THE MIDWINTER FAIR
WORK AT THE GROUNDS GOING
ON RAPIDLY.
The Formal Opening Set for January
2Oth-The Fine Arts Building Conn
pIete--Eastern Exhibits Ex-
pected Every Day.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.-Work at the
exposition grounds is going rapidly on.
AS yet, however, very few exhibits have
arrived from the east, but hundreds OF
cars are on the way and expected every
day.
The executive committee gave out the
information today that the official OPEN
ing would probably take place about the
goth OF this month. The fine arts build
ing is now complete and has been turned
over to the exposition management. All
the other buildings are complete, with
the exception of some interior decora-
tion.
Steamers arriving from the north
within the next two or three days will
bring great deal of material for the
exposition. Oregon's building, which is
being made in sections within her own
territory, is expected to come down in
this way, and will be put up Immediately
upon its arrival. Lumber for the Hum
boldt county building is also coming
down by boat, and great many indi-
vidual and company exhibits are taking
the same route.
There is not very brilliant prospect
just at present for representation OF
the state OF Washington at the exposi-
tion. The people OF Spokane, however,
still expect to De able to make an ex-
hibit, but this exhibit will be principally
of the mining resources in that section
of the state.

WARRING In EARNEST.
HOSTILITIES BEGUN IN CENTRAL
AMERICA.
Hondurian Insurgents Invade Honduras

Challenge Accepted by the
Nicarsguan Army.

New York, Jan. 2.-The Herald's
special from Managua. dated January
End, says; War between Nicaragua and
Honduras has begun in good earnest (;
already Policarpo Bonilla. leader of the
Hondurian insurgents, has invaded
Honduras from the Nicaragua line, cap
tured the town of YuEcaran, set
up a provisional government
and President Zelaya of Nics-
ragus has recognized its author
ity. The provisional government was
set up in the town of Corpus. December
30th, the Gay on which that place WAS
captured by Bonila after five hours
siege. President Vssquez's losses in the
engagement were % killed and five
wounded. The insurgents had three
killed and several wounded.
Bonilla'H men are now surrounding
Choluleca and cutting off communities
ton with the interior. They made a
desperate attempt to take Uartel, which
was successfully defended by General
Villera. General Rosas was killed in
this engagement. Tine besieging army
has not given MP hopes and will try it
again. They are camped around the
town and endeavoring to starve out
Vasquez's troops.
President Vasquez's haughty chal-
lenge to Nicaragua. in his decree OF
October 30th, was accepted by the MIC
araguan army, and it decided to invade
his territory and help Bonilla and the
Hondurian rebels. Three thousand
Nicaraguan soldiers, commanded by
General Ortez, occupied San Luis and
Cycopino December oath, awaiting
Vaequez's threatened invasion of Mica
raguan soil. Vasquez had reinforced
his command by a loyal force from
Cholutoca and from Corpus, and a
battle near Cholutoca seemed inevi-
table. The invaders are trying to gain
possession of Amapala, and in the
meaptime Nicaragua is recruiting more
trogos to send to the frontier.

By the Associated Press.
FRESNO, CAL, Jan. 2,-Five days have
elapsed since the escape of Evans, and
the matter has reached the rumor epoch.
The first one that seemed plausible was
to the effect that Evans had been killed
and the posse would arrive here with bis
body at pm. The fact that the hour
of their arriva. was given caused many
to believe it for time, and many times
did the Jail officials answer the tele-
phone in response to inquiries in the
matter.
About noon another rumor was cur
rent announcing with recurring creduity
that Evans had neen captured without
battle, and that the posse would ar
rive with him at 2 pm. Like the
previous one, it WAS run down but never
verified.
Later in the evening third rumor
was circulated that both Evans and
Morel had been killed at Sampeon's fat
by ex-Sherif Mead and John White.
The previous rumors made this more
readily believed than those previous.
and the telephones were kept busy for
some little time until it was found it
was csnard.
ALI end was put to rumors when John
j. White, one of the posse, made his
appearance at the sherifrs Office about
Z 80 O'Clock this evening. White left
the posse yesterday, having important
private business which called him home.
From him it was learned that nothing
definite has been heard of either
Evans or Morel since Friday
afternoon, when they recrossed over
Kings river and are somewhere in
Sampson's fiat. There are few who
believe they have made their escape
across the mountains and are on the
road across the Mississippi valley. This
is very improbable on account of the
deep snow they would necessarily en-.
counter.
Only one thing in the matter is GER
tain, and that is that the pursuing
| oficers do not know or have much idea
where Evans and Morel are.
Mrs. Evans is again free. She had
an examination before Justice Austin
this afternoon on the charge of aiding
her husband to escape from Jail, but the
evidence was not sufficient and the
charge was dismissed.
