Minister Lewis Baker Tells the State
Department About 1t.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Lewis Baker,
minister to Nicaragua, has supplied to
the state department extracts from the
annual message to congress of Presi-
dent Zelaya to indicate the excellent
financial standing of Nicaragua and
the material progress made during the
year. The president, who found a
large deficit in the treasury when he
assumed Office, now reports that he has
paid off $379,319 of the foreign debt
which amounts to but 1886, 900 at 4 per
cent, having 20 years to run, and has
also paid 2,l57, ,446 for the domestic
debt, and retains $71S,l79 in the
treasury. At this rate the re-
public would be free of debt
inside of three years. 1t is not proposed,
however, to keep on extinguishing the
debt, but instead to apply the surplus
receipts to the building Of a railroad to
connect Lake Nicaragua with the At
lantic at Rama, and there to connect
with steamers to the United States and
Europe, which is expected to do much
to develop the commerce Of the country.
The president also takes credit to
himself for having had opened and bet.

Washington Correspondent Says
the Russo Turkish Entente
Is Known There,
And That it Was Responsible for
Postponement of the Naval
Demonstration
Which Herbert Had Planned Be.
\ fore Constantinople- Russia
Requested 1t.

LONDON, Feb. "A dispatch to the
st. James Gazette from Washington
says that the correspondent of that
paper has the highest authority for an
nouncing that the entente between
Russia and Turkey is known at the
state department., and that it has had a
most important effect in modifying the
plan the administration had prepared
to compel Turkey to pay an indemnity
for the damages done to the American
property in Armenia. Continuing. the
correspondent says that in spite Of de-
malls he is able to assure the readers of
his paper that a naval demonstration
upon the part of the warships Of the
United States was prepared and that a
cabinet meeting approved the policy OF
bringing pressure to bear upon Turkey.
He also says that Secretary Olney en-
tered into communication with Russia
and Great Britain asking them if they
would oppose action of the United
States against Turkey.
Promised Indemnity Would he Paid.
Great Britain's reply was favorable,
but he adds, Russia informed Mr.. Olney
that she preferred there should be nc
naval demonstration at that time, as
Russia was negotiating to bring about
a restoration of order in Turkey, which
country, Mr.. l.. De Kotzebue, Russian
minister to the United States, is said tt
have informed Mr. Olney, would pay
any indemnity required.
Therefore, still according to the cor.
respondent of the St. James Gazette
the projected demonstration Of United
States war vessels in Turkish waters
was abandoned

Spaniards Said to Have Done
Some More PrOmiScuOus
Butchery.
They Killed Women and Chill
dren Because They Cheered
the Insurgents
Who Had Compelled Merchants
to Give Food to the Starving
POpulace.

KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. 4.-Some time
ago, when the insurgents entered Sa-
banilla, the Spanish official reports
state that they were driven out by the
garrison, and that unfortunately three
women were killed by stray bullets.
The truth of what happened there has
just been learned, and it shows the
Spaniards are acting as barbarously in
Cuba as the kurds in Armenia. Saba
nilla. which is an important town in
Matanzas province, was entered by 400
insurgents under Garcia.
The Spanish Regulars Retreated
to the barracks and made no resistance.
The Spanish volunteers, however, re-
treated to the church and fired on the
insurgents The insurgents returned
the fire. killing FIVE volunteers.
The volunteers then ceased firing.
The inhabitants received the insur-
gents joyfully, and many poor people
who had eaten nothing but cane were
fed by Garcia, who made the merchants
open their stores and told the people to
take food Thirty stores were looted
of provisions, and one storekeeper was
shot for resisting. The insurgents then
retired. As soon as they were gone the
Spanish volunteers came out of the
! church and
Openei Fire Upon the People
in the streets. Forty-six were killed,
J 80 of whom were women and children.
| Their only offense was cheering the
insurgents and taking food to save
themselves from starvation. After
shooting these people the volunteer
took 10 Cubans, who surrendered or
promise of amnesty, and shot them in
cold blood. Two thousand men, women
and children have reached Mantanzas
from Sabanilla. They fed, fearing
further massacres by the Spanish vol
unteers.
These are facts vouched for by Mayor
Juan Galvez of Sabanilla, who is il

What the Members Claim.

Members of the trust claim that they
have manufactured lumber for several
years at actual cost, and that dealers in
foreign and coastwise markets were
reaping all the profits. Under the new
prices, they say, the employe will be
paid better wages and the timber men
receive higher profits for their logs.
Although capitalized at $40, 900, no cor.

such vast interests. More than $50
