a number OF prominent citizens whose only
ofense was failure to acknowledge his alleged
greatness and infalibility. This action disturbed
the people. but not to a dangerous extent,
and there might have been no effort at revolu-
ton had SacaZa refrained from pulling the
wires which, if uncut, would surely result in
his election ior a full term. He drafted into
the military service land thus deprived Of the
franchise) those who favored other candidates
and released from the bonds of military servi-
tude many who pledged themselves to sup
port his cause, he exiled the extreme opposi-
tionists, suppressed critical newspapers and
in every way did his utmost to shut of adverse
comment. He won. Unlike other victors he
remembered his friends. The faithful-and
these included many relatives-were given
privileges and concessions and contracts Of the
most profitable description; when their
pockets we're empty they refllsd them
from the public treasury. That an up
rising should be consequent upon such
misgovernment is by no means surprising; no
one acquainted with Nicsraguan conditions
would have been shocked had it come a year or
two ago. In the troubles which seem to cul-
inmate in an administrative change there is no
evidence Of any interference on the part of
citizens of the United States and no matter
what party is uppermost there will be no trouble
so FAR as the interoceanic canal is concerned;
that partially constructed waterway is too valu-
able to be hasmed.

He Got the Fort.

One day in 1864, before Petersburg,
a captain in q Pennsylvania regiment
performed an act which, had he been
successful, would have earned for him
the thanks OF the commanding gen
eraL As it was he narrowly escaped
court martial for disobedience OF
orders. Nothing but the dashing
bravery OF the act saved him from Sc
we're punishment
He was in command OF portion of
the picket line away TO the left of
the crater, and noticed that the line
in his front was poorly manned. One
quite large fort had but three guns
brass 12-pounders. and he conceived
that BY a sudden dash the fort could
be taken. He had about 100 men in
his command, and found that they
We're not averse to little excitement
At a given signal the pickets started
forward, and in an instant all was
life and vigor. The rebels in his
front, expecting a charge in force,
fed at once. The troops in both lines
sprang into their works, bugles
sounded the alarm, staff officers gal
loped about to learn the cause of the
sudden commotion, and all along the
line musketry and artillery opened mp
on the opposing lines.
The cause OF all this turmoil paid no
attention TO anything except the bust
ness at hand. He had carefully marked
the position Of the opening of the rebel
abbatis through which the rebels
passed on the way to the picket line
and made straight for it. Before the
few men in the fort could train their
guns on the daring column, the little
band We're through the works and
dashing through the sally port. Taken
by surprise. the 2 lrrisou. only about
fifty strong, could make N defense.
but made their wav out of the fort by
the quickest route, and in less than
five minutes the fort was in the hands
OF the captain and his command, and
its guns pointed to the rear.
News Of the exploit spread like Wild
fire, and in every direction troops were
hurrying 10 the point Of threatened
contest. The rebel guns from other
points on the line were turned on the
fort, and it seemed impossible that
single one Of the brave men could es-
cape, and yet, strange to say, not one
was hurt, though the air within the
walls Of the fort was filed with hurt
ling missiles. The command simply
held the fort, waiting for assistance.
But the Union reserves had farther
to go than the re bells and il only needed
a glance at the grey masses coming
over the hill to show the captain that
they would be upon him long before
the Union troops could arrive. Ia the
meantime the abbatis in front OF the
tort had been top away to afford
line Of retreat. and when it was aopar-
ent that the Jig was up, the command
dashed over the parapet and back to
the picket line, leaving three spiked
cannons as evidence Of their brief oc-
cupation OF the fort.
All was over ia half an hour. and one
of the most brilliant failures Of the
var was at an en-.
