NOT MUCH OF A WAR.
Under Present Conditions, the Soldiers
Would Rather Fight Chan Work.


Would Rather Fight Than Work.
Copyright, 1895, Associated Press
COrinto. Nicaragua, April 9, via Gal
weston. Texas, April 1O-For several
hours, April and Z, the insurgent
troops, under command of Gen. Boca,
president of the revolutionary govern
ment of Nicaragua, cannonaded the
troops sent by the government of Hon
duras, at Chinandega. The lombard
ment, however, did not dlslodge them.
At FL Viejo an insurgent force from
Leon is fanking NagarOte and threat
ening to attack Managua, the capital Of
Nicarag qua.
The government trops have been
twice engaged with this force Of Leor-
lists. a few men having been killed on
both sides. but President Zelaya's force
was not strong enough to drive the en-
envy and it returned TO Managua IN
successful. According to present indi-
cations the revolution in Nicaragua will
continue as long as either side can pay,
feed and clothe its soldiers. In other
words, the soldiers on both sides are
quite willing to remain under arms and
live without labor just as long as people
will pay them TO do so. So far as fight
ing is concerned, neither side is in po-
siton to do very much execution. even
if their troops were willing to undertake
the task. AS a matter OF fact there is
little more personal danger to the ma
jority of the officers, soldiers and poll
ticians engaged in the present struggle
than there is during the time of peace.
The United States cruiser Alert is
still here and she reports all well on

In Judge Gibbons court the other day
an old farmer from De kalb county was

The veteran lumberman, NJ G. Shaw
of Bath, reports that his winters cut
will amount to 1000, 900, of which 4,O0O.-
900 has been secured on Dead river,
where he has yet considerable hauling
to do, and If the weather is suitable
to push work for another week, the

this year.
In speaking of the big freshet and the
lumbermen affected he stated that
according to his views there was not
so much lumber in the big jam below
Gardiner as had been estimated. He
summed the matter up as follows:
Joshua Gray & Sons. Gardiner 500, 900,
IL. w. Jewett & Co. Gardiner. 500. 900,
G. A. & c. NJ. Phillips, Farmingdale.

company, Sands boom, 1,00O, 900; Elias
Milliken. 500, 900
There are two and a half millions
outside of the river from one-quarter
to one-third of a mile in shore caused
by the boom breaking above Gardiner
Mr.. Shaw believes that the expense to
secure these logs will be greater tha,,
the cost to drive them down from the
lake. He says the logs and pulp wood
now to be seen in Merrymeeting bay is
a sight worth seeing. There were
abut 100000 feet of logs and 5000 cords
of pulp wood which came down the An
droscogin river and the water rising
above the ice carried these logs and
covered the ice for more than a mile
square.

The New South

The attraction at the Augusta Opera
house. April IA. is THE New SOUTH a
play written by MIR. Joseph r. Grismer
and Clay M. Greene, under the direction
of VIM. A. Brady. The New South is
not a war play, as its name might sug-
gest 1t is. however a Southern play,
and is pronounced by everyone a true
picture of the South really is, all of
the affairs with which it deals being
portrayed truthfully and correctly:
and it is a strong play. The climaxes
are well drawn. and each act closes
with a situation intensely interesting
and remarkably realistic.
The play abounds in rich wholesome
comedy that keeps the audiencein good
humor from beginning to end. and
through it all runs of the purest, pref
test love stories ever told The play
received unbounded praise everywhere
last season, scoring most striking sue
cess. Thus far. this season. it has
played to crow ded houses every where
It's appearance in this city will be the
most important dramatic event of the
season.
