Homes at Belvedere would be rapidly

Secretary Garfield to Start Reform
in Interior Department.

Washington, March 25.-Secretary
Garfield lie organizing the Interior de-
partment with view TO facilitating
public business and eliminating red
tape He is Transforming an obsolete
governmental machine into a modern
business methods, injecting up-to-date
methods and doing away with fully
one-third Of the labor required under
le old regime.
Beginning today. Mr.. Garfield will
abolish the public lands and Indian
Territory divisions Of the Interior de-
partment, divisions which heretofore
handled all business coming TO the sec
Rotary from the general land Office and
Indian Office. Their functions were
superfiuous and had no good effect. On
the contrary, these divisions made I'M
necessary work and delay, and were
largely responsible fo1 friction and
trouble between Secretary Hitchcock on
the one hand and the land and Indian
Offices On the other hand.
j. A Parker, former chief Of the
lands division, who has a thorough
knowledge Of department methods, is
to be made Mr.. Garield's private sec
rotary, but will not participate in the
formation Of departmental policy
Clerks Of his and other divisions will
be absorbed by the land and Indian
Offices. These reforms we're recon-
mended by the Keep commission, Of
which Mr.. Garfield was a member.
The president heartily approves Of
the change, and looks for great i'm
provement in the department in conse-
quence, especially as the changes bring
the new secretary in close touch with
the chiefs Of all bureaus Of his depart
ment. and obliterates the bothersome
intermediary.

GREAT DEFEAT FOR soNILLA.
After Ten Hours Fight. Army FIees,
Abandoning Camp.

Managua, Nicaragua, March 25.-
Advices received from the front today,
say that the army of President Bonilla
Of Honduras has been attacked and de-
feated near Nariata by the Hondurian
revolutionists and Nicaraguan army
after 10 hours hard fighting.
Bonilla's troops, it is said, left be-
hind them camp equipment, artillery,
riefis and ammunition. Among the
prisoners captured are severa. leading
officers of the Hondurian forces. Many
were killed and wounded on both sides.
The Hondurian revolutionists cap
tured 800 prisoners, three pieces of ar
tillery. also a supply Of ammunition
therefor and 300 rifles.
One estimate of the casualties places
the killed at 200 and the wounded al
l6O. Two hundred government soldiers
joined the revoluiiorists during the
fight
The disaster for President Bonilla is
now complete and it is believed that
Tegueigalpa undoubtedly will be cap
tured. The towns of Canygu, La Espe-
rama, San Padro and Sula have an.
nounced themselves in favor of the rev
olutiou.

San Francisco, March 26.-The at

today to a dispatch from Portland,
which stated that a fund was being

flourish in Portland, he said:

bribing the San Francisco supervisors
