COSTA RIGA AND NICARAGUA.
War Between the Southern Repub-
lies Thought TO be Inevitable.

NEW YORK, March "a special to
the Herald" from San Jose Costa Rica,
indicates that war between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua is unavoidable.
Costa Rica is completely cut off from
telegraphic communication with the
outside world, as the only station work
ing in conjunction with the Colombian
Government lines is San Juan Del Sur
Nicaragua.
The Herald" correspondent writes
from San Jose that the wires from
there to San Juan are in good condI-
ton, but that the Government refuses
to permit the transmission of messages
commercial. diplomatic or otherwise
The situation is really grave. The
troops are hurrying to the frontier
daily.
The correspondent adds that there is
great enthusiasm in san Jose. from the
gray haired veterans of Walkers time
To the beardless youths of the present
day.
A corps OF 900 volunteers left San
Jose February 2Sth for Sapoa. a peace
full town on the frontier. whose indus
frious citizens never showed their war
like spirit until last September. when
the first war clouds arose out of the ar
rest in Nicaragua of Consul-General
Beech Of Costa Rica. Costa Rica then
had less than 1000 men under arms.
Now she has nearly 5000. Generals
Guardes and Places. the latter of Ecua-
dor revolutionary fame. are in command
OF the forces on the frontier
Nicaragua viii therefore have to fight
single handed if she goes to war with
Costa Rica.

Good Progress Made on the Side Of
the Prosecution.
The Mother Of the Accused Testlfias as to
the Fatal Shooting.
Tells the Jury How She Had Seen
the Pistol in Her Sons Hands
and Saw Him Fire the Shots at
His Father While the Latter
Was Lying in Bed.

SAN JOSE, March Sat the resump-
tion of the F1annelly murder trial IN
Judge Lorigans court to-day, the pros
ecution made good progress in that
side of the case. The principal wit
nesses to the tragedy at Redwood City
in October last gave their testimony.
The cross examinations of the defense
were more extended than the direct
examination. II was brought out from
the line of questions asked that in the
attempt to prove self-defense it Will be
contended that Patrick Flannelly fired
a shot at his son before the latter
opened fire on him.
Every witness was questioned very
closely as to whether or not four shots
had not been fired. All denied that
they had heard more than the three
shots that were fired by Thomas Elan
nelly.
The testimony as to the killing that
was given by Mrs. Flannelly, the af-
flicted mother of the accused, was very
direct and positive. She saw the
whole occurrence, and told the jury
how she had seen the pistol in her sons
hand, and saw him fire the shots at his
father while he was lying in bed.
Positive evidence as TO the killing was
also given by Mr.. and Mrs. John Kerr,
the brother-in-law and sister Of the
defendant.
The accused sat behind his attorneys
during the proceedings. He was i'm
passive, and did not even show any
emotion when his aged mother was
brought in deeply yelled and weeping.
She did not look in the direction of
where her son sat While she was giving
her testimony. There was a large
number of spectators, taxing the seat
ing capacity of the court room.
The opening statement for the pros
ecution was made by District Attorney
Walker of San Mateo County.
other witnesses examined were Sher-
IF Mansfield and County Surveyor Gil
bert of San Mateo County.

nothing by it, and, on the other hand,
We shall lose the esteem and dignity

The '.Imparcial" article then proceeds
to argue that all Spain's concessions
would be useless if the United States
really seeks to break off friendly rela-
1ons, adding: If pretext IS sought
it would be found. For instance, hos
