GRANADA, Nicaragua-What is be- lieved will be the decisive battle in the revolution against the authority of President Sacaza has been opened. After days spent in preparation, the government troops began an advance this morning. The purpose was to attack the revolutionist at Barranca, near Malaga. As the government forces advanced the battle was begun by the revelutioni.ts, whose artillery opened vigorous fire upon the at tacking columns. The revslutionists believe the engagement now in prog ress will resuls favorsbly to their cause, and hope i. will be the decisive battle of the movement to overthrow Sacaza. Large crowds are gathered in the streets awaiting news Of the battle which will be brought from the front by messengers.
 WAsHINGToN-The absorbing topic in church circles IS sensational in cident which occurred Sunday in the First Presbyterian church, the pastor of which is Rev. Dr. Sunderland. The church was crowded and President and Mrs. Cleveland were present. Rev. Dr. Merle Smith. pastor of the church attended by Mrs. Cleveland in New York, who was guest at the White House, was invited to preach and took for his text, Bear Ye One Another's Burdens" The young preacher charmed his hearers by his eloquent plea for union in the church. At the conclusion Dr. Sunderland arose and said: I am sure we all have enjoyed Dr. Smiths sermon, bu. there is one important omission. He neglected to state the cause of dis sension and distraction in the Presby- terian church at this time-the reason why the church has failed to accom- plish what it ought to. want here. now, to state the cause. That cause is Dr. Briggs. I would not be in that mans shoes today for all the world. Let us sing hymn No. 533."..
 WAsHrNGToN-On the request of Secretary Smith, the secretary of war Las furnished the interior department with list ef army officers from which he recommends that selections be made for Indian agents.
 Secretary Smith said Tn cases where present agents are inefficient or for any other reason unsatisfactory, they will be displaced by army officers. It is his purpose to place an army officer in charge of every agency except these where Indians are in an advanced state st sivilisstiea.

Grand Jury.

 il is largely made up of copy of the minutes of the board O supervisors, which was officially published in the PRosPEcToR in January last, makes its publication as an item of news waste of labor.
 It contains many good recommend ations. Among them may be men toned that the sheriff collect every license from saloons and gambling games before they open up.
 That a new floor be put down in the kitchen at the hospital.
 That new blankets be provided for the jai!.
 That the butchers be compelled to report every month.
 We shall deal with one recommend ation that on the face of it seems jast, but is in reality absurd. The jury recommended that the county officers, with three exceptions, file new bonds for the reason that bondsmen have qualified on the bonds for more than they are assessed for on the tax roll of 1892. This really looks serious, but let us see about it. If the rule were established throughout the territory that bondsmsn could not qualify for more than his name is down for on the ] assessment roll of his county, 1t would not only. be contrary to the statute on bonds, but would invalidate every | bond, with perhaps few exceptions, in the territory. The law states that ' a surety must state under oath that | he is worth the sum for which he be- ! comes surety in anincumbered prop erty in the territory. As the assess ment roll contains only the property situated within Cochise county, how did the grand jury arrive at their con- i clusion as to the assessed valuation of the bondsmen in the territory? The only way it could be done would be to write to each county in Arizona and get d certified copy 0! their respective assessment rolls.
 The bond of County Treasurer Scribner was assailed along with the rest, and for tre sake of comparison and to make clear the injustice of going to the assessment roll for an idea of a mans standing as a bonds man, the following is copied from the report:
 ! We find that the bond of the county treasurer aggregates SS3,OOO, repre- | scented by nineteen suretles, the as sessed valuation of whose property, as shown by the assessment roll of 1S92 is S42 ,l6O, or difference of Sil ,3IO The names of two Of these sure,ies do Dot appear on the assessment roll. | One is a nonresident, and une is a supervisor, which is contrary 10 the law.
 NIT. Hare was not 1 supervisor when he went on the ceInty treasurer bond. and the fact of his being there now cuts no figure, ss child can see by reading Sec. 30 Par. 3lOI Revised Statutes.
 Letus go back two years to the time when MT. McAllister's bond was filed. His bond was passed upon by the board, of which Messrs. Montgomery, Bryan and White were members. It was accepted without question. Here | was the bond:

 To the Hon. R. E. Sloan. judge of the frs; judicial district.
 SIR-We the grand jury for the May term, 1893, respectfully submit this our final report.
 We have examined the booKs and affairs of the various county offices and report of various committees Is hereto attached and made part of this report.
 There were 27 cases presented to our notice and of them we found r indictments, ignored nine and dismiss ed one.
 Reports of committees appointed U inquire into the affairs of the various county and precinct officers:
 TREAsURER's OFFICE.
 We, your committee appointed to examine into the affairs of the County Treasurer, beg leave to report as fol- lows: That We have made an exami- nation of the books of saiu office and find that there should be on hand at the present time the sum of $22 ,409.16 A careful count of the money on hand shows the above figures to be correct. The books of the county treasurer are kept in a neat and comprehensive manner. P. B. SOTO,

 CLERK OF DIST. COURT.
 We your committee appointed to examine into the affairs of Clerk of the District Court, report as follows. That the books of said office are very neatly kept and that all work con- nected with said office is carefully and thoroughly performed.
 P. B. SoTo,
 WILLARD A. FIEGE,
 H. c. HERRICK,
 JAIL, RECORDER AND ASSESSOR. Your committee appointed to ex- anime into the JaIl, Recorder and Assessors offices beg leave to submit this our report: We found the jail in a neat condition and that the pris- oners receive sufficient food for their maintenance and consider that all pre- cautions are taken for the safe keep ing of the prisoners, but would recom- mend that certain cells be ironed on tue floors and sides. We would also recommend that supply of blankets be purchased for the use of prisoners, as in our opinion, the bedding now in use is not conducive to cleanliness. We find the books of the Recorder office Kept Tn a neat legible manner. We find that in reference to butcher bonds, that since Jan. lst 1893. only one bond. that of A. H. Vanghn has been filed. We find that only four. butchers, Nesbit, H. W. Etz & Co.,, A. Bauer and R. TIbolet have made monthly report of animals slaughter ed for the month of April as provided for in section 973 Title XIV Revised Statutes of Arizona. We also find that one butcher at Huachuca has made no report whatever. We find also that no report has been filed with the County Recorder of births and deaths of children, except from Drs. : Sweet, Huse, Hamilton and Sullivan as provided for in section 640, title x Revised Statutes of Arizona.
 We found the Assessor busy on the assessment roll and are unable to make a report on game as it is in an incomplete condition. Respectfully submitted.

A total of S7O,00O. This was a gilt edged bond, and still all of these men only represented total assessed valu- ation, as shown by the assessment roll of that yea of S29,O00 or diference ofSJI.0OO. Mir. Leach did not have his name on the assessment roll then {; neither has he now. but to say that he cannot qualify on Mr. Scribner's bond c. Tiv,122n just as he did on MT. Me Allister's for four years is suggestive of anything bu: reason.
 It is the duty of the board of super visors to examine every bond with the assistance of the district attorney, to pass upon the qualifications of sure- ties. This year the work was thor oughly done. Never Lefore in the history of the county have such clean bonds been given by it's county officers. Instead Of allowing four or five men to go on bonds for a large amount the supervisors required a larger number with smaller amounts set opposite their names.
 A railroad is to be constructed from Bowie to Globe. It is to be exempt from taxation for tea years. Does it follow that the promoters and owners of the road bed and rolling stock are not good and sufficient bondsmen be cause their names are not to be on the assessment roll?
 The report of the grand jury on the board of supervisors office recem- mend that the custom of allowing excessive salary to the clerks of the board be discontinued. This matter has already been settled by the legis- laturs by an act that hes bssn in fescs

Assistant Secretary Busssy Points Out .
Wrong Interpretation of the Disability Act
Order.
The construction of the order made by the
Interior Department on October Is, 1890. to
carry into effect the provisions Of the .'disa-
bility act" has been misinterpreted by the PEN
sion Office. This is the conclusion expressed by
Assistant Secretary Bussey In a recent letter to
the pension Office. The extent of the wrong
Interpretation, Gen. Bussey saws is $50 far it
has been your practice to add the separate NOM
bilities in making a rate under this act. This
has resulted by reason OF the fact that it has
been your practice under the old law to COM
bine these rates where the total does not ex-
coed eli. 1t is deemed proper to state that The
department in approving said order did not in
tend that small rates shall be added together,
as for example. three or more rates of %. in
order to make q rate under the provisions of
said act
The basis Of rates under the act Of June "a,
1880, is inability to earn support by reason Of
incapacity for manual labor due to a per-
manent mental or physical disability not the
result Of vicious habits. In determining
whether an applicant is entitled to a rate under
said act for the character Of disability afore-
mentioned, the only question is, is he from the
cause or causes involved-be they one or many
disabled for the performance Of manual labor
to the extent represented by the rate of Sc? II
SO he is entitled to the minimum rate OF So, and
SO on until the maximum rate of Sl2 il
reached.
at is directed that the views herein ex-
pressed be observed in future adjudications Of
claims under the act Of June "a. 1890"
