NlCARAGUAN REVOLUTION.
prs.ldsnt zslaya 1. Having Picnic
Honduras Helps the Rebels.

President ZeIAya Is Having n Picnic.
Honduras Helps the Rebels.
y NEW YORK, March 23.-A local pa
per says: 'rhe revolution In Nlea-
ragha, according to intelligence re-
eelyed,in New York through private
channels. Is more serious than the dis
patches from that country would indi-
cate. Tho strict press censorship eEtab-
lished by President Zelaya renders u
Impossible for news OF any character
except what Is favorable TO the govern
mept to be made public.
Two facts, however. seem 70 oe wen
established. First, that Zelaya is not
suppresslng the rebellion. and. second,
that the Hondurian troops which ar
-riNsA In Nicaragua on Friday last as
fhs esapposed allies OF Zelayn are quite
A. likely: 10 aid the rebels as to act IN
concert with the government troops.
"The first OF these facts Is based upon
the almost certain knowledge that the
revolutionlsts have not lost ground
that they are confident OF success since.
In every engagement. they have been
the aggressors; that they nave the NOR
nj and material support OF the great ma
jority OF the Liberal party. which placed
Zelaya in power. and that the govern
ment forces have maintained from the
beginning purely defensive attitude.
"The Hondurian troops are now In
Nicaragua and at a point midway be-
tween Leon and CorInto. In the terri
tory occupied by the rebels. Their pres
ent attitude Is one OF strict neutrality.
but II is regarded as not improbable
that their aid may, in the end. be given
to Baca, the provisional president OF the
insurgcnt government. II Honduras
espouses Baca's cause the latter VIII. II
IS believed. become victorious, since his
troops are armed with modern guns,
and animated by sentiments OF the
lofticst patriotism. inasmuch as they
are flghtinE for constitutional liberty
and TO prevent the alleged dictatorship
OF Zelaya. Without Honduras aid the
result Is likely to be In doubt for several
months.
Another element OF uncertainty is
the influences which the Salvadorian
peace commission may exert upon the
contendInK factions. II Is generally be-
lleved that their efforts VIII result In
failure. ShreSd observers OF political
events In Central America are OF the
opinion that all FIVE OF the republics
may become embrolled unless n peace
ful solution Is reached within few
weeks"

up and working crews in shafts to push
the headings out OF the various direc-
ton for big work later on.
Eighteen men went on at Z o'clock
this morning, fourteen going into the
north heading and four into the south
heading. At about 10 o'clock the four
men were sensible OF a shock and
few minutes later the mine boss came
to them and told them something had
haopened, and that they should get out
as soon as they could. When the party.
consisting OF five. reached the foot OF
the shaft, they were nearly overcome
BY gas and were hurriedly taken up in
the cage.
I'd and practical miners from the Bell.
Lewis and Yates company mines vol
unteered their services. AS the work OF
rescue proceeded. II was found that the
shock In the north heading was 30 ter
riIlc that some OF the bodies were multi
ated almost beyond recognition. The
balance had evidently been suffocated
by the foul air. The names OF the dead
recovered are:

Harry Smith, married; two children.
James Graham, ST., married; large
family.
