PRESIDENT IS GREATLY PLEASED WITH THE RESULT OF HIS
 MAXIM GUNS.
Reports Come In That There Has Been Much Fighting in Which
 He Was Victorious.

l New Orleans, Nov. 4.-+After a lapse of several days, the local Central American colony was again rewarded this afternoon with news from the frontier From Bluefields and the At lantic Coast ports of Nicaragua came | lreassuring advices to the sympathiz- CTS of General Etrada. leader of the | revolutionists, saying that the lib erator'' was daily gaining strength in men, arms and ammunition and that President Zelaya is making no move to regain the territory taken by the reyolutionists
 From Managua, the capitol, and from Pacific coast points. came still more glorious news to the local friends of the administration, President Zelaya himself cabled that there had been a severe engagement near Fl Chile, and that the enemy had been defeated He gave few details, but said that 1t was glorious victory.
 President Zelaya's cables were di- rected to Consul General Altschul, who gladly translated them for a half dozen or ehore correspondents as last as they came.
 There are some words here which it will be very hard to translate into English said General Altschul, For through translation they will lose much of their force. President Zelaya assures me, however, that there has been some terrific fighting and it is quite apparent that the enemy is thor cughly panic stricken. No list of cas- ualities is given, but the rebels have been badly beaten There is no doubt about that
 President Zelaya says the work of His Maxim guns is more than satis- factory"
 General Atschul then got down a map and showed the close proximity of Paso De La Jas to Rama. One of the cables signed by President Zelaya said Paso De La Jas had been cap tured General Altschul said that it would now be a very easy matter for the government army to move through Rama to Bluefields.

The failure of the management to provide rain checks for the spectators and press correspondents was discourag. ing, and some had given up all hope of hearing again from President Ze- lava or General Estrada for a long time
 Incidental to the Nicaraguan t1ou- bles, the fiaring up of a controversy as to that constitutes contraband of war, was caused here today by gaso- line. Fer a time an injunction to re- strain the departure of the Bluefelds Steamship Company's steamer Imper- ator for Atlantic ports of Nicaragua was threatened on grounds it carried this commodity.
 Consul General Altschu maintained that gasoline is a contraband article. All of the vessels of the revolutions ary forces use 1t for generating mot i've power was the substance of his declaration, explaining his position. The navy of Estrada may seize the galsoline, but so do we" was the answer given by local representatives of commercial interests in Nicaragua. They pointed out that actual suffering might ensue if gasoline were not speedily obtained for use by the boats carrying supplies to the interior plan tations and mining camps.
 The consul general sought out the judge of one of the state courts at New Orleans with the idea, it was stated of obtaining a restraining or der against inc shipment He sn- nounced after the conference with the judge that no injunction would be prayed for.
 Almost simultaneously with this an nouneement, the Imperator glided from its moorings so tranqvilly that one would never have auspected that the storm center of tue bitter dis pute lay in it's hold
