REBELS CAPTURE LAKE STEAMERS
Rising in Nicaragua More Serious Than
Zelaya Admits.

Panama, March 25.-The revolutionists of
Nicaragua have captured some of the steamers
plying on Lake Nicaragua and have left the
Department of Chontales, which has prevented
President ZeIaya's forces from attacking them
The official advces from Managua, however,
say the rising has been suppressed. On the
other hand, there are reports that the revOlu-
tionary movement is aided by another Central
American Government. If this is the case the
outbreak is more serious than President Zelaya
is willing to admit. The strict censorship main
tained over dispatches allows only official news
to leave Nicaragua. Consequently, the go -.tU-
alton in that country is not known.

TEACHER SHOOTS PUPIL.
He Says That He Was Threatened by
Crowd Of Students.

dispatch to the New York Tribune from
Columbia, s. c., yesterday says: Edward
Foster seventeen years old, was shot and
fatally wounded by Reuben B. Pitts In the
principals room of the Inman High School,
in Spartanburg county. Pitts. a son OF the
Rev. John D. Pitts of the First Baptist
Church Of Spartanburg and graduate OF
Furman University, is principal Of the high
school. and Foster was student.
The principal. who ia a man Of rather deli
cate physique. has been in charge OF the
school since last September, and Of late
says he has had considerable trouble with
the older students. His version of the shoot
ing Ii that he ordered Foster to remain
after hours because OF disobedience, and
announced to the other students that he
would have to give Foster whipping. He
took the boy into an adjoining room and
began to whip him. but Foster wrenched
the whip from the principal. Thereupon the
big boys in the adjoining room rushed to
their companions assistance. Pitts then
drew his revolver, he says, to overawe the
crowd and presented 1t at Foster, who was
quite close to him. The boy struck down
the weapon. causing 1t to be discharged,
and the bullet passed through his abdomen.
Medical attention for the wounded boy
was summoned. and Pitts surrendered to a
constable. The two drove into Spartan
burg. about fifteen miles. and at last ac-
counts were staying at the leading hotel
there. the sheriff not having taken charge
of the teacher.
