War in Central America Opens
Near ManaSua Nicaragua
Defends Its Frontier.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua. Feb. 20. -
The troops of General Bonilla. presi-
dent of Honduras, at o'clock on Mon
day afternoon attacked the forces of
General Zelaya, president of Nicara-
qua, which were guarding the Nicara-
guam frontier. After many hours
fighting the army of Honduras was
defeated
The trouble between Honduras and
Nicaragua arose when number of
Honduran malcontents organized them
selves into u rebel band in the interior
of Honduras and after obtaining arms
marched toward the frontier of Nj
caragua. The government of Hon
duras, when informed of the move
ment, sent body of troops in pursuit
of the revolutionists. When the latter
became aware that the troops of Hon.
duras were moving in their direction
they crossed the frontier and sought
refuge in Nicaraguan territory, some
of them even reaching this city, the
capital of Nicaragua.
The government of the latter repub-
lie then sent small body of Nicara-
guam troops to patrol the Honduran
frontier with the object of preventing
any further incursions of revolution
lists. This body of troops was unex-
pectedly attacked in Nicaraguan terri
tory by a force of Honduran soldiers.
The Nicaraguans were worsted, many
of the latter We're killed and it was al
legged that the Hondurans shot some of
the Nicaraguan soldiers who surren-
dered.
The forces of Honduras then advanc-
ed further into Nicaraguan territory,
burned and destroyed property and
committed rObberies. President Zelaya
of Nicaragua protested energetically
against the conduct Of the Honduran
troops and demanded an indemnity
from Honduras. President Bonilla of
Honduras replied by Offering to sub
NIT the matter to arbitration. This
proposal was accepted by Zelaya, who
sent Il representative TO Salvador,
where court of arbitration met tc
hear both sides of the case and agreed
AT the outset that the armies of Hon
duras and Nicaragua on the frontiers
of those two republics should be dis
banded.
But they did not accept the finding
of the court. and diplomatic relations
between Nicaragua and Honduras were
broken off.
In the meantime the governments of
the United States, Mexico, Guatemala.
Costa Rica and Salvador brought pres
sure to bear upon Honduras and Mica
agua i'll the hope of keeping them
from going to war, and it was at first
considered likely that the efforts OF
the peacemakers would prove success
full.

the lusty appetites of the legislators
could demand was there.
Senator-elect Briggs and Treasur-
er-elect voorhees, were the centre Of
attraction. All the guests had cor
dial congratulations for them. and
they themselves felt felicitated to
know that they had had Joint re-
ception which congressman present
declared had discounted White House
functions.
Governor Stokes was one Of the
first arrivals at the dinner, but he re-
mained only half an hour after ten
dering his congratulations as stress
OF official business prevented longer
stay.
Later in the afternoon delegation
of legislators, headed by Senator
John Hinchliffe, with other demo-
Gratis and republicans, captured the
senator-elect and subjected him to a
very pleasant experience. Placing q
wreath of green on his head, they
formed ring about him and sang
"Auld Lang Syne" and He's a Jolly
Good Fellow" as he modestly bowed
his acknowledgements.
Uncle Dan" Voorhees, was not for
gotten, either, in the round OF pleas
antries. Captain Lovett, the SER
geant-at-arms of the senate, wore a
crown of green after some of his
friends had decamped with his brand
new tile. 1t was late in the after
noon when the guests dispersed.
