STORMED AND TAKEN
CITY OF METAPA CAPTURED BY
NICARAGUAN SOLDIERS.
A Stronghold Occupied by the Rebel
Leonists-1 900 Reported to Have
Been Killed and Wounded.

Copyright, 1896. by the Associated Press)
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March H.
This city Is in a frenzy OF ex-
element and rejoicing over the news re-
ceived Of three great victories scored by
the government forces to-day over their
opponents, the Leonist rebels. The city of
Metapa was taken to-day by storm after
two days hard fighting. The capture was
attended with great slaughter, news from
the scene placing the number Of killed and
wounded as high as one thousand men.
Metapa is situated in the midst of high
mountains In the Setentrional department
and not very far from the frontier Of Hon
duras. 1t was considered the stronghold OF
the rebels and was relied on by the in
surgents to fall back on as a last resort.
The rugged character of the country in
which the town is located and its almost
inaccessible approaches made the assault
particularly hazardous and uncertain. The
fan of the rebel stronghold is greeted here
as a great triumph for the government
cause.
The town of Mora also succumbed to-day
to Zelayas arms with heavy rebel losses.
The troops supplied by the President OF
Honduras to assist President Zelaya are
doing active service and are In full career
down the western coast or the Occidental
department. They have already occupied
ceeding southwark. They are expected to
take Chinandega tomorrow, which is, next
to Leon. the largest rebel city in the re-
public. The old and the new towns ss. to-
thousand inhabitants. Chinandega is only
/ twenty miles north of Leon. Managua has
put on gala attire to celebrate the news and
the sound Of much cheering and. drinking
of healths.

not 10 such a degree, he is a favorite with
his Holiness. He has already rendered dis

CRAzED BY HYPNOTISM.


CHAMBERSBURG, Pa, March 17.-What
appears to be clear case OF insanity from
hypnotic influence was developed here yes
terday and to-day before a commission ap-
pointed Saturday by Judge Stewart to INQUIRE
into the sanity or lunacy of Miss Emma
Fortney, welLknown young woman of
this place.
The testimony produced before the COM
mission, tho evidence OF the family physician
and the facts related by members OF the
unfortunate young woman's family seem to
show that Miss Fortney's insanity is the re-
suit OF the unwarranted use Of hypnotic DOW
or. or the undue influence OF stronger mind
over a weaker. The young woman, who is
now sadly demented, has been housekeeper
for three OF her sisters, who are employed
In clerical capacities in various business es-
tablishmerts OF the town, and the family ia
well known, neighbor OF the Fortneys is
a woman known AZ pow-wow'' doctor,
VINO cures by the utterng OF words and
other influences and spells.
For nearly a year past this woman and
Miss Fortney have been very intinate and
the elder woman exercised a strange infiu-
enee over the younger Whenever she was
called she went. even allowing the family
meals 10 burn up while she answered the
summons 4rom the neighbor. and whatever
sne was told by the older woman TO do she
did. She answered the mysterious summons
at any hour OF the day or night. and then
seemed TO be under a spell. TO the remon-
sfrances OF her family she could only an
swer that she could not help Il; that she
must go" On Tuesday last, while under
one. or these strange spells. she became a
ravinS maniac, and has since grown more
violent every day. During her paroxysms
she struck her family physician, and also
her pastor, Rev. j. ID. Shontz OF st. Johns
Reformed Church.
The ''pow-wow woman who formerly ex-
ercised so much control over her is now her
greatest aversion. and the mention OF her
Usme in Miss Fortney's presence makes her
insanity all the more violent. Saturday Judge
Stewart appointed well-known physician OF
the town and two members OF the bar to i'm
quire into Miss Fcrtney's sanity. They found
that she is dangerous lunatic. and the
court ordered that she be sent to the State
Iunafio Asylum At Harrisburg, where she
will be taken Tomorrow The physician, the
attorneys i'm the case and the young wor-
ans pastor uuh ssitztingly say that the in
sanity Is the res.'lt Of undue hypnotic inflsi-
ence and express the opinion that the young
woman will be cured after few weeks
treatment and removal from the influence
of the hypnotizer.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 1.-THE sun
shone down upon peaceful scene in the
little town Of Frankfort this morning. The
exciting proceedings Of the past few days
seemed to have cooled down entirely and il
it were not for the fact that the boys in blue
paced back and forth in front of the Capitol
with guns on their shoulders no one would
have thought there was anything out of the
ordinary going on. 1t was evident even be-
fore the Legislature met for the last days
session that there would be no legislation of
consequence passed. The feeling between
the Democratic majority in the Senate and
the Republican majority in the House was so
intense that all hope of agreeing on anything
was given up. The meeting of the senate
majority investigating committee last night
made it certain that there would be lively
times in that body and perhaps infiammatory
speeches would be made.
The Republicans held a redhot caucus in
the Court of Appeals rooms last night Be
side the members OF the two houses. there
were many party men present from other
cities and almost all the State officials The
most significant act Of the caucus was the
passing of A resolution unanimously request

NEWPORT, Ky, March 17.-There was a
curious mob around the Jail here at
O'Clock this afternoon, when Sheriff julie
Plummer arrived from Cincinnati with
Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walilng. the pris-
oners charged with the murder OF Pearl
Bryan at Fort Thomas forty-five days ago.
Ii is just forty days since the two dental
students were captured and their incarcera-
ton has made them pale and delicate
looking. This was heightened by the strain
on them on account of the transfer 10 Ken
lucky soil. They looked thoroughly fright
ened when they faced the mob The officers
hurried them through the crowd TO the old
jail, but they were in view long enough 10
produce a sensation. There were all kinds
OF threatening remarks, but no open at
tempt to do the prisoners violence. The
Jail was surrounded with extra guards. ana
while such precautions are taken there Is
likely to be no mob demonstration. The
people here have been Informed that the
officers will protect the prisoners and there
seems to be disposition TO let the law take
IT'S course. The prisoners were taken to a
cell provided for them. and the officers re-
mained in the Jail until the crowd had dis
appeared. Sheriff Plummer said tonight:

murderers here at last and are going to
give them fair trial.

Gather said
How are you, Jack?"
Damn you, don't you speak to me-" re-
piled Chinn, and at the same time made
movement toward his hip pocket.
Before weapon could be drawn General
Hardin rushed in between the two men and
succeeded in preventing a fight. Colonel
Gather however, said to Chinn:
II am ready for you at any time. sir. 1t
don't matter whether you speak to me or
not"
The courage Of the two men is too well
known to need anything further to be said.
Had the fight commenced, it would have
been one to the death. as each man is dead
game. When the story of this encounter
became known 1t created great excitement,
and many said that it was but a beginning

the Governor in calling out the militia, but
their predictions so far have been unful-
