Affairs Approaching a Climax Inter-national

-

.'Observances Must beMaintained .-President Zelaya Officially Notified of

the cOnsequences'of . Failure

r to.Pay Indemnity.

,

'

iLONDON, April 24-Ab the foreign office

today ib was officially stated that theBritish warships in the harbor of Corlnto ,

Nicaragua , are there for the purpose of'-en-

forcing the demands of England.The Chronicle says the dlspl toh'of British

menofwar to Corlnto shows that the

Nicaraguan affair ii approaching a climax .

Nicaragua , It adds , obviously relies upon

American sympathy , bub surely If America

takes these small communities under her'

wing she must see that they maintain inter-

national

¬

observances . . The Monroe doctrinela proper enough 'in its way , but Ib willhardly prevent a foreign nation which Is nob

desirous of territorial aggrandizement fromexacting reparation for insult and outrage.MANAGUA , April 2-1-The British ad ¬

miral has notified President Zelaya that thethree days given Nicaragua to comply withthe terms of the ultimatum will expire to ¬

morrow . Failure to pay the Indemnitywill be followed by the seizure of the cuetoms home at Co rID to and the collection ofduties by . British subjects , presumably anofficer of the fleet detailed for that purpose .The note of the British admiral declaresthat) force will be used to collect the moneyif Opposition 1is made . Great ) excitementexists . The government , It is reported ,

will refuse to pay the indemnity and willabandon Corlnto as a port of entry. Thebelief fa general here that if Britain obtainspossession of Corlnto she will continue tooccupy Ib.

WASHINGTON , April 24 . Secretary Gres-

ham had a long Interview with Sir JulianPaunoefobe to day and saw Minister Guzman , .of Nicaragua , who communloated tohim the Intelligence he had received fromhis government Shortly afterward themembers of the cabinet drove out to Woodley , the presidents country home , where aspecial cabinet meeting( was held . The In-

dicitfons.

are that Nicaragua will offerpasilve resistance to the British demandsfor some time at least , and meanwhile theUnited States will do nothing but wait thedevelopments of. events , unless the Britlab take some action thab affects our In-terests such as Interfering with our ship-

This attldnde Is assnmsd In the fullconfidence that no attempt will be made bythe British to secure any Nicaraguan ter .ritory , no matter .what course she may beobliged to pursue to accomplish her purposeof collecting the demand for the expulsionof Vice-Consul Hatch . There Is reason tobelieve thab n6b only tho'Nloaraguan affair ,.bnUihe whole subject of the extent of.r theprotection to be extended by the UnitedStates to the sister republics of Central andSouth America , his been very earnestly anddeliberately dlionsisd by the President withhis fall cabinet , and the attitude assumed Inthe case of Nicaragua may be taken as anIndication of the line of policy to be adopt .

.CLERICAL SCANDAL ,

A Young Woman Said to Have Been Ruinedby a Clergyman Dies In ft

Detroit Hospital .

LONDON , April 23 . Inquiries made atScotland Yard regarding the decease of

Miss Emily Hall , who Is said to have been

betrayed by an English clergyman named

Bull and sent to Detroit , Mich . , where she

died in a lying-in hospital , have elicited the

statement by the authorities that they haveno information regarding the case . Rev .Jonathan Boll , a Primitive Methodistclergyman , lives at Primrose Vale , Black-heath , Rowley , in Staffordshire . This ad .

dross resembles the one given by Miss Hallsbetrayer In his letters , which were datedPrimrose Vale Station road , Ulaokhoath ,

via Dudley . " Bell , who has been In the ministry twenty years , went to Blackheath , near)liirminghdni , from Dudley three years ago.He soon acquired a good reputation tarattention to his duties . He is regarded Inhis circuits as a good pastor with an especIcily strong hold upon the young , but ae arather indifferent preacher . Bdll was InMichigan at the time when , according to iheDetroit) police , Emily Halls betrayer arranged for her reception at the lying in hospital .

His voice failed laslsummer owlngto an affeo ¬

tion of the throat , and he applied to the trusteesfor a three months vacation . The true toespasted resolutions of sympathy and grantedhis requesb . Late In September Boll startedfor America . He told the trustees andfriends he was going to St . Clair , Michigan ,

to pass a few weeks with his brother-in-law .

lIe remained In America until about themiddle of February when he returned , ap-

parently¬

much Improved in health . Ho hasleotured frequently since on his visit toAmerica and has had good audience .Bell is married and has six children ,

the oldest being 14 years old . He Is ofalively disposition and has taken a conspicuone part In local affairs . After his returnfrom America he decided to accept a circuitin Yorkshire and proposes to leave Blackheath In July . He preached In Langley thisevening .

The Miscreants After Perpetrating the <

Crime Tried to Burn the ."

" ' :Body. ,

VANCOUVER , April 2-1-Speolal-Tho( )

city was startled this morning by the reportthat Louis Pomerlow had been murdered .

Pomerlow was well known hero owing tohis numerous misfortunes . Last winter hewas nearly kicked to death In a street row

bub he gradually recovered only to be

stricken down with heard disease . Hit:

friends then asked the city council

for a pass to send him to his

home In Quebec as he was destitute .The counoil declined and were afterwards

'appealed to again and again with the sameresult . ;

Yesterday the pollee were'notified thatPomerlow , who had been living with aman named Andrews , in a shack on Falsecreek , has been missing for six days .He had then received from friends InQuebec $75 to take him home .The police thought ) that he had committedsuicide owing to his numerous troubles .Andrews , his aback mate , this morning

discovered the remains of Pomerlow scarcelytwenty yards from his shack . The bodywas horribly mutilated ; the head had beensplit open with an axe ; It had been raisedfrom the ground by a stone , around which afire had been kindled . The , flames hadburnt the hair from the head before theyhad been prematurely quenohed by a showerof rain . The murderer had evidentlyhoped to dispose of the body by burning itup. The remains were much decomposed ,having lain where found for six days . Aman who knew Pomerlow intimately , andwho disappeared from the city a weekag , .Is suspected of having brutally murderedthe nnfortunate man to secure the $75 senthim by his Quebec friends . The

'evidence

against the suspected man , though circum ¬

stantial , Is said to be most convincing .

When Pomsrlow was murdered ' he was Inill health and weak , 10 thab no resistance'was made , and he fell an easy ,. victim to thIS .fiendish brutality of the murderer . , .

' A coroners jury wall summoned on the '

case ab eleven o clock , whl adjourned after '

viewing the body until tomorrow morning .

at cloven . An autopsy was held this after :

noon . That Pomerlow was murdered Is be ¬

yond the shadow of a doubt. There are '

several deep gashes In the head made witha hatchet The blow that caused death wasthe top of the head . The hatoheb by

the murder was committed ' has beenIon , Andrews , the murdered mans

ok companion'

, was Interviewed by 'the .

'''

IwalI*

pioions as to was .Officer Grady , who has the case in kind ,

said at noon thab the police had formed notheoryand no one was suspected ; that thematter was as yet an entire mystery .A curious crowd haunted Lookhart's

undertaking establishment from early mornIng till late at night, anxious to view theghastly remains . Newspaper reporters, cityofficials , and police officers were the onlyones admitted . A more shocking light) thanthe hacked and bloody corpse of the deadman as ib lay on the slab In the morguecould not well be conceived . 'The featureswere hidden by huge clots of blood , throughwhich horrible gashes on the head and facecould scarcely be leen .To add to the dlitreiilng sight, the

clothes were almost entirely burnt from thebone and the flesh was rained In red wheltsall over the body where the . fire had done v

Ibs work . The COLONIST correspondent , .

was on special duty all day and was urgent *'\' .. . ' .ly requested by the police , as were all news-paper

' t

men in the city, to refrain from say *

ing too much about the murder. Thoughthe COLONIST fis in poisenlon of as manyfacts as the police , this request was In ameasure granted The police would saynothing , and those living in the vicinity of

the scene of the murder had evidently been ,warned by the police as they were Dot verycommunicative .

Without mentioning names , that are ,however , in the COLONISTS possession ,enough evidence has been obtained to givestrong color to the theory that two menmurdered Pomoriow , while he lay in a weakand helpless condition . The remains were .but ten feet from the nearest shackcoveredwith blankets , and ib Is strange that thefact was not known by those living in theimmediate vicinity .

It has been casually mentioned in thepolice court ) that some bad boys had foundor stolen $30 from the shack and divided ib

amongst them . Did the boys know any ¬

thing of the murder ; did they steal themoney , find it , or was it given them ? Thirtydollars , If two committed the murder, wasone mans share of the $60 . Andrews , whohas been living in the shack with the murder .ed man and reported the finding of the bodyto the police , has been detained as a witness .The other very much wanted witness itabroad. His name will bo disclosed afterthe inquest .
