DEFEAT OF HONDURANS
NICARAGUANS WIN AFTER SIX
HOURS FIGHTING.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua. February 22-
The Nlcaraguan forces on February %
captured, without opposition, the town OF
FL Trulnfo. In Honduras, and yesterday,
after six hours hard fighting, the Mica
raguan army occupied San Bernardo, an
excellent position. owing to the fact that
1t is in communication by land and water
with the Nicaraguan base of operations
Many Hondurans were killed or wounded,
and the retreating army left quantities of
ammunition and many rifles on the field.
The casualties the Nicaraguan side were
few men wounded.
Gen. Miguel r. Davila has arrived at
Danli. Honduras mot far from the .,ica-
raguan frontier), from the interior of Hon.
duras. A provision government has been
established across the frontier, in Hon
duras, by Maxine Rosales, Miguel Ouueli
and lgnacio Castro, prominent Hondurian
revolutionists, who are serving with the
Nicaraguan forces. The secretaries of this
provisional government are Constantine
Fillos and Col. Guadalupe Reyes The
general-in-chief of the Honduran revolu-
tionary expedition is Dionilsio Gutierrez,
and Gen: Miguel r. Davila is second in
command.
1t is asserted here that there is no truth
in the reports that the Nicaraguan army
has met with reverses.
PARIS, February 2.-The Nicaraguan
legation today furnished the following dis
patch for publications:
'Managua, Nicaragua, February Fl.
Honduras having violated the treaty of
Corinto and renewed her provocations hos
tilities were resumed Monday. The Mica
raguan troops triumphed and are now
marching upon Teguoigalpa."
Each Suspects the Other.
Such advices as reach the State Depart
ment from Central America today indicate
the existence Of deep-seated suspicion
by each other of the republics Of the mo-
tives of each other that does not tend to
make easier the task set for the United
States and Mexico of reconciling Nicaragua
and Honduras. In fact. the officials have
almost reached the conclusion that not
until the quarrel has proceeded further and
some bloodshed has sobered the inflamed
parties to the strife will it be possible
to attempt to intervene successfully even
to the extent of proffer of arbitration,
The last statement bearing on that point
is to the effect that Salvador has been aid
ing Honduras by supplying ammunition,
but it is said to be possible that this re-
port is founded on the fact that these two
countries have generally acted together
wherever International issues are con-
cerned.

ACTION ON LOCAL BILLS.
Measures Considered by the Senate
District Committee.

The Senate committee on the District of
Columbia today ordered favorable reports
on the following House bills:
H. r. 25940 to extend Albemarle street
from Wisconsin avenue to Murdoch Mill
road.
H. r. 1926. for the opening of Mills ave-
nue. northeast, from Rhode Island avenue
to oath street.
H.'R. 10703. for the extension of Monroe
street. from eth street northeast to Mich
igan avenue, formerly the Bunker Hill
road. This bill was amended to provide
that on account of a former dedication
of 5000 feet for the extension of 7th street
by ST. Mary's Seminary of Baltimore, Nd,
no assessment shall be made against that
seminary for benefits in the extension of
Monroe street.
The committee ordered a favorable report
on H. r. 25475, to amend the act to regu-
late the practice of pharmacy and the sale
of poisons in the District of Columbia
An adverse report was authorized of Sem
ate bill S411, making the personal tax in
the District when in arrears a personal
claim against the person owing such tax
Before these bills were reported today
by the committee a hearing was accorded
to persons interested in them. All of the
street extension bills were opposed by some
interest, but the opposition was overrued
by the committee. Mr. Christian Heurich
did not want Albemarle street extended
because the extension took up the whole of
his land Rev. j. Nelson Barry of Tenley-
town and Mr.. Louis P. Shoemaker favored
the extension.
The bill for the extension of Mills ave-
nue. was opposed by Miss M. c. King and
Miss Mary c. Brown, because the proposed
widening was to be taken from their side
of the street, where there were no houses
The committee approved the plan to take
all the land for widening the avenue from
the west side, leaving the improved prop
erty on the east side without being dis
turbed.
Father D. p. Duffy Of st. Mary's Semi
nary appeared before the committee in
behalf of the amended bill for the extern
sion of Monroe street. relieving St Mary's
Seminary from any assessments for bene-
fits on account of land formerly dedicated
by the seminary.

EXPANSION ATTACKED.
Of Policy by Mr.. Clark
of Florida.

The so-called Colonial policy of the
government came in for bitter denunciation
today on the floor of the House by Rep
resentative Clark OF Florida in connection
with his resolution calling upon the Secretary
of War for a statement of the amount the
Philippine islands have cost the United
States. He condemned the war with Spain
as unnecessary and pronounced the pur-
chase of the Philippines "a serious blunder
and a most grievous wrong"
when we purchased these islands and
this alien race with them." he said. 1.-THE
deed was nothing more nor less than traffic
In human beings and IT Ii no greater wrong
for individuals to trafic In humanity than
1t is for nations to make bargain and sale
of human beings.
within the last few days I have heard
gentlemen on this floor speak Of our colon
ial possessions This smacks of empire.
It breathes Of imperialism 1t suggests roy
atty. It does not indicate the simplicity of
republican government where every cid-
zen is a sovereign. but It produces visions
OF ldngly rule
On motion of Mr.. Payne Of New York the
resolution was laid on the table, ayes l65,
noes 103.

FLOOD IN BROADWAY
WATER MAIN BREAKS AND EN-
DANGERS BUILDINGS.
Woman Caught in Basement Of Apart
ment House Rescued by
Janitor.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February IA thirty-six-
inch water main on Broadway between
144th and 145th streets, broke ut 1880
o'clock this morning. Thirty-seven families
were driven out Of row Of apartment
houses on West 144th street, near the
North river, and police lines were estab-
hshed to keep an immense holiday crowd
from danger of falling walls II the water
should undermine the buildings.
The breaking Of the water main was
caused by q terrific dynamite blast set OF
by gang Of laborers who were blasting
out the foundation for q new apartment
house on Broadway between Hath and 145th
streets. The foreman Of the blasting gang,
Harold Elliott, was arrested.
For time 1t looked as If the water would
put the subway out OF commission. 1t took
an opposite course, however, and rushed. a
verttable Niagara. down the steep streets
leading to the river. Right in the path Of
the onrushing torrents stood the four
apartment houses. numbered 613. 6l5, GIT
and $40 West Hath street.
Rescued by Janitor.
Mrs. Otto Streithof was in the basement
OF the first one, and before she could get
upstairs the water began to swirl into the
cellar. cutting off escape. The janitor of
the building. Henry Rutz. seized the woman
IN his arms and carried her through the
water. which was several feet deep, to
the sidewalk.
In the meantime Policeman ShibIes of the
West 126th street station, who had heard
the blast and the cries Of alarm, waded
through the water to the, apartment houses
and drove all the inmates into the street.
Many started to carry out their household
effects. while others fed precipitately.
Within a few minutes the water had filled
the easements Of the buildings and was
creeping up to the first floor.
Policeman Schibles sent in hurry alarm
and the reserves from the West 125th street
and the West 152d street police stations re-
sponded and drove the crowd which had as
sembled back to the west side of Broadway.
The escaping water backed up against
the retaining wall Of the subway, which is
not ten feet from the broken main, but it
did not have force enough to break through
West 144th street, which took the bulk of
the water, slopes from Broadway to the
river at an angle of forty-f1ve degrees The
steep declivity gave the water the speed
OF a mill race, and it dashed with terrific
force against the walls of the apartment
houses.
Inc broken main is one Of the largest
feed pipes that supply that part of the
city direct from the Croton Dam, The no.
lice worked for hours trying to shut the
water Off. but at noon, 1t was flowing az
merrily as ever.
