THE MINISTER DENIES IT
He Says the Nicarauguan
Rebels Have Not Won.
CONSUL NeWALL'S DESPATCH

DIR. Guzman is Confident that the Gov
ernment VIII Lead in the End-Ac-
cuses North Americans of Giving Aid
to the Rebels Fighting at NIanagua.
WASHINGTON, May 12-Dr Guzman,
the Nicarauguan Minister, was not at all
disturbed when shown this morning the
State Department advices from Consul
Newall at Nicarauga regarding the success
of the revolutionists, and expressed conf
dence that the government forces would
shortly be restored to power.
Dr. GuZman said that the trouble in
Ncarauga was primarily instigated by GER
tain parties in this country, who possessed
large capital and were financially inter-
estcd in affairs in Nicarauga. Those par
ties, he said were principally residents of
New York city; he knew their names and
the reason for their action, but preferred
not to state the facts at present, but would
do so later. They had acted as the revo-
lutionists accomplices and materially
aided them.
The Minister said that he had received
cablegram from his government saying
that the government had enough troops to
quell the revolutionists and the trouble
would ultimately emu ny tue CoInpleIe
overthrow of the disturbers. He further
stated that the government forces were
splendidly organized and equipped and had
at their head the only military leader of
note in Nicaragua.
The revolution would never have as
sumed such proportions, added DR.. Cuz-
man, had it not been aided by these
American capitalists and he knew that the
people of the United States will never
countenance the intervention of its citizens
in the affairs of other countries. The reyo-
lutionists, he said, had possession Of the
only cable Office in Nicaragua and were
sending out reports in their own interests.
Consul Newalls despatch which is from
Managua, the capital of the country, in
substance IS as follows:
The revolution began April 30, headed
by ex-President Zavalla. The revolution
lists hold Grenada, Managua, Rivas, Con-
tales, Mantagalpa and San Juan del Norte.
They are we'll armed. The government
forces number 1000, poorly organized and
led, while the revolutionists number from
5000 to 5000, commanded by prominent
generals The government force made
three unsuccessful attacks on Managua.
Martial law has been declared and a decree
has been issued for forced loan of $780,

WASHINGTON, May 12.--The test of the
armor plates at the Indian Head Naval
Proving grounds of nickel steel nine inches
thick representing $50 tons, manufactured
by the Carnegie Steel company and to be used
for the Amphrite, was highly successful.
Two rounds were fired from an S-inch
breech- loading rifle. The first shot pene-
trated the plate, and the second passed
through the plate and slightly into the
backing, but no cracks were made in
the plate in either instance.
MIR. Carnegie, President of the company,
was an interested spectator, 1T being the
first time he has ever attended these test S
and he was particularly pleased with the
results attained. 1t was the first plate
that ever earned the premium under the
ballastic requirements prescribed in the
late contract for armOr, which was much
wore severe than the first contract.

To thu Public in General and
Customers in Particular:

1t is new ne .rly three years since we
outgrew our present large quarters. The
great volume of business dog Q is a surprise
to ourselves as we'll as to the public. That
such business cru'd be done in a cit; of
this size is without precedent, so far as we
can learn. AND 1T Is NOT A MUSHROOM
GROWTH 1t has been built up step by step
from the bottom. 1t is the logical result
and the outgrowth of sound business
- principles 1t is the result of putting
console nee into business, quality into
goods and words into actions. In these
days, when nine .tenths IF the men who
90 into business believe that the people
must be humbugged in order to be success
full in dealing with tn, IN, it is refreshing
as we'll as encouraging to the youth of our
land to be able to- de monstrate that such
is not the truth. The old fashioned
still the ones to follow.
We have been complied to seek larger
quarters, but we will be in business at the
Old stand for some mo this to come, South
Main and Grand streets. Large bodies
move slowly and it will be so In our case
The weather of late has retarded our pro-
gress in the wav of delivering goods, but
We have done our best to satisfy our Gus
tomers, and they have been kind in over
looking some delays that teased them a
great deal, and for which we are very
sorry. We have never had such variety
of gccds before, and the low prices are
surprising every body. But this Is because
we buy in such large quantities. Our
Quaker Ranges continne to be the favor
lite; they burn less coal and bake the best
of any stove in the world, and we give a
guarantee with every one of them. Our
various lines, Carpets, Crockery, Stoves,
Ranges, Woodenware, Pictures and Far
niture were never so complete, and prices
were never 80 low. Our undertaking de-
partment is a moe of excellence, and
everybody is attended with great care
and consideration. Night calls are
answered at 80 Grand street, where two
night clerks are always in attendance.

knows that Mr.. Hummel is not above

him in court knows how quickly and
often he can jump up to make objec-
tons when he thinks them necessary.
1t seems that he came in collision q
little while ago with ex-Judge Ditten-
hoefcr, who was in an objecting mood,
and he was greatly irritated by tho
latler's deliberate methods. Appeal
ing finally 10 the court, he said:
"Your honor, it is not the gentle.
mans objections that l make excep-
ton to. but it takes him so long to get
up and sit down"
Mr.. Dittenhoefer slowly arose and
replied as follows:
"Your honor. l possess a good deal
of avoirdupois, and it requires some
exertion for me to move. am not
like my little friend there (pOinling to
