NICARAGUA,S REVOLUTION.
Several Serious ENGAGEMENTS, but
No Decisive Victory Yet Gained.

CORINTA, Mic, April g., via Galveston,
Tex, April 10.-For several hours on April
and Z, the insurgent troops cannonaded
Chinundega. The bombardment, however
did not dislodge the soldiers who were sent
by Honduras to the assistance of the gov
ernment of President Zelaya. At Vieaja, an
insurgent force of Leonists is taking Naga-
roat and threatening to attack Managua, the
capital of Nicaragua. The government troops
have been twice engaged with the force of
Leonists. few men have been killed on
both sides, but President Zelaya's force was
not strong enough to drive back the enemy
and 1t returned to Managua,s unsuccessful.
small detachment of President Zelayas
troops has occupied Souce, small town
about twenty-four leagues north of Leon, the
headquarters of the revolutionists. The
British war ship Comus. Capt. Dyke, having
on board over 200 officers and men arrived
here. But she will leave Corinto today for
San Juan del Sur. 1t is expected however.
that the Comus will return here on Friday
and remain at this port until the revolution
in Nicaragua is decided one way or the
other.
According to present indications the reyo-
luton in Nicaragua will continue as long as
either side can pay, feed and clothe its
soldiers. In other words the soldiers on both
sides are quite willing to remain under arms
and live without labor just as long as people
VIII pay them to do so. SoEfar as fighting is
concerned, neither side is in a. position to do
very much execution. There is much grumb-
ling at the inaction of President ZeIaya's
army and threats have been heard to cut off
his supplies of funds, unless some forward
movement is shortly commenced and some
thing tangible is accomplished. The United
States cruiser, Albert. is still here.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND HAS
TAKEN OFFICIAL. ACTION IN
BEHALF OF CUBA
MESSAGE SENT TO MADRID
,TIS THE MOST IMPORTANT DIPLO-
MATIC STEP TAKEN FOR
MANY MONTHS.
TENDER MADE IN GOOD FAITH.
Spain Asked to Accept Mediation in
the Same Kindly Spirit 1t Is Of
fered.

CHICAGO, April 10.-A special to the Times
Herald from Washington says: President
Cleveland has taken action in behalf of Cuba.
He has made to Spain a formal proposition
that the coed offices of the United States be
accepted in mediation between that country
and her rebellious colony in the West Indies.
This proposal was made in cablegram of
instructions to our minister at Madrid, Mr..
Taylor, which was dispatched today. No
diplomatic dispatch of equal Importance has
left this capitol since Secretary Olney's note
to the British government on the Venezuela
boundary question was sent to London last
summer. 1t brings to crisis the relations
between the United States and Spain, which
have been unsettled since the outbreak of
the Cuban rebellion. The note thoroughly ex-
plains the attitude of the United States, and
the reasons which have led to this action
The principal points of the dispatch are:
The president offers the good offices of the
United States government in mediation be-
tween Spain and the insurgents, with a view
to the settlement Of the trouble, and to bring
ing about peace in the island.
The note recalls the correspondence be-
tween this government and Spain at the
time of the ten years war;, when President
and the Spanish government, though declin-
ing to accept it, promised certain reforms in
Cuba. The fact that the United States was
in part, instrumental in bringing about the
settlement, and the charge that the Spanish
government has not kept its promises is
given as a reason why the United States now
has right to be heard in the case.
1t is pointed out that the present rebellion
in Cuba has assumed a much more serious
phase than has any former insurrection, the
insurgents having apparently taken posses
sion of all of the island except Havana and
small section of country roundabout. Spain
is assured of the fact that the United States
is actuated by only distinterested motives
and by desire through friendship to bring
about more pacific and satisfactory state
of affairs in the island. Spain Is urged to ac-
cept-eur good offices in the spirit in which
they are intended and the hope is expressed
that the Spanish government will see its way
to granting reforms in Cuba.
The president does not ask Spain to grant
the independence of Cuba, nor dees..ha sug-
gest that home rule be accorded the people
of that island. He leaves ali these questions
of method to be discussed after Spain shall
have expressed willingness to accept medi-
alton.

OUT FOR CAMPBELL.
The Boom of the Ohio Man Receives
Influential Backing.

CINCINNATI, o., April 1O.-The CONNER
cial-Gazette publishes an article by Hon.
Beriah Williams, publisher of the Washington
Post, supporting ex-Gov. James E. Camp
bell as the Democratic candidate for presi-
dent: 1t says:
I'm Campbell, the Ohio delegates have
candidate with whom the national Democracy
could make vigorous campaign and return
from the battle with honor, no matter what
the result might be. In all of the political
contests in which he has participated he has
been compelled to contend against great odds,
SO much SO that his name is synonymous with
uphill fghting.'
The article cites Campbelrs power as
campaigner, his loyalty to his friends and
to his promises, his political victories under
adverse circumstances, his pure personal and
political life and his transcendent ability as
a leader. Hon. Amos j. Cummings also con-
tributes communication to the Commercial
Gazette, advancing his well known views in
advocacy of Campbell for the presidency.

that the school question is farce, adding:
Sir Charles Tupper may wish to pass it; but
the Conservatives and Liberals want to take
the issue into their constituencies. 1t is sat
-isfactory to know that the matter is purely
political, and that the Manitobans will not
fight for state rights

ject, says: ''The tactics of the opposition put
to shame the most experienced obstructionists
in the house of commons. and can only injure
the side they are intended to serve"

FAKE ROBBERY.
Price Wanted Money and Fixed Up
Story.

NEW YORK, April 10-Walter H. Price,
who carried satchel containing $2,O15, was
attacked by a highwayman on Broadway this
afternoon and robbed of his valuable pack
age. Price was arrested. After he had been
in jail some time he made to Detective Cad
dell what the police believe to be a con-
fession of guilt. The detective also learned
from Price that he had been greatly in need
of money lately. James Scott, seventeen
years old, also a clerk for the Gleason COM
pany, was with Price when the robbery was
committed. Both boys were arrested as
the stories they told the police differed. Scott
was later released.
