A Big Engagement is Expected

MANAGUA. Nicaragua, Feb. 9.-The
campaign against the insurgents is
being pushed with the greatest vigor
by President Zelaya. Nagarote is now
held by small body of the. govern
= ment troops, and column is pushing
forward in the direction of Leon.
Early yesterday morning Momen-
tobo, on Lake Managua, was bonn
barded by a gunboat after the place
had been called upon to surrender.
The shells were thrown into the town,
and firing ceased when the inhabi-
tants fed in terror. The loss of the
rebels and the amount of damage done
is not known. Momentobo had de-
clared in favor of General Ortiz, the
leader of the instruction. Reinforce
ments of men, arms and ammunition
have arrived from Grenada, and sec
Ond column will be sent to the front.
The successes of the government
troops up to the present have had the
effect of making the Presidents sup
porters very confident of ultimately
suppressing the rebellion
Very little information is obtainable
concerning the doings of General
Oribe and the Leonists. but according
to a report they have succeeded in
placing over 1000 men under arms.

eminent troops. If this is the case. a
decisive engagement should shortly
take place.
There is great rejoicing here over
news that has just been received from
Tegucigalpio, the capital of Honduras,
that Honduras will send 2, 900 troops
to aid the government of Nicarauga
to suppress the revolt of the Leonists.
President Poiicarpo Bonilla, the presi-
dent of Honduras, is a warm political
friend of President Zelaya, and he has
made himself the most popular man in

Mr.. Linton has prepared a resolution

shall be placed there, and claiming
that Father Marquette was not a citi-

Objects to Appropriation for
Coast Defenses.
Cooper Union, New York, Filled
With Laborers.
HENRY GEORGE TALKS.
They Will Boycott Congressman
Who Support 1t.
Denounced as a Scheme of Mo-
nopolists.

New YORK, Feb. e-Members of
the Central Labor Union, sympathiz-
ers of organized labor and others
filled the large hall of Cooper Union
to protest against the proposal ex-
penditure of 500, 900, 900 for coast de-
tense, as well as more millions for an
increased navy.
There were number of speeches by
labor leaders in opposition to war, and
the secretary then read q set of reso-
buttons denouncing the proposed APP
preparation, which were adopted, with
but few dissenting voices.
Henry George, who followed, asked
that those in favor of the resolutions,
and those opposed should rise in turn.
Those opposing amounted to hardly
more than two dozen. Mr.. George,
after saying that he respected the
ants for their courage of their con-
victions, said that in one respect he
could always be counted with the
socialists, and that was in his OppOsi-
ton to war. President Cleveland's
message on the Venezuelan difficulty
he characte rized as '.insane," and said
that when it was made public, one
would have thought from the news
papers that New York had gone mad.
The proposed appropriation, he said,
he considered to be a carefully laid
plan to build up a standing army,
which will crush labor whenever it
dares to raise its head.
LAS citizen of the United States,
and from thought, study, reason and
conviction" he SAID, II would rather
see every locomotive thrown from the
rails, every car broken, every rail torn
up, than to see order preserved by the
bayonets of a standing army. Order
Is heavens first law, but there is one
thing 1 prize before order, and that is
liberty"
Resolutions, of which the following
is an extract, were adopted unani-
mously:
Whereas, The undisguised purpose
of the monopoIists and rings, who
have grasped political power and are
robbing the workers under laws passed
at their instance, and by their pur-
chase, is to so increase and mass a
standing army that they May rule by
injunctions, backed by federal bayo-
nets. and
whereas, AS means to this end
bills are pending in the Senate and
House for the appropriation of $780,
COO, 900 for coast defenses and other
millions for more ironclads, the money
to be drawn from treasury kept from
bankruptcy by the issue of bonds un-
authorized by Congress and jobbed
out to favored capitalists, ultimately
to be repaid, with interest, by fresh
taxes on labor; therefore,
Resolved, That we pledge our
selves, and ask our brethren in other
places to pledge themselves, to vote
against every member of Congress, no
matter what his party or profession,
who shall support any of these bills;
and that we especially call on Thomas
B. Reed, speaker of the House, to act
as true tribune of the people in pre-
venting their passage"

West Rather Than at the East.
NEW YORK, Feb. Or. G. Dun &
Co. g weekly review of trade says:
In some quarters business gains at
the West rather than at the East. but
there is 10 general change for the
better, although hopefulness still pre-
dominates. The want of sufficient de-
-mand for the products of great indus
tries still retards actual Improvements
Strikes of some Importance in garment
making and kindred lines affect trade
in Chicago and Baltimore, but there
are fewer labor difficulties than usual,
as existing conditions warn wage
earners that controversies at this time
are unwise.
Wheat has taken a fight upward,
advancing n cents for cash. and 3-s
cents for May, with rumors of foreign
supplies as the only basis. Estimates
of wheat in farmers hands are lower
than last year, but still indicate, with
visible stocks, a supply much beyond
probable needs.
The falling off in the total number
of business failures throughout the
United States week ago is continued,
the total being 271, compared with

AFTER 40 YEARS
Prof. SamuelS' Successful Work Again
Heard From.
CatarrHs. Is On the Road TO
Complete Recovery.

Mrs. Casad, who lives at 1918 East
Sixth street, is now enjoying the benefit
of Prof. SamueIs' superior knowledge of
the eye and its treatment. She has been
a sufferer from catarrh for forty years.
for a time on one side, but later on both
sides of the head. During the early
years of her fiiction she doctored con-
stantly, and today you can't mention a
patent catarrh nostrum with which she
is not familiar.
But as they all gave only temporary
relief she quit them some time ago and
lately has used nothing but plain salt
water. This, of course, did not cure, but
only relieved the inflammation.
In the course of time, this insidious
disease, as it always does, began to affect
the eyes. OF all it's disagreeable fea-
lures this was the most serious. Along
with the weakness of the eyes came the
inevitable headache, and Mrs. Casad be-
came a constant sufferer.
Her eyes became SO weak that she
could not distinguish one person from
another or from any other object. She
was compelled to get new glasses quite
often, and while they would assist the
vision some at frat, each appeared soo7
to give out. To use her own language:
81 actually felt SO bad sometimes when
meal time came that l would rather do
without eating than to try to get it.
And l couldn't see to get it properly
anyway"
About four months ago it became nee
essary for her to have a pair of now
glasses and she concluded to try Prof
Samuels. Besides the glasses he also
gave her the preparation to drop in the
eye.
When the reporter called, Mrs. Casad's
sight was most entirely restored, al
tho ugh she was still using the medicine.
The glasses she often laid aside for sew
eral hours and was able to see az we'll as
she ever could. Tho headache was gone
also, but the greatest wonder of all was
the change concerning the catarrh. AL
though for 40 years she had not been
without the disease for day, yet now it
was in fair way to be entirely cured
in fact. is nearly cured now. Mrs.
Casad is very enthusiastic concerning
Prof. Samuels, and says he has done hel
more good than any person or medicine
she ever tried She is now doing mis-
| sionary work among her friends and saw
| she expects in q short time to~have {
number of her friends go up and b,
| cured as she has done.

hat prevails there have organized
bravely and expressed purpose to ap-
