New Yoiik, Jan. 6.—A special
from Washington to u local paper
says:
A more important issue than that
of Venezuela may !>; raised between
the United Stales and Great Brituin
if late reports from Nicaragua be
continued. The substance of the re-
ports are that British interests arc
stretching out for I lie control of the
Nicaratigua canal ami that the gov-
ernment is being urged to annul llie
charier lo the existing corporation.
The reports of British intrigue in
Nicaragua which have been sent to
the State Department are likely to
receive serious attention before the
transmission of the report of the
Nicaragua commission to congress,
and may give a sensational turn to
the expected special message of the
president on the subject. The
United States, in case of controversy,
might be compelled lo take Its stand
on broader grounds and lo object to
any such interference in Central
American affairs on the part of
Great Britain as it might considci
proper in its own behalf. If a Brit-
ish syndicate should persuade the
Niearaguau otliclals to annul their
concessions to the United States and
make new ones to a 1! itisli company
a question would be pi < ntcd differ*

At Georgetown, Larkins Reynolds,
an escaped convict, is under arrest,
and lias sued out a writ of habeas
corpus, the grounds for the appli-
cation, ns stated in the petition, is as
follows: ' lu^i 'l Reynolds jointly
with oik Moore, was indicted in Bell
county for theft of hogs. Moore
disappeared, but Reynolds was tried
convicted and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for two years. Subsequent-
ly Moore was arrested and brought
to trial. 1 lie indictment was quasli-
j eil on the ground t hat the grand jury
that presented il was composed of
fourteen men instead of the regula-
tion twelve. Another indictment
was returned against Moore for the
same offense and lie was tried and
acquitted oil the facts. The hogs
were proven not to be Parkins', as
alleged in the indictment, but the
property of Moore, and thai lie had
authorized Reynolds lo assist iu
gathering them. Reynolds served
live months in the penitentiary and
then escaped, lie has since been
at liberty. Learning the above facts
iu regard to his case, he has reported
the same to the courts, asks fot au in-
vestigation. lie feels confident of
being released as soon us the court
decides the case.
