are often found in poultry houses and
sometimes assail horses in barns. In
dwellings they have been observed in the
act of feeding upon ordinary bedbugs,
especially specimens already full of blood.

GAMES AT ATHENS.
Boston and Harvard VIII BE Rep
resented There.

Harvard is to have at least one rep
resentative in the Olympic games this
spring. Ellery H. Clarke, '96, has re-
ceived permission from the, faculty to
go to Athens and compete. He is one
of the four men chosen by the Boston
Athletic association to represent them.
Clarke has been entered in the running
high and broad jumps and in putting
the siXteen-pound shot. He will also
compete in throwing the hammer,
should that event be added to the pro-
gramme 1t is possible that w. w.
Hoyt SO, will also go with the Boston
team. If so, he will compete in the
pole vault. The team from the Boston
Athletic association, it is understood,
are to be the only competitors from
America.
1t will consist of T. E. Burke
IN the 100, 300 and 800 metre runs; F.
w. Lord or J. w. Curtis, either of
whom is good for 16 1-5s. in the

TWO HUNDRED DEAD
NICARAGUA REBELS ROUTED AT
PITAL AFTER A BLOODY
BATTLE.
THREE THOUSAND ENGAGED.
FEW OF THE GOVERNMENT TROOPS
SUFFERED DURING THE
STRUGGLE.
THREE THOUSAND ENGAGED.
NEWS RECEIVED WITH REJOICING.
Honor of the Decisive Victory
Won.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March IA
(via Galveston, Tex.)-The Nicaraguan
government troops have won another
important victory over the forces Of
the rebellious Leonists, and there is
great rejoicing here in consequence
The battle took place at Pital, not far
from Momotombo. Beween 1000 and
5000 men were engaged. The fighting
was severe, and the troops from Leon,
Chichegalpa and Chinandega, the three
strongholds of the Leonists, numbering
about 1,500 men, were completely rout-
ed, with the loss of about 200 killed
and wounded. Only about fifty of the
government troops, which numbered
about 1,200 men, were killed or wound
ed. The rebels were commanded by
Gen. Ortiz, the commander-in-chief of
the Leon forces; but Baca, the rebel
president, was at Leon, it is believed,
supervising the work Of putting that
city in as complete state of defense
as possible. The government troops
were commanded by Generals Paiz and
Bodan.
The government troops began to ad-
vance from Nagrole on Wednesday, aft
er a skirmish with the enemy which
resulted in the Leonists being driven
backward with a loss of fifty killed and
wounded. The government forces ap-
preached Pital yesterday morning.
The firing upon the part of the rebels
commenced as soon as the troops were
within range; but the government
forces, acting under explicit orders, re-
served their fires and continued their
advance, taking advantage of all the
inequalities of the ground, in order to
obtain protection from the bullets OF
the Leonists. The result was that l'-esi-
dent Zelaya's troops were able to get
within good striking distance Of Pital
with the loss of only three men killed
and seven wounded.
The government forces moved on
Pital in four columns, and took up po-
sitions in half circle before the town.
The first and third columns opened a
hot fire ON the rebel positions, and .un-
der it's cover columns two and -four
pressed forward until they reached a
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-03-15

position half sheltered by an inequality
in the ground. From there they opened
fire on the Leonists, enabling. columns
one and three to push onward.
All four columns then concentrated
their fire on the ridge occupied by the
Leonists, and began series of short
rushes forward. Eventually there was a
charge upon the ridge, and short bay
onet fight. The summit was attained,
and then the Leonists broke and ran
for Pital, pursued by the troops of
President Zelaya. When the Leonists
reached the shelter of the town they
made a stand.
The rest of the fight was not walk
over for the government soldiers. The
Leonists defended the place stubbornly;
but the troops pushed on and eventual
ly entered the town, driving the Leon
lists before them. The enemy afterward
scattered, and in small bodies fled
towards Leon, after making short
stand outside Pital.
The Leonists left about 200 killed and
wounded upon the field, besides taking
away with them a large number of
men who were slightly wounded. The
government troops captured over 500
prisoners in the houses of Pital, the
rebels in nearly every instance throw
ing down their arms as soon as the
soldiers broke in the doors Of the build
ings.
There is much rejoicing here today at
this further success of the presidents
soldiers, and he is receiving congratu-
lations on all sides. The church bells
have been kept continually ringing
ever since the glad news was made
public, and a battery Of artillery, in
the small park in front of the palace,
has already fired three presidential sa-
lutes.
The garrison of Managua was parad-
ed this morning in marching order, and
the commanding officers read to the
troops the presidents message an
ncuncing the victory. The. news was
enthusiastically received. The soldiers
then marched through the capital
cheering for the government and Presi-
dent Zelaya:
Although no official announcement
has been made on the subject, it is
understood that troops from Honduras
will soon be in touch with those of Mic
ragua, and as both republics suffer
from the Vaccinations of the Clericals,
who are the main springs of the pres
ent rebellion, they will practically be
fighting for a common cause, and the
result should not be long in doubt, al
though it is understood that Leon and
it's neighborhood has been very strong
ly fortified and we'll provisioned.

will refer to navy department reports

will refer to navy department reports
at Washington, you will find a direct
refutation Of the statements" said
Henry w. Cramp. a member of the
firm Of William Cramp & Sons, today,
referring to a published story to the
effect that the armament Of the bat
tleship Indiana was entirely too heavy
for the vessel. He said that official
records show that the guns Of the In
diana had been fired, and that the re-
suits had been classed as successful.
1--WE do not know on what authority
the statements were published today,
and have no desire to engage in
controversy of any kind regarding the
subject" added Mr.. Cramp. 1--WE will
simply refer all persons in search of
information to the departments at
Washington. l will state, however,
that information furnished to the firm
has always been to the effect that
ship, and that the guns worked all
right during official trials"
There was no blame attached to the
builders in the statement published
today. The responsibility for the al
legged unsatisfactory results was placed
on the shoulders of those who designed
the ship, and it was admitted that
plans had been followed in every par
ticular by the builders of the vessels.
The Massachusetts, a sister ship of
the Indiana, will leave Cramps soon
on a builders trial trip. About three
weeks after the ship returns she will
be ready for her official trial.

diamond, knowing that if he overtrumps
South must make his queen of trumpS and
queen of diamonds, whereas by not overtrump-
ing North he will catch the queen of trumps
with his ace, and the queen of diamonds will
not take a trick.
Tricks 10-13-West's ace Of hearts and East's
trrmps take the last four tricks
Table p
Trick 1--WE rather think North should have
led queen of clubs here. East is perhaps,
justified in not going up with king of diam
ondS, for If West has either queen or jack he
will win the trick, as South will undoubtedly
play the ten, If he holds queen and ten. How
ever, many players would have played king
and returned the suit for partner to trump.
Trick 5-South sees that East is holding up
king of diamonds, and leads king of hearts.
We think South shows good judgment in
avoiding the trump lead, as North has shown
positive weakness in trumps by his line of
play, and East has shown strength by passing
the diamond.
Tricks 6-1S-West's trump lead is best; so is
South's return of the trumps, after winning
with queen, and East's lead of a losing trump
to throw the lead into South's hand South
was playing to make his queen of diamonds
and East to force South to lead up to his ten
ace in diamonds. The cards were so situated
that South could not win by his play. as East
dscards his seven of diamonds on Vests jack

NOTES.


Trick 5-We do not regard South's trump
IN diamonds and hearts and North has the
lest club, there is nothing that demands a
trump lead 1t would seem better to open the
camond suit. West plays king second hand,
very common play, especially in trumps.
Trick 4-The lead that West makes here
il one that very few players would make but
We think it perfectly sound. West knows that
asst will trump and South over-trump but
the play will take trump from the strong
and, East hopes that West may be able to
xhaust trumps. in which case East will re-
nter with ace of hearts and make two clubs.
his would have been the result of the play
ad South continued the trump lead.
Trick 5-South very prudently refuses to
oad trumps again.
