AN AMERICAN CAPTURED.
Was Among the Insurgents Who
Landed Near Bluefelds.

Senior Corea, the Nicaraguan minister
here, has received news of two attacks or
attempted attacks upon Nicaraguan ports
by revolutionists, who were aided by the
Colombian government. This fact was
made patent by the use by these revolu-
tionist5 of the Colombian warshp General
Pinzon. The first expedition, according to
the advices received here, comprised about
thousand men. These reached Monkey
Point, near Bluefeids, but owing to the
heavy seas and a prevailing storm were
unable to make landing, and returned to
Colombian waters. About the first week
of this month the reyolutionists appeared
again and made landing near Bluefields.
They were promptly attacked by the gov
eminent forces and completely routed with
the loss of several lives. Many Of the
revolutionistS were captured, and included
among the captfves was one Wilson, an
American citizen. The military authori-
ties have consented to give him trial by
court-martial, but 1t Is felt that his cond-
ton Is desperate unless the Nicaraguan
government is disposed to clemency.

ANOTHER MILITARY POST.
Discussing Its Proposed Establishment
at Chickamauga, Ga.

The Secretary of War Is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a permanent
military post on the reservation at Chicka-
manga, Ga. He had conference on that
subject with Quartermaster General Lud-
ington yesterday afternoon. The 7th Cav
airy. recently returned from service in
Cuba, is now encamped in tents at Chicka-
manga Park, and it is realized that some
provision must soon be made for it's
shelter during the coming fall and winter,
as there are now no vacant posts to which
the troops can be transferred. 1t Is roughly
estimated that it would cost about $3.50, 900
to erect barracks and other necessary build
lngS for such a post at Chickamauga, and
the officials naturally hesitate about en-
barking upon extensive an undertaking.
The Miles board recommended Chicka-
manga as a suitable place for one of the
proposed camps for field maneuvers, and if
the post Is established 1t will I'M
doubleday be utilized for that purpose. A
special board of medical officers recently
visited Chickamauga to investigate it's SAINT
tary condition and to ascertain if the recent
cases of typhoid fever there were due to
local conditions. The board reported that
the sanitary condition of the camp was
good and that there was nothing in the
local conditions to affect it's utility as a
permanent military post
