Recent Enlargement of Its Leased Wire Factittte ‘The Associated Press has enlarged its di- rect leased wire facilities between New York city and the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Pittsburg. At the same time Pittsburg became an important relay point for the handling of the news, seven leased wires concentrat- Ing in that city from the west, south and east. This compelled the enlargement of the editorial and telegraphic force of the Associated Press in that city. ‘The fact that the distributing office has been opened in Pittsburg and the facilities increased at that point is made the basis of @ statement in two New York city pa- pers, and also sent out by a news agency which serves them with news, to the effect that the change involved the lessening of the facilities of the great distributing office of the Associated Press at New York city. Such a statement is entirely untrue, and to those acquainted with the working details of the greatest news agency in the world @ denial will not be necessary. The Associated Press today serves, with few exceptions, every leading daily news- paper in the United States. Its leased wire system extends directly across the country from New York to San Francisco, from St. Paul to Galvesten and from Seattle to San Diego, on the Pacific coast, embracing a total in this leased wire system exceeding 20,000 miles of telegraphic wires. To han- @ie this great volume of, news has made mecessary the opening of distributing of- fices at Boston, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Wash- ington, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Detroit, St. Louis, St. Paul, Kansas City, Denver, Mem- phis, Salt Lake, San Francisco, Los An- geles and Portland, Ore. ‘The general offices of the Associated Press are at New York and Chicago, and at these two cities are concentrated the t news distributing offices in the United States. At New York city the Associated Press has the largest equipped office for handling mews in the world. Here is received ali the cable, southern, eastern and western mews handled over the vast system of wires in this country, and by cable from Europe and Asia. Withia a year 116 daily newspapers in the United States have joined the Associated and abandoned all other press assuciations. Associated Press numbers in its membership list and serves its news to, approximately, 400 papers, and this list em- braces, with but few exceptions, all the prominent papers in all the principal cities ef the United States. — eee —_— SEIZED AMERICAN BUATS. Bold Act of Gen. Cabesos of Nicar- agua. The Associated Press correspondent Writes that Gen. Cabezos of Nicaragua ar- Tived off Bluefields July 31, coming down the river from Rama with 6) troops in American launches belonging to the Mobile Fruit and Trading Company and flying the American flag. The launches had been seized onc2 befcre, but Capt. O'Neil visited Cabezos and compelied a surrender, as weil @S a written promise tnat they would not be touched again. Nevertheless, they were seized during the night and the crews com- led to man the boats at the point of the yonet. Cabezss cisimed that they were Nicara- guan property by forfeit of an old contract, im which they were given as security, and he also held that the crews went willingly and were paid for their services. Capt. O'Neil refused to believe the story, especially as the crews made affidavits to the contrary. He refused to shake hands With Cabezos and forced the launches to get away after they had landed the troops at Bluetields, so they could not be used again. Capt. Stuart of the British cruiser Mo- hawk intended to cable from Port Limon about the arrival of Cabezos, but before leaving demanded that the town would not be attacked for forty-eight hours. Cabezos refused the offer, stating that Nicaraguan blood had been shed and the Nicaraguan flag torn down, and that the offenders must be punished. Stuart changei his mlad, returned to Blue- fields and sent his men ashore to aid the American sailors in guarding foreign inter- ests. The Nicaraguan plan was to take the town without bloodshed by sending a large force, 50) men coming from Greytown as well. This was easy, as Clarence did not intend to offer resistance, and, besides, hav- irg no force or allies to give battle, had he go desired. On August 21 Cabezos sent a rote to Clarence, demanding an immediate transfer of all property. Clarence was not found for some hours, and when he received the note he asked for twenty-four hours in order to lay the matter before the provis- fonai council. The delay was granted, and up to the time the ship left the answer had not yet been given. The earnest hope of Clareice {ts to make the most favorable terms possible. Cabezos insists on recognizing him as a revolutionist, for, while Clarence did not share in the riot, the attack on the Bluff, which was the fatal stroke to Nicaraguan rule, occurred after he had assumed charge. ‘The Secretary of State has received in- formation from the Amertcan consul at Callao, Peru, that the acting president of Peru has isued a decreee, in which he re- cites that the present tariff was predicated tpon a value of 34 pence per silver sole, ut now that ft has fallen so far below lat value, equity te the government and to commerce requires that the value of the silver sole be fixed at 30 pence.

Attention has been called by a number of citizens to the garbage colie-ting in An- acostia. Some time ago the police distribut- ed to the residences of Anacostians gar- bage regulations, compelling the people to have a metal receptacle. The regulations state that garbage will be collected twice or three times a week, but the wagon only makes its collections once a week, and the people state that the accumulation of garbage standing for a week is a menace to health. Formerly they were able to dispose of it to countrymen, but this has been prohibited. It is understood, unless sooner remedied, the Citizens’ Association will take the matter In hand at its next meeting. Miss Stella Fort 1s visiting friends out of town. —_—~— HYATTSVILLE. An interesting case for recovery of debt, of which Doc RicHardson is plaintiff and Wm. 8. Gifford defendant, will be tried be- fcre Justice E. M. Hurley tn Bladensburg at 10 o'clock Friday morning. Gtfford, who runs the George Washington House, Jeased that property from its owner, the late Jud- son F. Richardson, whd conducted it for many years as a hotel., Since the death of that person Gifford has not paid any rent, cwing to the fact that it is.elaimed by two Fersons—Jennie Riles, the housekeeper, and Dec Richardson, the nephew of the late owner. It appears that Richardson left the Property to Jennle* Riles in a recent will, but his nephew, Doc, claims that he deeded it to him in 1886, an@ has the document to substartiate his statement. Giford says that he will pay the rent to the rightful ewner, but does not believe that the prop- erty belongs to Loe Richardson. A difficulty arose on the pike near Rives’ yesterday morning between two colored men named John Thompson and William Rollins over the affections of a girl to whom they were both paying attention. Rollins, it xppears, was jealous of Thomp- son, and demanded that he cease his visits to the girl. This Thompson refused to do. They then agreed to settle the difficulty with nature's weapons, the one who re- ceived the worst of the encounter to stop visiting the girl, and retired to a secluded spot for that purpose. Thompson gained a black eye and iost the gtrl. : Chicken thieves have again been at work in this neighborhood.

RE Economists Pléad With Thetr Col- to * ae leagues in the Hpuse, but With- out AvallaThe Mills, D Yesterday aftergoon!the House, in com- mittee of the whole, dgvoted its time to the consideration of a:numiber of bills providing for the erection of public buildings. It was an occasion which had been anticipated by many members with pleasure mingled with anxiety, for there was a possibility of fond hopes being realized, and a strong probabil- ity of thelr being dashed rudely to the ground. It transpired that it was the fear and not the hope which was finally realized. The first bill brought forward was Mr. Berry's bill eppropriating $100,000 for a post office at Newport, Ky. Mr. Hutcheson of ‘Texas was the first economist to place him- self across the pathway of Mr. Berry's march to success. He thought the appro- priation was too much, and moreover held that the city should donate a site and not compel the government to purchase. Mr. Hutcheson proceeded to elaborate his ideas upon the subject, whereupon Mr. Berry grew restless, for it had been agreed that if any bill showed signs of blocking the way it would be withdrawn. In desperation Mr. Berry fina!ly agreed to compromise the mat- ter by slicing $20,000 from the appropria- tion, although this concession was made with a sigh. Mr. Berry brightened up when Mr. Hutcheson agreed, but his hopes fell a ter when Congressman Robinson ivania proceeded to make a gen- eral speech on public buildings. Mr. Robinson proceeded and the committee grew restless, Mr, Berry became nervous. There was danger that if this thing con- tinued Mr. Berry might have to withdraw his bill, In mute sign language dnd with a lcok of appeal upon his face which would have moved a heart of stone, Mr. Berry ap- Ppealed to Mr. Robinson to cut it short Finally, to Mr, Berry's intense relief, the speech was concluded and the question call- ed for, shail the bill be favorably recom- mended to the House. Here a new anxiety arose. It was well known that there were disgruntled men in the House who could not hope to get any public build themselves, and who had threatened to make it lively for the lucky ones. Tnen there was the far more dreaded element, the economists, who would be sure | to plead poverty as an excuse for not pass- ing the bills. Before the question was put Mr. Pigott of Connecticut, who had been quietly w: affairs, asked Mr. Berry if he thought it towns like ght to erect post oitices in rt, where the profits of the | office are o: 000) per year, and refuse them to towns furnishing profits of $40,000 per year. Mr. Pigott also thought this a bad time to spend pubiic money, anyhow, so when the question was put and there were yeas 113, noes 11, Mr. Pigott raised the point of no quorum. A loud murmur of dis- approval ren over the hall, but Mr. Pigott | Was inflexible, so while the tellers took their places Mr. Berry departed to drum up a quorum. The members rallied promptly to Mr. Ber- “'s relief, for tais was a matter where It ‘nooVed Men to stand shoulder to shoulder.

Senator Murphy arrived at Saratoga last night, and the arrangements for the con- vention are completed. Charles R. Defreest, clerk of the committee, will have to do some lvely hustling about details. It had been intended by the managers that the con- vention should be held in the week follow- ing that of the republican convention. ‘This would bring the date to September 2 or 26. Unfortunately for these plans, the convention hall is engaged for that week by the Unitarians. To postpone the selection of a ticket until October would be fatal to all chances for an understanding between the factions. {t is thought, though, that even if no errangement can be mate for the use of the regular hall, there will be little difficulty in obtaining the old rink.
