UNEASY NICARAGUA.
Conspiracy to Overthrow Presi
dent Zelaya, Has Wrought
Up Bitter Feeling.

New York, Nov. 13.-A special
to the Herald from Panama
says: A correspondent in Mica
ragua says that the political no.
rizon there is still dark and that
great feeling has been wrought
up by the conspiracy there to
overthrow President Zelaya.
Chamoia, Antonio, Solarizano
and Salvador, who are under ar
rest charged with the crime of re-
bellion, are still in prison and
President Zelaya persists in re-
fusing to lower the bond. Bail
in the sum of 100000 has been
offered by friends of the prison
ers for their release.
Recently a train conveying the
project and other functionaries
from ChinandOga, was held up
by a, mob in the town of Leon
and stoned. Gen. Alvarez, COM
mander of the Nicaragua troops,
who was on the train, was Sc
verely wounded. The police of
Leon sided with the mob and no
attempt was made to prevent the
assault on the government Off
Gals. There were combined cries
of "Down with the government"
down with Zelaya;" "Viva Gen.
Ortiz" from the mob. General
Ortiz, one of the leading spirits
of the present disturbance, is
now in exile, but he is very pOpu-
lar.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Dec. 28.-The stock mar
ket ruled about as dull as previous to
the holidays and, although there were no
influences that have not recently been
operative, the tone was heavy the great
er part OF the day. Professionals to-day
displaced the only interest that was dis
cernible in the speculation and the main
argument against prices was the unsat-
isfactory character Of the traffic returns,
chiefly for the third week in November
In the final hour the market was enliven-
ed by a moderate burst Of activity on
movement and prices rallied in many in
stances. London quotations came lower,
but the arbitrage operations were not
noteworthy owing to n disposition to a
wait the outcome Of the London fort
nightly settlement, which began to-day.
The failure of long stock to come out
induced a rally in the late dealings, an

vanced about point from the early low
figures, on the reported improving con
dition of the anthracite coal trade due to
the more seasonable weather and the
announcement Of the payment Of Janua-
ry interest on the general As. The mar

generally.
Railway bonds were duh and fraction
