OF RAMA BATTLE

NEW ORLEANS. La. Dec 12.-Consul
General Richard Sussman and other
friends of Estrada in New Orleans do
not want TO believe the latest War" re-
ports as to Bluefeids being in danger
from Zelaya's forces and that the revo-
luuonists were overwhelmingly defeated
al Rama.
The Nicaragua insurgents sympathiz-
ers base their belief In a cablegram
which was received from General Es-
trada, last night. II was in answer TO
inquiries made by Mr. Sussman earlier
IN the day as TO the truth in early re-
ports Saturday. Mr.. Sussman's cable
gram was in Spanish. but the transla-
ton is as follows: The battle at Rama
has not Vet been commenced. The army
of the enemy is two days from Rama.
All reports Of the triumph of Zelaya are
false. As soon as 7 expect battle I

Thinks Johnson Has

Boilermaker

While the entire sporting public
throughout the country is clamorine
for a match between Jim Jeffries and
Jack Johnson, and the matchmakers
are persisting in their efforts to in
duce the retired champion 10 meet the
big colored man, how many have stop
ped to consider what the result of the
match might be?
Evidently the consensus of opinion
is that Jeffries Will only have to Sig

big, strong, clever fellow, and he is
admitted by experts to be a more
scientific boxer than any other heavy
weight we have had, with the excep-
ton of Jim Corbett.
Jeffries' admirers contend that one
good wallop from the big boiler max

his back. This may have been true
four years ago, but suppose Jeff has
slowed up in the four long years he
has been doing nothing. He may not
