ROUMANIAN REVOLT,

Bucharest, Roumania, March z5.--
That the peasants of Roumania are at
least temporarily beyond the control or
the inadequate government forces in
the field, is evidenced by the stories Of
pillaging from all parts of Moldavia
and Mol!achia.
There have been several conflicts be-
tween peasants and troops, notably at
Baccss where 1000 armed peasants at
tackled Il company of soldiers. Tho
troops killed 40 peasants and wounded
large numbers, but the soldiers were so
greatly outnumbered that they finally
were obliged to beat a retreat.
At the village of Teleormon, in the
Alexandria district. Wallachia, peas
ants sacked the synagogues and burned
10 houses. The rioters also demolished
and completely pillaged Simnica in tho
same district.
The army reserve men are fraterniZ-
ing with the marauders and participate
ing in the work of plumber.
The number of troops now in Mol
Ga,i ia is $3.50 but large achievements
are still required.
At today's session Of the Chamber of
Deputies, the members suggested to the
government that energetic repression
was the only course suited to the con-
ditlons in the disturbed sections of the
country.
The plundcring continues on a large
scale in the districts of Roman, Putna,
Jassy and Botosahnia. The peasants
are setting fire to everything within
reach but they flee on the appearance
| of the soldiery.
The minister of war, Gen. Mano, has
ordered the mobilization of four addi-
tional regiments at Jassy, where 1900
troops already have been concentrated
At Jassy the artillery is encamped on
The principal street. All the shops in
town are closed. 1t is reported that
from 10000 to $4,000 peasants are all
, ready to advance and attack the place.
A condition Of anarchy prevails at
Nanolossa, and the reports from that
village are alarming.
\ bloody encounter between peasants
and military is reported from Galatz,
whore Sunday, the troops fired on a
gathering Of peasants, killing %.
In short the situation arising from
the Agrarian revolt has become so SER
ious that the Roumanian Parliament IS
considering the advisability of invest
ing the government with extraordinary
powers.

TEGUCIGAlPA CAPTURED.
Nicaraeuans Take Another Honduran
onghold-Fighting Continues.

Washington, March 25.-Senor COrea,
the Nicaraguan minister tonight re-
ceived a dispatch from President Ia
laya of Nicaragua announcing the cap
ture and occupation of Tegucigalpa,
the capital of Honduras.
The fall of the Honduran capital to-
day WAS predicted by the NiCaraguan
foreign Office yesterday, following the
capture of Chnlutc'a. the most strong
II fortified town il. that country. and
he flight Of President Bonila Of Hon
duras. Only the bare announcement Of
the capture of the city was received.
1t did not reach here until late tonight
but the news had been expected short
ly by Minister Corea.
The capture Of Tegucigalpa, the CAPT
tai of Honduras, by the NicaraguanS,
coupled with the recent defeat of the
forces of Honduras and Salvador at
Cholucteca and the flight of President
Bonilla Of Honduras, puts an end 90
the latest Central American war. 1t
is now probable that Nicaragua will in
stall another President at Tegucigalpa
in lieu of President Bonilla, and then
withdraw her troops to her own terri
tory.
The conflict has been of short dura-
ton. and, judging from the reports
which have been received here, none Of
the various engagements have been Sc
rious. Tho casualties have been COM
paratively light, 400 or 800 in the most
important engagements reported, the
fight at Cholucteca.
Honduras has been helped in this
war by Salvador, with whom Sh" had
an offensive and defensive alliance, and
She has had to contend with u rebel
lious outbreak of her own people. This
was also the case in Nicaragua the
latent revolutionists in each country
seemingly taking advantage Of the diff
ficulties Of the government to further
their own cause. Only three Central
American states have become involved,
Costa Rica and Guatemala remaining
neutral The United Sites sent gun
boats to both the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts and marines were landed nj two
or three ports on the northern coast Of
Honduras for the protection Of Amer
lean interests. These ports were in the
possession OF enemies of the Hcnduran
government at the time and the gov
eminent of Honduras approved the ac-
ton taken by the United States.

SPOT CASH DEAL
Famous Mines i'm the Lee District
Change Hands

fahlous MINES IN tnc Lee DIstrlct
Change Hands
One of the biggest spot cash deals
yer made in Southern Nevada was
closed at Rhyolite, when the famous
Hayseed and State Line claims, in
the Lee district, were taken over by
a local syndicate. The transaction
was made on a basis of 100000.
and the actual cash consideration is
in six figures.
1t required but a short time to Sc
cure the necessary funds to make
the purchase. more than two-thirds
of the money coming from local
people, and by the time the transac-
ton was noised about town the prop
osition was greatly oversubscribed,
with many other investors clamoring
to get in. 1t was a source of pleas
ant surprise to note the eagerness
that local capital manifested in plac-
ing big sums in the enterprise. en-
phasizing not only the utmost con-
fidence in the property but also
demonstrating that there is plenty Of
ready cash in town.
The Hayseed and State Line claims
have been idle for many months. ow-
ing to litigation. They were first To-
Gated a generation ago by H. E.
Finlay, and relocated in November,
1904, by Mr.. Finlay and the Lee
brothers. The property is known
as the original Lee strike, and as far
as development has proceeded the
showing of ore has given the
property the reputation of being one
of the richest grass root proposition
ever uncovered. The deepest work
is thirty feet, sunk on a f%abulously
rich ore shoot. which has beer
opened at intervals for 1.500 feet or
the property. Prior to the recent
purchase, an engineer made a thor
ough examination of the property
and secured values from $3.50 tt
1923, 900 to the ton.
The interested parties held a meet
ing and organized the Hayseed Min
