Is Triumphant.

Washington, Feb. 24-Guzman, the
Nicaraguan minister to the United
States has received the following ca
blegram from the minister of foreign
affairs of that country:
tTegucigalpa, the capital of Hondu-
ras, capitulated last night Publish
this cablegram. Our victory puts an
end to the war in Honduras
The minister added: 80 Nicaragua
came out victorious"
This message contained Ill the in
formation known concerning the latest
developments in Hondurau affairs 1t
is believed the armies OF Nicaragua
will now withdraw from the soil OF
Honduras after the provisional gov
eminent which Bonilla and mis- Hon
duran associates will establish, is
firmly entrenched and able Go put
down any disorders which might arise.
1t is regarded as practically certain
that the new president Of Nicaragua
will be Bonilla, leader Of the Hondu-
ran opposition to Vasquez, the de-
throned president This would be en-
tirely natural now that the former in
surgent is victorious. Vasquez, it is
supposed, will leave the country and
Nicara qua will permit the people Of
Honduras to settle their affairs in
! their own way

Chicago, Feb. 24-From present APP
pearances low rates to the Pacific
coast will shortly prevail The Atchi-
sons reply to the Southern Pacific's
boycott is that the rate from Chicago
to Los Angeles will be kept at sl5 less
than the direct rate to San Francisco.
This reduction takes effect on March
1, and is expected to cause serious
trouble, as the lines routing via Ogden
will be compelled to make like re-
duction or be prepared to lose the
southern California business.
General Passenger Agent Goodman,
of the Southern Pacific, today issued
a circular explaining his position in
annulling the agreement with the At
Gibson regarding business routed vil
Barstow and Los Angeles to and from
San Francisco. The Atchison LOday is
sued circular concerning the boycott,
Which states that for the present it
will not issue tickets via BarstoW and
Los Angeles to points on the Southern
Pacific, but the boycott does not inter-
fere with the business tickeied ever
the Santa F'e via Ogden, Ell Paso, Dem
ing. or Mojave.
The following rates are announced
as effective on and after March 1: Chi
cago to Mojave, Los Angeles, San
Diego, and all points in southern Cali
fornia, $500; round trip $50 so; rates
from st. Louis to Mojave points are
in proportion.

New York, Feb. 24-Before Princess
Colonna and her children left New
York on Thursday for San Francisco,
she granted an interview to the editor
in-chief of the LEGO dEtalia. This
proof of the interview was sent to the
princess for revision. She said:
"I was indignant at the falsity Of
some of the accusations against the
prince. When some Of the papers said
the prince was one of the most danger
Gus of gamblers and a cheat, they mis-
took my husband for Lambert Colonna,
who was expelled from the club in
Rome some time ago for cheating"
How about the statement made for
you by your step-brother, Mr.. Mack
ay?'
"Oh, that is all true. from the first.
word to the last"
1.-THE prince" said the interviewer,
denies it most emphatically and says
he never intended to kidnap any OF
your children
Il believe my husband denied my
statements in order to make it appear
that I came to America. because I
feared the judgment of the French tri-
bunal. Prince COlonna is a man OF
terribly violent character. One night,
in Paris, because I refused to ask nv
Istep-father, Mr.. Mackay, for more
money for him, he threw a bottle Of
wine at me, and it was only by a mir
acle that 1 escaped from being struck
1t is not true that Mackay sent us
81, 100000 to pay the princes debts, but
it is true that Mackay often sent us
very large sums of money to pay
various debts of my husband
It is also untrue that was obliged to
sell my wedding presents to pay his
debts; but I was forced to pawn my
jewels several times. Like all profess
sional gamblers, my husband had his
good and bad days at the gambling
table; but when he won he wasted large
sums of money. That is not ALL how
ever, that 1 have against him His
behavior toward me was unbearably
| insulting. 1 remained with him eight
years in the hope that there would be
some change, as wanted to do all I

ceedings to obtain an annullment Of

To the suggestion that this might
/ be out of the power of the San Fran
cisco courts. as the marriage had been
performed in Paris, the princess re-
piled only with meaning smile.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Today's session
Of the House was brief and devoid OF

seignoriage bill throwing aside all pre-
tence of not filibustering and boldly in
jecting motions to take a recess and
adjourn to prevent vote on Bland

Monday to prevent tilibustering, when
the fighting viii go on. The House
leaders insist that the struggle will not
be abandoned until vote is had on the

peated votes on a motion to adjourn fol

therefore, move the house adjourn"
Without division, it was carried. and

the history Of the case and the facts
upon which the indictments were foun-
ded. l am entirely satisfied, after
such examination, THAT Wiman has
committed no crime and unless | am
greatly misinformed the trial will de-
velop a state of facts which will show
that Wiman is not only not a crimi-
nal, but has done nothing that car
seriously reflect upon his honor or in
tegrity as man. am not in the hab-

road company and tie Western Union
Telegraph company was docketed in
the Supreme Court today.
The United States is the appellant

BRIGHT BITS FROM BERLIN.
The Emperor solid on the, Russo.
German Treaty.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-[Copyrighted, 1894
by the Associated Press. 1.-The rumor
that after the passage of the Russo
German commercial treaty the czar
will pay a visit to Emperor William is
much discussed in political circles
From a trustworthy source it is learned
that the matter has not been preached
by either of the two governments.
De Nolidopp, Russian ambassador TO
Turkey, stopped here this week on his
way to st. Petersburg, and the fact
that he chose the Berlin route is COM
mented upon, as showing the improved
lrelations between Germany and Russia
since the treatay was signed. Should
an imperial meeting be decided upon
later, it will probably occur upon the
occasion of the cars return from his
annual visit to Copenhagen, and while
the emperor is attending the east
Russian army manoevers. 1t is esti-
mated the Russo-German treaty will
be carried by a majority of twenty
i've. the bulk of the national liberals
having decided to either support the
government or abstain from voting.

swope is here consulting with his
I brother, James Swope. relative to the
testimony by DR.. T. L. Lewis. in which
the name of his deceased brother, Hon.

Swopes and DR.. Lewis are both con-

The Swopes say the statement to the
effect that DR.. Lewis saw their broth

unqualifedly false, as he was then in
Europe, and they viii be able to prove
that Colonel Swope was not 2cquain-

AFTER THE INSURANCE.
The Agricultural Building Heap
of Ruins.

Chicago, Feb 24-Another incen-
diary fire occurred at the Worlds fair
grounds this morning, and as result
the magnificent agricultural building
pronounced by many good judges
the most sumptuous and beautiful of
the Worlds fair structures, is practi-
|cally a heap Of ruins.
The flames were first discovered in
the great dome. A large number of
fire engines were at once summoned to
the scene, but the inf1ammable nature
of the structure caused the fire to
spread with great rapidity under the
influence Of a stiff breeze, and it was
labout all the department could do to
prevent its spread to the other struc-
lures. This they succeeded in doing,
but the agricultural building was
ruined.
The famous prize statue of Diana by
Sculptor st. Gaudens, which ornament
ed the dome Of the building during the
fair, was, fortunately, removed some
days ago and was set up in the Column
bian museum.
