The report of the landing of the British at Bluefields Ii ths Mosouito reservation ivaa confirmed today by the arrival 'f the steamer KUiot. Capt. A. Urown. The IClliof, which is a British steamer, left Bluefields Sunday morning.

M.mh 4. She arrived there Feb. 27, just cue day too late to witness the arrival of the Nicaraguans. Capt. Brown says the Nicaraguans entered Bluefields on Feb.

and 2'j. He did not know their exact numerical strength, but there was an armed force of four ur five hundred of them at Bluefields vh'ii he arrived. They brought no cannon villi them. They pimply entered under arms and without any resistance on the part of the natives. They hoisted th4 Niearaguan flag the custom house and over tlv other jublic, buildings.

Tito flags remained up tiurinfc the tiiuo the Elliot was in ort. There was lightinje. The Mosrjuitos were considerably terrified by the presence of so large an mied force, as they wetx- practically without protection in the city. Capt. Brown says tho reports that readied this country with vgard to Use name the British warship there are in error.

Jt vas not the Claopatra, he said, but the Tamar. The Mosquitos, states, fearing that they might be attacked by Nicaraguans, apiealed to the Tamar for protection. Thursday, March 1. the Tamar. without any authority from the British government, as It had not had time to pet nny such authority, sent three boat loads of armed men ashore.

Capt. Brown did not know the exact nuinler of men, but between fifty and one hundred landed. They were armed with carbines and cutlasses. The men went ashore in the steam launch of the man-of-war and carried with them two Gatling guns and three field pieces. The British forces did not land at Bluefields, but at Bluefields bluff, about four or five miles northeast of there.

There was some understanding between the Moaquito chief and the officer in charge of the Tamar, the chief asking that the men be landed for the safety and protection of his people. The British soldiers went into Bluefields from the bluff. They could not go by land, but had to u.se the steam launch, in vhich they carried one of the Catling guns. There was no fight of any kind between March 1, the day the men landed, and March 4, the day the Elliot sailed. There va little excitement among the people.

The Mosquitos were frightened when the Nicaraguans first entered, but after the landing of the British troops all excitement subsided and the people seemed willing to rest easy and let things po on as they were until the trouble between the Indiana and the Nicaraguans is set-tied. The Xicaragruans, of course, objected to the landing of tha British troops and charged the F.ritlsh officers with an open violation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Little attention was paid to this by the British. The Nicaraguans wanted them to stick to the terms of the treaty. The Tamar sailed from Blue-fields Thursday night for Colon for the purpose of cabling to England for ad- viee.

In the meantime the troops were left in camp at Bluefieiris bluff. ihc Tamar returned to LlluefieUis late Saturday night. Capt. Brown did not lnrn the result of the correspondence with the English department of foreign affairs, as he was five or fix miles away from Bluefields ana did not land again before leaving Sunday morning, when the soldiers vere still in camp at the bluff.

The Hawaiian steamer Warrimoo, just arrived, brings confirmation of the report of the enlistment of Canadian volunteers for the service of Queen Lllioukalani. The plan was fully described in dispatches sent from here early in January and at th time they were discredited here as false.

It now appears that il.eir authors were in full possession cf inside information on the subject. More than an ordinarily large nrin'ifi' of steerage passengers, many of thrm Englishmen and Canadian, some wearing military badges, arrived at Honolulu during January and They had no ostensible employment Mid weie understood to well MippU'-d with iiK-ney, while their sympathies were with the royalists. They are supposed by the police have been cngaj.d or enlisted by Sansomo c.f Vancouver, and the military appearance of many of them has given the authorities reason to believe that they are there for tue purpose of resisting the provisional government. The opinion prevailed that the report previously tent of the enlistment of men i in Canada was a fake, but the preseme of at least sixty strangers confirms the original story. In view of the presence of these men the provisional government has put half the citizens' guard under arms and has passed strict regulations in respect, to the landing of passengers by steamers.

The regulation provides that upon the arrival of any foreign vss-j sei with passengers at any port of Ihe I Hawaiian islands it shall be the duty or the masur to report the name, nationality, last residence, destination, occupation and object of coming to Hawaii of every such passenger before any cf them are landed.

The new 1-iv; referring to aliens' went into effect March 4 and sewiai arrivals by the Warrimoi had some difficulty in landing.

Feb. ITS the ex-queen gave an interview to the New York Herald. The ex-queen wished it ribdinetly dr.ied that her interest in the restoration if the monarch was wholly person- 1. "Of course," she continued, "we have naturally a deep personal interest at stak, but you may say that we are deeply sorry on account of our pati nt native people, many of whom have lost employment by the overthrow. If anything grieves us sorely, more sorely than our own annoyance, it is their distress.

Their devotion has been so marked during our trouble that we are most grateful. They are, of course, very anxious about their liberties, for I assure you that the Hawaiians love their country. I may say I believe they are as patriotic as any people in the world. Our subjects are probably more patient than any other people in the world, and for that matter we have counselled them to be peaceful and await re-unlts." She said she loved the American people and American government, but believed that there was as much liberty in Hawaii under monarchy as in the United States. "People prospered under the monarchy and tramps were unknown." said the ex-queen.

poor were not numerous in our country, and many white men mad? fortunes under the old conditions. By the way, there are some serious problems In your government, as in all civilized countries tod.iy. I read that there are millions of Idle and desperate hungry men hunting for employment in other civilized countries. We are very sorry to see so many of them coming to these islands, an we wish you would warn them that there Is nothing for them to do here." HELD BY GYPSIES. A Pen nlinniti I'len Tor Help.

Holmes, the husband, says he thinks the physician poisoned the daughter by mistake. Mrs. Holmes thougnt the same and took some of her husband's preparation, to be a harmless purgative, to prove that the blame rested on some other person. It was a dramatic s.ene. In the bpet of health she called the rest of the family and several neighbors into the sitting-room after the funeral of the daughter to witness her swallow two tablespoonfuls of the alleged harmless stuff.

Albert P.arkow-sky, eighteen years old, and George Dunn, a bartender, were arrested today for inflicting serious and cruel wounds upon Thomas T. Davies, a porter in a barber shop, with a red-hot poker. Daviea went to the saloon owned by Barkowsky'a father greatly under the influence of liquor, and the injuries were inflicted by the prisoners.

Both of his eyebrows were burned away, and under each eye hot iron burned a track an inch long, and a similar mark was left behind each ear. On each wrist the skin was burned away for an Inch and a half, while on each leg, from. the ankle up for a distance of about six inches, the hot Iron burned aimost to the bone. In th! region of the abdomen also there are severe burns, while many cf his ribs were traced with the hot metal. He will probably be crippled for life.

Almost fifty little ones mourned the loss of their fathers. Scarcely had the cave-in occurred before a force of men was set to clearing away the debris within the shaft. This work has continued with unabat-Ing energy, day and night.

WASHINGTON. Maivh 10. Tho statistical report of the department of agriculture estimates the amount of wheat in farmers' hands at 114.0i,0,000 bushels, which is 2J.0o0.0Cf) bushels less than at the same date last year and 20,000.000 less than the average oi' the last eight years. The average weight of the crop of 1S33 measured bushel, as calculated from correspondents and millers and state agents, is pounds, making the estimated product a little over commercial bushels, against 306.000.000 measured busheis as heretofore reported. The corn in producers' hands p.s estimated aggregates 5SO.000.000 bushels, or 36.4 per cent, of the crop of 1S93.

This proportion Is less than for any year in the past five years, except that of 1831. The aggregate of corn in farmers' hands in the surplus states of Ohio, Indiana. Illirrois. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska Is 61.1 per cent, of that 5n farmers hands in the entire country, being in quuntity bushels. Th proportion of mercantile corn is per cent, of a present average vaoie of 34.9 cents per bushel.

The unmerchantable averages "2.2 cents pec bushel. The official and commercial estimates of the world's wheat crop for 1893 makes it 32,000,000 bushels less than last year. The final estimates will probably still further reduce the total for lsO'i, as the preliminary estimates for Russia and Germany are generally reduced by the final estimates. COXEY'S MARCH.

At last the Coxey conceit ha3 assumed a definite shape that gives notice to the local authorities that it is something re tangible than the theorizing of a crank. Coxey and Carl Brown mustered the advance guard of the "commonweal" thi.i afternoon, and the authorities were surprised to see more than Jive hundred men, most of them strangers, arrayed under the banners of the "On-to-Wash-Ington" crusade. A gentleman who has information as to some of the things Coxey and Brown are not giving to the public as yet said tonight that he had positive knowledge that the forces now "in sight" Would give Coxey anywhere from to 8,000 men with which to begin the march. The authorities say that this community cannot, and will not, allow the assembly of half that many tramps in this They held a meeting and nominated a full city ticket. CREMATED HERSELF.

Some of the neighbors, who noticed the building burning, ran and endeavored to extinguish the fire. Mrs. Wells was discovered, but life was extinct, all of her wearing apparel being burned off except her shoes. The upper portions of her body were terribly charred.

TROY, N. Y. March C. A mayor was elected jn this city today but the record of the election is spotted with blood and scenes such as the oldest resident in Troy has no recollection cf were enacted. In a darkened room in the family residence lies the body of Robert Ross, who left his home this morning to aid in the flection of a candidate that the republican party had indorsel.

In a room in the same house lies his brother, William, perhaps mortally wounded. In another part of the city lies wounded a notorious rough and ward heeler, "Bat" and still in another part of the city is John McGough, who received a bullet and i3 seriously injured. Among the watchers at the Twelfth ward, linn precinct polling place, was Robert Ross and his brother William, both cf them being there in the interest of the republican party. There was also there a well-known character by the name of "Bat" Shea. About 1:20 a gang of at least a.

dozen strangers stood waiting to vote, while men whose names were on the poll list, both democrats and republicans, were crowded away. Robert Ross objected to this and had some words with "Rat" Shea. The story told by the surviving Boss is that "Rat" Shea is the man who killed Robert Ross. They say that the trouble began in the polling booth, here a crowd of repeaters, headed by Jeremiah Ch ary and Shea attempted to vote. When the vote was challenged the men went outside and immediately started an argument with the Suddenly the crowd surped forward and in an instant revolvers were drawn and shots bred.

Robert Ross fell to the roadway and his brother William cried: "I'm shot." Then the lirinsjr ceased as suddenly as it had commenced. Before a surgeon could reach the scene Robert Ross was dead. William Ross was shot in the neck just below the base of the brain and will probably die, John McGough is dangerously wounded, while Shea's wound is not considered serious. John Ross sail: "I did not fire a riy-tol. It was murder, deliberate murder, and it was premodiated.

Only about an hour and a half before this man Shea struck my brother William full in th.3 face. 1 dragged William away and told him to take the blow and say nothing; the blow would not hurt him. I did not think at the time that they would use their guns." Mayor Whelan said tonight: "It Is only the natural result of the determination of the Murphy heelers to carry the election) by fair means or foul. It is a stain on this city." Senator Edward Murphy was busy all afternoon attending to the delegations of cun and collar workers who came to talk about the Wilson bill, but he found time to say: "It is a. most deplorable affair and I am greatly grieved at it." At midnight it was ascertained that another man was mortally wounded at the Troy election in the Thirteenth ward tragedy.

John McGough. one of the alleged gang of repeaters who participated In the bloody riot, was found at his home suffering from the effects of a bullet wound in his abdomen. The bullet had penetrated the kidneys and the physicians say he cannot recover. He is insensible now. but before he became unconscious he stated that he did not have a revolver and did not do any of the shooting.

He says that he felt the bullet and started to go home. He fell by the roadside and was carried home by friends. TROY. N. March 9.

It is alleged here tonight that the fracas resulting iu the death of Robert Ross was the outcome of an A. 1'. A. feud between him and "Bat" Shea, who is a catholic, and who was excommunicated from the catholic church and who only lately became a republican and a member of the A. I.

A. It is said that in the caucus a few weeks apo the dead man, Ross, had violent words with other members of his party over tho ouestiou rf indorsing Whelan, who is also a catholic, and that in fracas that occurred then he was hurt. Shea, who was interviewed at the jail tonight, says: "Whoever tired that r-not that killed Mr. Ross fired it from behind, and probably at me, for I was facing him when be fell. 1 did not shoot.

After several s-hots were fired I felt a pair in my neck and dropped. I had my revolver in my hands." Governor Flower summoned District Attorney Kelly of Troy before him today an.i conferred with him relative to the prosecutions of the persons concerned In the election crimes committed in that city last Tuesday. Governor Flower said he thought the district attorney ought to associate with htm in these prosecutions the ablest lawyers in the city, men in whose honesty and fairness the people had perfect confidence. The district attorney expressed his willingness to do this, and the governor thereupon suggested the names of ex-Speaker Charles E. Patterson and Seymour Van Salvoord, both of Troy.

These names were satisfactory to the district attorney, and later in the day Messrs. Patterson and Van Salvoord were telephoned for and held a long conference with the governor. The understanding at the close of the conference was that Messrs. Patterson and Van Salvoord would confer with their friends In Troy, and if public sentiment favored their acting they would accept the commission. Both gentlemen- are democrats and prominent members of the Troy bar.

No funeral in ttds city, at least in recent years, has been so largely attended as was that of Robert Ross, the victim of Tuesday's election riot. Factories were closed and business generally was suspended. The remains lay in state In Oakwood-ave. prcsbyterlan church from 12 o'clock until 2 o'clock, and were viewed by thousands of people.

NEW YORK. March 6. The election returns from the various counties of the state show decided republican gains. They have made gnius in some districts that the democrats held to be essentially their own. In Geneva th" republicans made a clean sweep.

Every one of thoir candidates was elected by an overwhelming majority. In Rochester the republicans are jubilant over the outcome of the election, their candidate for mayor haviner been elected by a majority of probably O.ooo. In Little Falls not a single democrat was elected. Every town in Wnyr." county shows republican gains. In Gloversvllle the board of aldermen is entirely republican.

The returns from Roekland. Washington, Essex, Clinton and Greene counties all show that the republicans have cither held their own or made gains. Lansingburg elected the entire republican ticket by over 1,200 majority. La.it year the democratic majority was Saratoga canity went republican by increased majorities. In Ithaca the republicans gained a decided victory.

In Oswego the light was between Cleveland democrats. Hill democrats and Piatt and antl-Platt republicans. Tic-returns in the mayoralty fight are so badly mixed that an official count will be necessary to decide as to he winning candidate. The anti-PIatt republicans elect four alderman against two each. for tic Cleveland democrats and Piatt republicans.

In the new board of supervisors the anti-PIatt members will have a majority of at least four. The new Duchess county board of supervisors will have a republican majority of thirteen. Last year the democrats elected frcrf-en supervisors. Today they elected seven xjy. Late this evening the returns show a noteworthy demociatio victory.

This was in the town of Albion, where they elected all their candidates with the exception of one, who was running for police justice. The majorities given were large. Late returns show that the board of supervisors of Washington county will be the same as the last board thirteen republicans and four democrats. In Oneida county the republicans have gained one seat In the board of supervisors. LOADED AS DUDLEY WAS.

A M1W YOHKEH HO CARRIED I)V-A AMITE UO.MBS WITH HIM. Discovery of the Deadly ature of His CnrRo early Paralyze a lo-Hceina The Dyumnltard an Ignorant latborluff Man. NEW YORK, March 12 Three pieces of iron pipe, capped and primed, and supposed to be charged with high explosives, were found in a parcel carried by John Kelly of T.S.'l who was arrested while prowling with another man front of Florist Ammans's gardens in Harlem about o'clock this morning. Resides the bombs, which are about eighteen inches long, there were nine paper cartridges in the parcel. Ammans has one of the most extensive hot-houses in the city.

In the neighborhood are tho finest apartment houses in Harlem. The men vere conversing in low tones, when Officer Connors made a dart for the man with the bundle, and grabbed him by the collar. The other man dashed away in the darkness. Kelly had tried to pass the bundle to the other man before he ran. but was prevented from doing so by the policeman.

"What have you got in that bundle?" asked the policeman. "Oh, it's only a bundle of clothes," answered the man. "Well, let's take a walk to the house," said the officer, taking the bundle from the man with one hand and grasping his prisoner firmly on the collar. At the station house the bundle was laid on the desk. When the sergeant unrolled it and discovered what it contained he staggered back and nearly collapsed.

The sergenat, on making the discovery, immediately notified Inspector Conlin. and the latter hurried to the station house and sent for an expert to examine the find. It is asserted that each of the cartridges contained enough dynamite to blow down an ordinary house. The prisoner, Kelly, would suy but little. He is a laborer and ignorant.

The ioliee are in hopes of capturing the man who was with him. Kelly was remanded for twenty-four hours. He says that he was hired by a man at Grand-st. ferry to carry tha bundle to the neighborhood in which he was arrested. His companion, he asserts, was also hired at the same time, and he declares that both this companion and the man who hired them arc entire strangers to him.

After looking at the bombs, the expert declared that they were fully charged and that there was sufficient dynamite in them to blow up a block of houses. The fuses had been a i ranged so that when they were ipnited it would take them about six minutes to have reached the dynamite. The police are of the opinion that a plot is on foot to Mow up somebody or something in Harlem, but what their theory is they are guarding sacredly. There is no more fashionable sscctio'i up town than the one where th man was captured. There are rows of tall apartment Iioures occupied by wealthy citizens, and in the immediate lcinity millions of dollars are invested in buildings.

NEW YORK, March 1 1 A cah! dispatch from Port Au Hayti. an-nou noes that the steam yacht Natalie, whoso stealthy mailing from the United States aroused rusj i'-ion, has been capture! by ihe Haytian war ships Dcs-satines and Capoix. The mysterious craft was intercepted off Fortune island, oni of th Kahama.

Arms and ammunition being found on board, she was seized upon information that the munitions of win- were intended to be delivered to Haytian revolutionists. The entire crew cf toe Natalie have been shot by order of President Hippolyt. Reports received here confirm the report of the seizure of the Fteatn yacht Natalie and the of her crew, A few days ago the Natalie was discovered by a passing vessel anchored Oi? Fortune island, about four hundred miles north of Hayti. and a Haytian gunboat was also anchored in close proximity to her. It was learned that Hippolyte had expressed the determination that the Natalie's argo of arms and ammunition should not fall into the hands of bis enemies, and had given orders that, in case she should atten.pt to leave Fortune island she must be seized by the IlTytian which had been on the lookout for her i-ome time before her arrival at Fortune island.

The Natalie was a very beat, only twenty-nine tope. It is said that she was commanded by Ar.boine Salina, who has been identified for years with the enemies of the Haytian republic. Capt. Kirk was around Port Jefferson today wearing a broad smile of satisfaction. It was Kirk who commanded the yacht and who took her to Savannah.

There was a great mystery about the Natalie. She left Port Jefferson bay Dec. C. She had been built for Bridgeport, (Conn.) parties to te.t a patent steering gear. The yacht then became the property of a New York man named Atwater, by whom she was sold to th people, who employed Kirk to take her outh.

The representative of the purchasers was Capt. Anthony Salina, who was in command of the yacht when captured by Haytian warships, and who, if the reports are correct, was shot, together with the others of the crew. Salina held a commission as master of ocean-going strainers. While at Port Jefferson he seemed anxious to hide hi Identity. He registered at Smith's hottl as Thomas Nelson, but was recognized by Capt.

Darton, who had known him as an Instructor of navigation In New York City. About the village the mys-j terious captain was dubbed "Capt. Na- talie." The day before tru- yacht hailedj from here ehe narrowly escaped destine- Hon by fire, her pilt housu being badly damaged. Capt. Kirk says: "I was employed by Salina to take the yacht to Not until we reached Staten island did I have any intimation that we were, bound elsewhere.

The yacht wa. run into by the Baltimore steamer Bruin during the trip through the canal at Delaware City. She was? hauled out at Baltimore and repaired. Salina was im lecelpt of frequent telegrams. At Baltimore a foreign gentleman came on board and saw Salina privately.

Tne: he asked me if I would take the yacht to Savannah. We stopped at Norfolk. Before we left Salina asked me if I was familiar with the Bahama. We reached Savannah on Dec. "4.

There the engine was overhauled and quantities of stores were taken aboard. On Jam 9 Salina said he had received order3 to lay the yacht up, so 1 was iaid off and started for home the next day. had no information as to the linrd destination of thi yacht. She wa. in good order, much better than when she left here." Capt.

Kirk says be was the only Amer lean citizen on board the when she reached Savannah. HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS. Rill Making Provision for Them 1-utv in evr York. XKW YOKIC, March 10. The bi't which was prepared by Mr.
