Manasua. Nicaragua, April D.-(Copyrisht
Ho0.-Everything that comes to light about
the explosion in the barracks here. ir
which more than two hundred lives were
lost. tends to show that it was the work
of political enemies of the Government.
Several unexploded dynamite bombs have
been found in different parts of the bar
racks. 1t is believed that the intimate re.
lations existing between the opponents of
President Zelaya and the Colombia author
tiles had something to do with the disas-
ter. the object being to cause difficulties
which would interfere with the Nicaragua
Canal project.
Notwithstanding the explosion and the
terrible loss Of llfe.. the whole country is
at peace. President Zelaya has taken
prompt measures to prevent any outbreaks.
Relief funds are being sent in from all
parts Of the country in aid Of the Govern
ment and the soldiers and others who SUI
fered from the explosion. Most Of the VIC
tins were soldiers.

 factnring Line.

Rt. Hon. James Bryce. Q careful ob. server, and Mir. SeuInas MacManua, the Irish writer, agree that Ireland to-day is enjoying comparative prosperity. The people arc living better, their food is of higher grade. the bank deposits have decreased. the farm rents arc lower. and the returns from work are larger. The main reason why it does not take it's place ss one of the rich countries of the world is its lack of manufacturing. Itexists mainly on its agriculture and its fisheries, says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
 Ireland contains 32,337 square miles. not including the l9S little islands which add 246 square mile to the total. It is not quite so largo as Indiana, and is 2 little larger than South Carolina. The Philippine islan nd< are four times the size of all Ireland. Less than five years ago a commission appointed by. parliament reported that there had been placed upon Ireland a taxation burden which 1t was unable to bear, and that something should be done. Thus came the new .and act. which was a mitigation. but not . reform, of the evils.
