To Resist Attack From San Salvador.
1t is suggested that President Zelaya
is getting ready to resist possible at
tack from Salvador. but the influx OF
SO many Immigrants into Nicaragua
from Salvador leads to the belief Of
contemplated attack on the latter
government
The eofree just gathered-crop of

the plantation to the sea coast with
much greater rapidity than in former
years. This celebrity Is taken to indl,

NEBRASKA CLOSE.
A Small Majority For Mckinley.
 Poynter Probably ee-eIectcd.


 OMAHA, Nov. 9.-Complete returns from two-thirds of the counties in Ne braska and scattering returns from the balance show Mckinley has carried Ne braska by 8 plurality of at least POGO. An equal number of returns on the state ticket indicate that Nebraska has re elected Governor Poypter and the entire state ticket by pluralities ranging from 500 to 1900 over tha Republicans, the governor being high Isan.
 If the balance of the state sh2ll show tho same percentage ef gain and loss Poynter's electiep is certain, and the counties to be heard from being mostly in the western part of the state, it is fair to presume that this is the case.
 The legislature will likely be decided by Douglas county, in which it will take the official count to determine the vote. The World Herald, Democrat claims the lieutenant governor will cast the deciding vote in the upper house and that the low CT house is evenly divided, with two places in deuht.
 The Republican state committee, which Wednesday night gave out the claim that Dietrich and the Republican state ticket had won from 5000 to TOGO majority, has scaled down ''close to the danger line'' and claimed the election of the state ticket by from ,OO0 to 2,OQO In Douglas county the count is close, and charges of fraud are made by the Democrats. The Republicans claim to | have elected one out ot three senators and six out of nine representatives, while 1 the Democrats claim two senators and | all the representatives.

To the left of the flag lies two broken handcuffs and ball and chain which, to all appearances, she had just cast off The features of the senorita are of the oriental type, and are said to be likeness to Aguinsldo's E sister. It is certainly evident that the picture was painted before the Amer ican occupancy of the islands, because if it hadn't been there would have been another flag there.
 Altogether there are four rooms in this part of the house, the others being used at one time for sitting-room, dinins groom and kitchen, all having g the walls and ceilings painted with fancy designs, such as native fruits, flowers, birds and butterflies.

 The lower part of the quarters is now used as the guardhouse, dining room and company shoe and barber shop.
 The company barber, while on a visit to Manila short time ago, invested Tn an Edison graphophone, and every evening the company has a vocal and | musical concert with the latest songs and music from the states. The read CTS may be assured that the entert ain ment is greatly appreciated by the soi- dlers who have been lon the ine,' away from civilization for over IS | months.
 The duties of the company are con- | siderably harder than they were in the States. They do a guard every | third day and have to drill two hours
 day when off duty. Every night a detail of 12 men patrols the outskirts | of the town for few hours. 1 It is rumored that in a short time there will be native police force in | town, which, of course, will make the soldiers duty much lighter.

Especial Philippine Letter ]

TNHE town we are in is called Ca
 vite Viejo, meaning Old Cavite,
 "A and it is said by the natives to be the oldest town in the entire Phil ippine group, not excepting Manila or New Cavite. It has a population of about 5000 inhabitants, and is situated miles from Manila. On clear day aid of field glasses.
 The two things of most importance in this town are the old ruined church and the house that was at one time owned and occupied by Aguinaldo, the rebel chieftain. The church, which is reported to be over 300 years old, is ia very bad condition, owing to the bombarding of the Spanish gunboats in 1896. The picture gives fair view of the church and the convent in it's pres ent state.
 The convent is also in bad condition, and cannot be used for any purpose whatever, but the front part of the church is still used for religious serv- ices. Large holes can be seen inside where cannon balls went through the three-foot stone walls.
 The church, like the rest of the Phil ippine churches, is not supplied with seats or benches like those in the "States," but instead has a stone floor on which the worshipers kneel or squat down on their heels. The Serv- ices are somewhat similar to the Cath ollie services in the churches of the | United States, but instead of an organ thaS- hand
 The natives as rule are very re- | ligious and say their prayers four o1 1 five times day, in fact every time the church bells ring.

they go directly to the cock pit and for several hours enjoy themselves at their favorite sport, cock fighting.
 Along the shore for a distance of about 400 yards near the church are large earthworks or trenches, the work being done at the time the place was bonn mbarded in 1896.
 Another picture gives view of the large 12-foot cannon in the churdlyard, !, mounted on a mahogany carriage. It is trained on New Cavite, three miles across the bay, but the writer has never heard of it's ever having done any dam age there. The cracks in the gun can be plainly seen, where our troops tried to explode it with gun >otton.
