TOWN FORWARDED.
President Zelaya Pushing the Insur-
 gents With Vigor.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 29.-- The campaign against the insurgents is being pushed with the greatest vigor by President Ze,aya The president decided not to wait for the Leonists to attack Managua and ordered an ad- vance on the enemy capturing the town of Nagarole, twenty-five miles from here. The town is held by a small body of government troops and the column is pushing forward in the direction of Leon.
 This morning Momentobo was bom- barded by a gunboat and the insur- gents fled in terror. The amount of damage done is not known. The suc- cess of the government troops up to the present has the effect of making the presidents supporters very confi- dent of ultimately suppressing the re- bellion.
 It is reported that Gen. Ortiz and the Leonists have 4,000 armed men to meet the government troops.

A PLEASANT FUNCTION.
Young Mems Dancing Club Gives a
 Cotillion.

Probably the event of the season in Phoenix was the cotillion given at Redewill hall on Friday evening by the Fortnightly Dancing club. This club which is limited to twenty-five members was recently organized by some of the young men and this was their second hop. While the cotilEon or german is danced everywhere it is comparatively unknown in Phoenix, being the second one ever given here.
 The affair was under the direction of MT. George Tousey, who has had years of experience in such matters and to him and his charming wife who assisted him in giving out the favors the entire success of the evening is due.
 MT. Fred Wood and Miss Daisy Ben nett led and considering that many of the dancers among the men had never seen anything of the kind be- fore, it was remarkable how smoothly everything went off. The figures were those familiar to dancers of the ger man, the foretaste being the sash figure" where the sashes were of the carnival colors. The favors were neat, those for the first figure being punches of red, white and blue carnations.
 The ladies were all attired in full evening dress and looked their pret- tiest, while the gentlemen wore the regulation full dress costume.
 The floor of the hall was in prime condition for dancing; the music was excellent and every one had thor oughly good time. So enjoyable was the evening that it was the universal wish that the next dance be another cotillion instead of the promised calico party.
 The club membership which is lim- ited to twenty-five, is full and dozen names waiting for the first vacancy, Sc that it's success as a factor in Phoenix social life is more than assured and ] the young gentlemen who originated

The members of the senate and the house have been Overwhelmed with expressions of sympathy from every kind of organization and from hund- reds of thousands of individuals, all indicative of the eagerness for the lib tration of Cuba and mot a man on the floor of either chamber has the slight est fear of offending his constituents in going to any extreme in this direc- tion

Total delegates. .

The county central committees of the
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
ests have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at it's said meeting, all Dem
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the Democratic party on the leading
principles enunciated in it's Chicago
platform, and especially on the great
declaration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro.

that they are chosen as representatives
at county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and of
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party in favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to its constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, IL is
the hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be fully
s111snded and memorable gathering Of
ronrs4~D tattS4 Democrats from every
ooomirs f ~ territory. To this end all
ciaiIt6e of this territory, within the pur-
vie9 X this call, are urged to take an
sstiS6 Interest In the preliminary steps

important work Of the same.
