ZELAYA OUT
FLANKS ESTRADA
Superiority of Government
Troops Over Insurgents
is Apparent
WANT AMERICAN INTERVENTION
Unless Uncle Sam Interferes,
the Bloody Tyra Mt VIII
Win Out.

BIucfields, Nicaragua, Dec IL
There has been a sudden and un-
pleasant realization here OF the govern
ment strength and the insurgent weak
ness. President Zelaya has outwitted
General Estrada, and the latter's chief
hops lies in American Intervention. 1t
turns out that the conference sought
by General VasqueZ of the government
troops, which the insurgents had in
tcrpreted as a sign of yielding on t&e
part of Zelaya, was blind intended 70
secure delay until the government
army completed its fanking move
ment toward Bluefelds. This has
been accomplished, and three thou
sand well armed.
The men are marching on Blue
fields AS soon as Estrada learned
this he got into communication with
his aide at Bluefields, declaring the
Americans should send their marines
ashore He also told the aide that
request should be made for protec-
ton OF the hundred and fifty Ameri-
cans at Bmefelds. The aide rushed
to United States Consul Moffat and
the counsel assured him that the
marines from the cruiser Des Moines,
with six rapid fire guns, would be
able to control the situation here in
event the government army should
surprise the city.
If President Taft has determined
that Zelaya shall be deposed, it is be-
lieved here that the United States
forces will find active participation in
the struggle necessary Apparently,
General Estrada feels the situation is
acute unless the Americans are pre-
pared to assume active and supreme
control
Looks Like Trouble.
Washington, Dec. 11-When the
700 marines on board of the Dixie
arrived at Corinto, where they are
expected this morning, they will be
ordered to proceed Immediately to
/ Panama and go aboard the cruiser
Buffalo. This seems to indicate that
some movement of consequence on
the Pacific coast of Nicaragua is in
contemplation.

the searchers become after learning

assaulted, that white man who by ac-
cident had scratched his face, came
near being torn to pieces when the
crowd saw the blood. Fences We're
torn down and doors broken in. Every
thing that looked~like probable
place of the fugitive was leveled.
Every negro who answered the de-

"spite House" at Auction.

New York, April 1.-THE famous
"Spite House. one Of the most inter
esting pieces Of New York real estate
was put up for sale at public auction
today. The house, which Is located
at the corner of Lexington venue
and Eighty-second street, was built by
Joseph Richardson, an eccentric cit
zen, who died about fifteen years ago
leaving an estate valued at about
$4,000, 900, to his widow and a Hike
amount to his son and daughter.
The house vas four stories high and
occupied a plot of ground 100 by 5.
1t has a frontage equal to four city
lots but 1t run back only five feet.
Richardson became possessed OF the
unique strip of land when he married
his second wife in the early eighties.
Soon after the owner of the adjoining
property, Hyman Sarner, wishing 70
build a row Of dwellings, offered Rich.
ardson $1,000 for the FIVE foot strip.
The eccentric old millionaire demand
ed $4,000 This being refused, he pro
ceeded to build the spite house, which
~effectually shut on Sarner's avenue
frontage.
Richardson and his family occupied
the house until his death. Then the
house was sold and remodeled SO II
contained six stories, each i've feet
deep. Since the house was built,
property in the vicinity increased
greatly In value and the narrow strfp

and which at the time was considered
