Central Americans Believe BeIayR WlIi
 Form Union.
 New York, March 25.-The news that the forces of President Zelaya of Mica ragua has defeated the Honduran army at choluteca and that President Bon fila was in flight was not cheering news to the Central American colony In this city.
 The Central Americans suspect ZeI- aya of cherishing the hope that some day he may be able to establish a pow erful Central American union, over which he will be the head, with the other states subsidiary
 The opinion was expressed that Pres ident Bonilla, who was fin command of the Honduran forces had fled to San Lorenzo. which Is on the mainland and thence by boat to Amapala. an island on the Pacific.
 The captured town is only fifteen miles from Amapala. the principal Hon. duran seaport on the Pacific, which is said to be unfortifed. It is probable that the Nicara guans will now attack Amapala, where 1t is believed little or no resistance will be made. In case President Bonilla Is pursued he can reach Launion, Salvador, in four hours.
 Choculteca has been the objective point of the Nicaraguan forces under General Aurelia Estrada and General Oritz since the beginning of hostilities Portillos de Namasique, where the al- legged Honduran and Salvadorean forces were defeated a few days ago is on the frontier, thirty miles from Cholu- teca. The latter town is seventy-five miles from Tegucigalpa, the Honduran capital. The distance between the towns makes 1t seem unlikely that the Nicaraguan expectation 10 capture Tegucigalpa today will be realized.
 When Informed of the news from Managua last night Pic Bologcnss, consul general of Nicaragua in this city, said
 T am sure that 1t means the end of the war, with another victory for our country"

(Continuea from page one.) landed seven miles west of Truxillo, where they were joined by the force landed at Stevens River.
 These forces marched along the beach toward Truxillo on March 14 and the Tatumbla headed in the same df- rection at sea.
 Nearing Truxiilo no enemy was seen and no vessels could be distinguished in the harbor, but suddenly from around a point the Ometepe was dis covered steameing directly out to sea, while a small gunboat. the San Jacinto. was headed westward toward the Ta- tumbla close to shore. The Ometepe soon changed her course to the west ward and the plan to get the Tatumbia between the two Nicaraguan gunboats became apparent
 The Tatumbla then changed her course and headed toward Hog Island. and both Nicaraguan vessels headed di- rectly for her. @ ~ e The ometepeg gained rapidly on the sTatumbla and when within 1000 yards opened fire. Nine shots were fired by the Ometepe, but none of them struck the Tatumbla, although some fell with in fifty yards of her.
 The Tatumbla returned the fire at the very first from the stern gun. Gum ner Muench took charge of this gun af- ter four shot shad been fired and fired nine shots at the Ometepe. The sec ond and seventh shots struck the ome- tepe In the bow. Although gaining rapidly on the Tatumbla, the ometepe then sent up signals and with the San Jacinto turned and headed for Trux- lilo The Tatumbla did not follow.
 Officers of the United States gunboat Marietta, which arrived here March 1s from Truxillo, confirmed the report that the ometepe was damaged and said they had heard that several men had been killed or wounded.

JENNIE ZURICH TRIAL.
Mohawk Girl KiTled the Baby she

MoohawI Girl Kiiled the Baby She
 Loved
 New York. March 25.-Jennie Burch, a quarter-bre Mohawk, who, in Sep tember last, poisoned the infant son Of Herbert Winship. a wealthy farmer of Cowles Corner. Putnam County, wns placed on trial today for her life at Carmel, N. Y. It Is her 18th birthday. On the day of the baby's burial she flung herself on the child's casket and sobbed out a confession of how she had fed the infant a poisoned peach She said she had loved her little charge and. because of her great love. had killed it. Medical men and other men of science, who have examined and studied the girl, differ as to her sam ity.
 Jennie Burch was a waif and was given home by the winship family four years ago. The farmer and his family treated the girl as one of their own. When the baby, Wilbur, was born, Jennie Burch became it's guar dian.
 Her love rivalied that of the chlld's mother. No eshas been able to give satisfactory explanation of the crime. The murder itself was preceded by several fncendiary fires, which the girl admitted she was responsible for. First the barn was burned, and then followed nine different attempts to burn the Winship home.
 Jennie's explanation of the incen- diaryism is that she wanted to see flames shoot" After the barn had been burned, she said she imagined she was suspected, and this thought preyed on her mind. When she had decided to kill herself. she thought of the baby and concluded that the child should die with her. She poisoned a peach and, giving the child portion, ate the re- mainder herself.
 Within half an hour, the girl and the infant were taken violently i'll. Mrs Winship did all she could for both of them. Before night set In the baby died, but Jennie Burch recovered The girl insists that she poisoned the peach with Iodine. Chemists employed by the State say that the poison that killed the child was strychnine.
 The girls trial is before Justice Mills of the Supreme Court, who has appointed two lawyers to defend her. They will attempt to prove insanity at the time of the murder

Mexico And United States striving For
 Central American Peace.
 Washington, March 25.-Negotiations for peace in Central America are being carried on with great earnestness in Washington. MT. Creel, the Mexican ambassador and MT. Corea, the Nicara- guan minister, both called at the State Department today to discuss the Cen traI American war with MT. Root and although Mexico and the United States have not as yet found a way to restore harmony among the warning republics, 1t Is believed that an arbitration will be effected in a short time.
 Nicaragua is unwilling to make over lures for peace as 1t Is disclosed such a step will be regarded by President Zelaya as an indication that he stands in fear of Salvador, the avowed ally of Honduras and Guatemala. which country Is supposed to be ready to as- sist Honduras.
 Y If the United States and Mexico were to jointly advise Salvador and Guate- mala that they must remain neutral 1t is held by friends of President Zelaya that the war would come to an end as Honduras has been defeated and it's capital even is expected to fan

New Orleans Bank President Wants
 War Stopped.
 New Orleans, March 25 .-President William Adler of tho State National Bank of New Orleans, confirms the re- port that he wired on yesterday to President Roosevelt urging the United States intervention between tho warning republics in Central America.
 MT. Adler said:
 T cannot make public the wording of the dispatch because l have not heard from Washington in reply"
 The Nicaraguan Government some years ago wanted money and several New Orleans business men negotiated a loan for S1.000.Oo0 for Nicaragua, for which they received the exclusive right to navigate the Bluefields River, the territory where the bananas of the country are grown. It is believed to be in the interest of these business men that the request is made.

into the hands of the Nicaraguans in a few days.
 It is known, however. that Mexico and the United States do not care to advise Salvador and Guatemala to re- main neutral, and, in fact, do not wish to take any active part in peace nego- tiations, unless Nicaragua indicates in some manner that it desires peace
 Mexico and the United States are un- willing to enforce peace which might be distasteful to any of three Goun- tries in volved, but it Is believed that some plan will be evolved which will make possible an arbitration that will in no way humiliate any of the bellig- erents.
