Greytown Is One of the Towns That First Seized by the insurgents
 at Outbreak of Revolt.

New Orleans, Nov. 12--A cable mes sage from President Zelaya, of Near. ague, received by Consul General Alt schul here tonight, states that the gov ernment forces recovered San Juan Del Norte, or Greytown, Thursday No mention was made in the message of a battle in connection with the oc cupancy of the town

 The advice is in line with recently made claims of Zelaya that victories had been won by his army at Bocas San Carlos and Colorado Junction Consul Altschul asserted tonight that the occupancy Of Greytown proved beyond doubt the victories laid claim to by the Nicaraguan president
 On the other hand advices which have been received here from Gen. tral Bstrada, leader of the revolution, from time to time, have claimed vic tories for his troops in the same bat tie which Zelaya asserted had been won by the government forces
 Greytown is one of the Atlantic coast ports of Nicaragua, which was seized by the Insurgents at the out break of the revolution.

 ing at a Great Height.

Cincinnati, Nov. 12.-The dirigibles easily carried off first honors at the opening at the Cincinnati Aero Clubs meet at the Latonia Race Track to- day. An accident to Glenn H. Cur tiss' aeroplane after the aviator had made a couple of short flights, put an end to hopes that the winner of the international cup at Rheims would supply a sensation.
 ChaIles Poster Willard, the only other aeroplanist competing, made several straight flights of several hun dued yards and was repeatedly cheer ed.
 The noteworthy feature of the day was the perfect control over their ma chimes displayed by the pilots of both dirigibles and aeroplanes. In three of the former, Roy Knabenshue, Lin coin Beachey and Cromwell Dixon performed intricate revolutions. each time landing within "a few feet of the place of their ascent.
 Dixon, who is only r years old won applause by rising to a height Of over 1000 feet and performing at that altitude. The accident to Curtiss' ma chine, who collided with team. was slight and he announced. this even ing that he sevould be prepared to start in the long distance contensi tomorrow for the cup which had been offered by the aero club.
 On Sunday three balloons will start on a race to the coast. The weather is clear and warm.
