's terms. While the conservative
course pursuod by the Washington gov
ernment wus fully expected by President
Zelaya and his cabinet, in view of the in
formation furnished to them by tho
Nioaraguan minister at Washington, the |
people generally believed that the United j
States would interfere.
Tho Nioaraguan government is exert- j
ing itself to restrain tho populace. No
indication lias yet been given of an im
mediate intention to pay tho indemnity,
although tho continued occupation of
Corinto must sooner or later prove very
embarrassing to Nicaragua. Mr. Buyard's
request for a brief respite in order that
Nicaragua might pay the indemnity in
London, it is stated here, was refused by
Lord Klmberley. Had this respite been
granted, Nicaragua would have bor
rowed the money in New York to settle
the British demand.
Washington, April 29.—The situation
in Corinto remains unchanged. I)r.
Guzman, the Nioaraguan minister, this |
morning in reply ton cable dispatch ask- <
lug for specific information as to the
position of affairs, received from Manuel
Mutus, secretary of foreign affairs, au
official dispatch stating that the British I
were still in control of tho city.
The British flag was Hying over the j
custom house and the Nlcaraguaa flag
has been withdrawn from nil public
places. All the national authorities have
deserted the town aud Corinto at
present is practically u British posses
sion. Tho dispatch contained no further
particulars which leads Dr. Guzman to j
believe that all is quiet in the republic.
PRESS COMMENT.
Views of the London Papers on the
Nioaraguan Affair.
London, April 29.—The Morning Post
will say to-day: "That Nicaragua per
mitted extreme measures shows a do
elded opposition on her part to the policy
pursued by Mr. Cleveland. We are in
clined to think the true reason for her
course is an understanding that she shall
uct with Venezuela, both meaning to do
their most to induce Washington to
espouse their cause on the ground that
holding aloof would contravene the
Monroe dootrino. Whatever President j
Monroe's views were, he certainly never
meditated assisting a state which in
sulted a foreign nation. It may be as
sumed that Nicaragua's action will
fail."
Tho Daily Chronicle will say to-day:
"The situation in Nicaragua has reached
an almost ludicrous point. England is
in the position of a policeman who has
captured a little boy a long way from the
police station aud does r >t Vnow what to
do with him. The b >*cß in the gutter
menacing terrible r. vu;.ge by his big
brother. Tho policeman's position is
equally humiliating and profitless.
Boouer or later Nicaragua, of course,
must pay and beg pardon. The United
States is acting a friendly part towards
Great Britain and Nicaragua In urging
the latter to pay the indemnity at the
earliest moment."
The Times will say: "Until Nicaragua
relents we must keep our ships where
they are, whatever the inconvenience to
ourselves. Should Nicaragua persevere
in her present attitude, it may be neces
sary to supplement them. It is through
out an unpleasant affair. The attitude
of the United States appears to have
been most friendly and correct. Wo be- i
lieve that, despite the efforts of some i
newspapers to create ill-feeliug, tho ,
people cordially endorse the govern- j
ment's course."

MAY LOSE NEARLY ALL
Dark Outlook for Willi
mantic Bank Depositors.
Capital Stock, Surplus anil Probably
SIOO,OOO in Addition Wiped Gut-
Stockholders Are Not Wealthy Men
and Rislcy's Bondsmen May Es
cape by Tim© Limitation.
Willimautic, Conn., April 37.—The
depositors in tho First National bank of
Willimautic will probably lose the
greater part of the money which they
put iuto the bank. The amount of the
late Cashier Rislej''s defalcation is not yet
known, but mote than $200,000 deficit
has already been discovered.
Many Forgeries.
A Hartford trust company scut out ;
yesterday $70,000 in notos which it had :
rediscountcd for Risleyaml wanted them !
examined. It was found that more than j
$20,000 of the paper bore forged signa- |
tures. Bank Examiners Dooley and
Lynch think they have discovered all the j
forged notes, but are in doubt about one !
of $5,000. They refuse to give the names j
signed to the notes. No record of the
manner in which the notes were redis
countcd could be found.
All Wiped Out.
Tho directors had no suspicions that
such an amount of their paper had fallen
into other hands, and the arrival of the
notes put an und to all talk of opening
the bank again. Tho capital stock of tho
institution is SIOO,OOO, and its surplus
fund was $20,000. This and probably
more than SIOO,OOO iu addition has been
completely wiped out.
Stockholders Not Wealthy Moti.
The stockholders are, of course, liable
for an assessment of 100 per cent, but
most of them are comparatively poor
men, who will be unable to pay more
than 85 per cent, of the amount assessed.
Tho payment of the assessment will leave
many iu absolute poverty.
What Bcoamo ol tli© Money?
liisley certainly did not spend the
money on himself. liis board cost him
$9 a week, and ho kept a pair of fast
horses which cost him $25 a month. lie
drank aud smoked, but not to excess, and
had not been away from Wiilimantic for
two weeks altogether during the last two
years, when all tho irregularities took
place. His salary was $8,500 a year and
it was supposed lie lived on $2,000, as lie
was rather penurious. It is not proba
ble that he speculated in stocks.
Bondsmen Cannot B© Held.
On account of the time limitation, it
is probable that the nieu who went on
Cashier Risley's bond many years ago
cannot be held. A report that liisley
committed suicide is to bo investigated
by a Hartford company iu which he was
insured.
EVERY CENT MUST BE PAID.
Dubois' Bank President Says Ho Will

Dubois, Pa., April 27.—James E.
Long, president of the defunct bank of

$48,000 of paving everything. But what
evei they lack will be paid, if 1 have to

sell all her personal effects and jewelry,
no man will suffer. On the marble
shaft above my father is the legend:
'Here lies an honest man.' lam old and

THE BOOZY DISASTER
Loss of Life Far Beyond
First Estimates.
About 130 Deaths Known To Have
Been Caused and Scores of Per
sons Missing—More Than i2OO Fam
ilies Homeless—Searching for the
1 lod les—lSu rying Cattle.
Paris, April 29.—Reports of the devas
tation caused by the bursting of the res
ervoir at Bouzy Saturday have been re
ceived from Epinal hourly. The loss of
life is far beyond the first estimates.
About 190 deaths are now known to have
been caused by the llood, and the list may
grow, as in the confusion and ruin it has
been impossible to account for scores of
persons who are missing. The search for
dead bodies is still iu progress. Thirty
or more of the dead were buried to-day.
Many Families Homeless.
The villages and peasant farms in the
. path of the flood are strewn with the
I wrecks of buildings and are covered with
! heavy layers of mud. .More than 200 fami
lies are homeless and destitute. M. Ley
gues, minister of the interior, has gone
with a stall of officials to the afflicted dis
trict to distribute money among the
needy. Most of the towns near Epinal
have sent food and clothing to the desti
tute sufferers.
Kittle More Than a Morass.
A large part of the valley is little more
than a morass with timbers and uprooted
trees protruding from the mud. The sol
diers who are looking for bodies make
only slow progress, as the work of digging
in the debris is necessarily slow. Much
damage was done in the villages at some
distance from the dam. As the flood
swept down the valley it gathered an im
mense quantity of timber and tree trunks,
which were thrown against the buildings
in the lower neighborhoods.
Burying Cattle ami Shcop.
Fifty thousand persons visited the
scenes of desolation yesterday. The little
Aviero brook, which ordinarily is but
seven feet wide, has been converted into
a lake a mile and u half broad. Soldiers
and workingmen from tlio department
of roads are burying cattle and sheep us
rapidly as possible to prevent disease.
Hundreds of carcases have been put un- j
dor ground. The masonry on the Bouzy
dam was begun in 1879 and finished in
1884. It was strengthened in 1889. The
dam was 550 yards long, 60 feet high,
and the same thickness at the base. It
was built against vertical rock and on
sandstone.
