iIpager Details of two Battles in Nicaragua
with tha RevOlutionists

SAN JUAN DEL SUR NICARAGUA, Jnly
29.-It is difficult TO obtain information
from the interior. but reports have
reached here that General Zsvata has
strongly fortified Granada and hos
organized an army of 1900 men to defend
the city. Details of the battles fought
at Mateares, where the govern.
ment forces made their first defense
of Managua. and the one at Msnagua,
whea the government troops were forced
TO evacuate the capital. are gradually COM
ing in. General Zelay, who aided
in the overthrow of Sscaza and
afterward joined the revolutionary party
of Leon. led the attacking troops on each
occasion. A determined resistance was
made by the government forces, COM
manded by General Avilez. the commander
in-chief. There was desperate fighting at
each place.
The loss of life was enormous. General
Zavals. President of Granada government,
admits that six hundred men lost their
lives in two engagements. but the low
est estimate placed by impartial
observers upon the combined loss of the
two armies in the battles of Matenres and
Managua is from 1000 to 1.I00 lives. The
fighting was at close range and the most
desperate ever witnessed IN Nicaragua

farms find their worst atilictlons In the
weeds aud the weather. The stock ex-
change witnesses shrinkages IN corpo-
rate values reaching from 50 to so per cent;
but the farm loses nothing in it's fertility
and but little in its market value. The
wage-earn-ri in the shops and factories may
lose employ ment: but the farmer has no
fear of losing his job or his living as long
as there are human mouths which must
have bread. The financial. commercial and

HUNTING FOR EXCUSES.

Belittling Methods Of Commissioner Loch-
rem TO Cut on Pensions Exposed.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Ex-Assistant
Secretary Bussey and ex.Commissioner
Tanner give very positive and circum-
stantiai contradiction to Deputy Com
missioner Bells statements to the effect
that sixteen employees of the Pension Bu-
reau whose pensions wereiiiegally increased
in 1889 by Commlssioner Tanner were still
drawing their pensions at the increased
rate IN contempt of specific instructions
given by Assistant Secretary Bussey that
the old and lower rating be restored. They
also deny the further statement that these
orders of Assistant Secretary Busssy
had been secIeted and were only recently
discovered by Commissioner Lochren. Ex-
aminations of the alleged decisions dis
closes the fact that only four of them bear
any specific date. tive arc dated August.
1859, and the Others have no date whatever.
All of the cases except two are igned by
Assistant Secretary Buss-y. one of these
having no signature and the otner his
name in typewrting. When the attention
of fex-Cornmissioner Tanner was called to
the matter he stated very emphatically
that he had never seen the alleged de-
cisions. although he remained In office until
Sept. IL. 1853, nor had he ever heard OF them
until to-day.

cisions were referred to and quoted had
