Six New Battleships Wanted.

Washington, Feb 24.-The sub-com- mittee of the house naval committee was in session four hours today preparing the naval appropriation bill. While the com mittee did not definitely deeids as to the number of battleships or =. pedo boats that should be provided for, 1t is known that some of the members insisted upon tbs necessity of six. and that if that num- Fr could not be agreed upon, at least Sur should be provided for. The num-
 CT of torpedo boats would depend con- l, ,iderably it was decided. upon the dec.s- ion concerning the constructhpp of battle ships. Tha. is to say. If sk ba fleships are determined upon, the nurpbeJ of tor pedo boats shall be lessened accordingly.

War Scarce in Nicnragna.

Washington Feb. 24.-Aceording to the news received from San Juan del Norte Nicaragua an uprising is again immi- nent in that country. Newspapers have been suppressed, but reports brought to San Juan by passengers from the interior are to the effect that the city of Leon has declared itself in favor of Baca against President Zelaya and demands Zelaya's resignation. Zelaya considers himself strong enough to put down the move ment trusting for support to the con- servatives and the friendly government of Honduras. He has discharged all cit izens of Leon from his service, and de- mands of the city the.surrender of arms and full submission. He is endeavoring to obtain the assistance of EX-President Zavala of Granada. Great excitement prevails throughout Nicaragua, especial ly as most of the national arms and am intuition are in Leon. The latest advices are that Zelaya has declared himself dictator" and that all his ministry have left him. At last reports the people of Leon were up in arms and a fight was im- minent.

Al Rotten Old Capitol.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 24.-Two weeks ago a Dallas, Tex, architect, after a careful inspection, reported to the Missis- sippi legislature that the capitol building was rotten and liable to fall at any mo- ment The opposition to the new capitol scheme was not satisfied and raised the cry that the architect, being an old Jack sonite, just wanted to scare them into spending $1 900 for new one, and insisted on another examination. Archi- tect Weather of Memphis was then em- ployed and his report today Is, if poss ble, worse than the Dallas mans He tells the solons it is useless to spend money on repairs, that the building Is decayed from foundatiofl-to dome and new one is nec- eSsary.

HOODLUMs RELEASED.
The Supreme Court of Louisiana Overrules
 New Orleans Judge.


 New Orleans, Feb. s24.-One night some time ago three hoodlums entered Annun- citation Square, one of the loveliest parks in the city, and ruined large number of shade trees and broke up many of the benches, the pieces of which they threw in the fountains. A wave of indignation swept over the city when the vandalism was announced next morning. The hood lums were arrested and tried before Judge Whitaker, recorder of the First district. Judge Whitaker "socked it to them" on the long charge, fining them for each bench and tree broken. There were seventy-two counts in all, and the vandals were sentenced to pay fine of $10 on each, or in default of the amount to go to Imprisonment in the parish pr.s- on for thirty days on each, making total fine of $720 or imprisonment for nearly six years. Public opinion unani- mously indorsed the sentence as just.
 The prisoners lawyers took the case to the supreme court and that body today decided the recorders sentence is an un- usual and unreasonable punishment in the sense of the constitution and ordered the release of the hOodlumS.

Without Foundation.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 24.-The report that Governor Bradley and Dr. Hunter met at Louisville and shook hands and made up Is said to be without founda- tion Dr. Hunter was in consultation with Ex-District Attorney Jolly of Owensboro and Mayor Todd, both bitter anti-Bradley men, today, and neither Governor Bradley nor any. of his friends were in the conference, and the feeling of the Hunter people Is bitter toward Brad ley. Dr. Hunter and the governor came back on the same train today, but neith- CT took any notice of the other. Senator Pearl, republican, is credited with hav- ing made significant remark today. He is said to have stated that in view of a row between Hunter and Bradley the for mer's election was impossible, and that things will finally wind up by the e1ec- tion of a sound money democrat.

JOINED THE INSURGENTS.
Many Spaniards Desert Under Fire From
 Their Comrades.


 Havana. Feb 22 via Tampa, Fla, Feb. 24-The government accounts of the at- tack upon Jaruco railroad town mid way between Havana and Matanzas, on the 18th are vague and lacking in many important details. Those gleamed from residents of the town. are quite different. The attack was made by Aguirre with 400 men. The volunteers of Jaruco, num- bering 250 men, surrendered by precon- certed arrangement They Joined the in- surgents, taking with them 10000 rounds of ammunition. They freed twenty eight prisoners, burned the jail, the town hall and many other buildings. The train load of troops sent from Havana was attacked upon arrival and driven from the cars one of which was armored Seven soldiers were found dead in that car. Some of the soldiers ran and joined the rebels being fired at by their com rades as they deserted Others held the telegraph and escaped only after many were shot. The town, which was an inn portant one of over 2OOO inhabitants, is now in ruins. The railroad station is one of the few buildings that escaped. After the burning of Jaruco series of engage ments with the parties of Gomez and Maceo followed, lasting two days The insurgents. as usual, moved about from place to place, tiring the columns of Gen erals Aldecoa and Linares and Colonel Hernandes and occasionally giving them a short fight, but moving on when the troops began artillery fire In addition to the forces which have recently joined Gomez other bands of Orientals are moving west through Santa Clara and Matanzas provinces. Government troops are being concentrated in the territory in which Gomez and Maceo now operate and a decisive encounter at an early day seems probable.
 Of all the sugar estates in Matanzas, Havana and Santa Clara provinces, the only one now grinding cane is Constan- eA. near Cienfuegos. It is owned by an American syndicate, at the head of which is the firm of Perkins & Walsh, New York, who recently failed. In spite of many attempts to destroy the cane and machinery, the crop is being gath cred and as rapidly turned into sugar as possible. Grinding was begun January % and has been kept up constantly since that date. At this writing 10000 bags have been produced and it is hoped 10000 bags will be ground before the season ends. As this is the only estate on the

Will Deny the Request.

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 24.--A sub- committee of the republican state com mittee called on Governor Matthews to- day and urged him to call special ses- sion of the legislature for the purpose of passing a new apportionment act as the acts of 1891 and 1893 have just been over thrown by the supreme court, leaving the act of 1885 in force. The governor heard the promise of the committee that nothing but an absolutely fair apportion- ment would be made, and then replied that he would make a formal reply to the request as soon as possible. It is al most certain that the governor will deny the request.

liquors to be sold to the members of the club on Sundays at the bar of the club He set up in defense that an incorporated social club is not a place of public bus mess and that furnishing liquors and re- treatments to members exclusively at a graduated price, without a view to profit, is not an occupation or employment and therefore the law did not apply to such clubs. The defense was overruled and Gelpi was~fined $500. He took the case to the supreme court and that body, with one dissenting opinion, affirmed the Judgment of the lower court.
