FENCES MUST COME DOWN
Law Against Them on Public Land
to Be Enforced.
Secretary Garfield While Evidently In
Sympathy With vlolatcrs says
Statutes Must DO obeyed.

Washington, March 20. = Secretary
Garfield Monday issued an order for
the strict enforcement Of the law pro-
hibitirg the fencing Of the public do
main. In doing SO, he mentioned the
efforts made at the last session OF
Congress to obtain a modification OF
this law, which was passed in 1885,
and expressed regret that no discretion
Is given the government to permit the
continuance Of fences that are clear
ly for the benefit If all interests" he
predicted that hardship and loss
will be occasioned and especially to
the stock owner and home maker by
the strict enforcement of the law, and
added "but SO long as 1t is on the
statute books 1t must be enforced
without considering the reasons which
led to any violation"
The order calls attention to the max
ing of gaps or maintenance OF gate
ways in illegal fences, and says that
these will relieve from liability under
the law. The cutting down OF the
wires and allowing the fence posts to
stand will relieve from liability. The
order says the department Of Justice
will act vigorously against violators
of the law and an invitation is extend-
ed to persons injured by Illegal fences
to make complaint.

other paraphernalia. Thompson then
killed Mclean and fled. Dodging be-

that carried by the dying deputy and
then renewed his flight. He was To-
Gated in the lumber yard by Patrol

by this time thoroughly desperate and
vigorously returned the fire of the
officers. After being wounded, how
ever, his capture was easy.

nation of considerable financial loss
to American interests because Of the
war have been received here.
The sacking of San Marcos was re-
lated by General Carcamo Of the
Hon'uran army, whom Nicaraguan
dispatches said had been killed there
February 20. General Cacamo was
concealed for several days after his
defeat at San Marcos and finally
gained the Honduras lines uniniured.
He then gave an account Of the out
RACES perpetrated on the women and
defenseless citizens Of the captured
town, which he said was looted and
sacked by the soldiers Of Nicaragua.
Details of his story have not reached
here.
The American gunboat Marietta Is
said to have done good work in the
interests of the American shipping at
Trujillo. the first Honduran port cap
tured by Nicaraguans. Upon arrival
here March 10 the Marietta reported
that the Nicaraguans were molesting
small vessels at Trujillo, which were
the property Of Americans, but that
they desisted on warnings from Cap
tain Fullam Of the Marietta.
Reports Of the fighting telegraphed
to Puerto Cortez do not paint the
situation as bad for the arms Of Hon
duras and Salvador as do the Near
aguan kilograms.
A Honduran force under General
Chomorro has slipped past the Near
aguan lines and is marching into the
interior of Nicaragua, raising revolt
against Zelaya. An official report
reached here that March II this col
umn captured Totomalpa, Nicaragua,
after 10 hours fighting and wounded
or killed 100 Nicaraguans beside cap
turing considerable ammunition.
Tie battle of Los Portillos de Ma
masique, which the Nicaraguans
claim ended in disaster to the allied
Honduran and Salvadorean armies,
was reported by officials at the CAPT
tai of Honduras as probably the great
est battle in the history of Central
America. On the second day Of the
battle these dispatches announced
that 10000 men were engaged, that
The allies after forcing Nicaraguan
