Revolutionary General Sends Word

fewer than 500 persons identified with
politics are in chains in the prisons.
A Catholic society has been ordered
to cease sending food to the prisoners,
and these may starve to death, as they
are allowed only 2 cents day for
food. Corporal punishment is meted
out daily to various alleged offenders.
Zelaya, to create in impression that
the sentiment Of the people of Mana
qua is hostile toward America and
Americans, recently ordered Amelio
Estrada, a prominent Liberal and
brother of the revolutionist chief, to
organize a demonstration against the
United States, but this he refused to
do, and Zelaya had him arraigned on
a fictitious charge.
It is understood that DR.. Julian 1rias,
minister general, who has many ad-
herents at Leon and Chinandega, has
been making attempts to start an up
rising in his favor as Zelaya's success n,
but whether with Zelaya's consent is
not known. 1t is reported also that
Iras' home has been surrounded by
soldiers.
Further authoritative dispatches
state that 500 Of Zelaya's forces have
been entrenched to prevent American
marines from passing over the bridge
into Corinto.
since last Thursday, when General
Estrada became certain that General
Vasuuez. in command of a portion of
Zelaya's troops, was attempting 10
make a detour of Rama to seize an
unguarded river point and descend
upon Bluefelds, forces of the provis-
ional government have been acting
with great energy. Rama has been
occupied and other less important river
landings have been strongly guarded
reserve to rush reinforcements TO any
point that may be threatened.
General ChamOrro and 250 men ar
Chamorro left 800 men guarding the
entire sixty miles of the Escondido
river from Rama to Bluetelds. General
Chamorro left 800 men guording the
land passage between Bluetields and
Greytown
The provisional secretary of state,
Adofo Diaz. today declared that the
Zelayan troops would not be able to
march overland from Greytown be
cause of the swamps and jungles, and
that they would not be able to get the
use Of river boats.
For these reasons General Chamorro
could afford to weaken the GreytoWn
force without fear of the results. While
the provisional government would well
come additions to the marines which
the United states cruiser Des Moines
has aboard, Secretary Diaz declared
that Estrada's forces were capable of
defeating any attempt to attack Blue
fields.
Scouting parties are out in every
direction to determine the objective
point of General Vasquez, who has
asked for two days extension of the
truce to enable him to communicate
with Zelaya.
AS General Vasquez is in possession
Of a telephone system over which
probably ten minutes would suffice to
transact his business with Zelaya, this
request is regarded with suspicion and
it has been refused.

BOSTON, Dec. 1e.-The Yuletide call

been felt for the last three weeks in
Maine. Michigan and Oregon, the great
centers of the Christmas trees cutting in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Does the
Yuletide with it's demand for Christ
mas trees prove a menace to the Amer
lean forests?
This question is asked of the United
States forestry service by those inter-
e. tel in the conservation of the nat
raj resources.
The subject has received the consid-
Grafton of the forestry bureau. and the
reply has been sent out that there need
be no danger of destruction if the cut
ting of young evergreens for Christ
mas trees is done with discrimination.
In young pine forests it is stated the
thinr ing out process can do no harm.
but where trees are cut in reckless
manner results are detrimental.
Il have thought a good deal about
the Christmas tree matter" said the
chief forester, "and have finally
reached this conclusion: Trees are for
use. There Is no other use to which
these trees could be put that would
contribute so much to the happiness
and good of mankind as their use for
the children and family on Christmas.
$50 far as endangering the future
life of our forests is concerned, the
effect is infnitesimal compared with
the destruction caused by forest fires
and wasteful numbering"
1t is estimated that 100000 Christ
mas trees are used annually. If
planted four feet apart these could
be grown upon 400 acres of land.
1t is said that the use of Christmas
trees has proved in Germany to be per-
fectly compatible with the welfare of
the forest, and that the cutting of
Christmas trees there where the per
capita of consumption is greatest, is a
means of improving the forests.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-What an

The Old Songs Forever.

An obsolescent but lively subscriber, IN
the course of very agreeable letter.
urges US to continue our war upon the
popular songs of the day. We enter an
exception to his use OF the word war. for
our purpose is not homicidal and we have
no blood feud with the authors OF these
compositions but IL our correspondent
employs the term i'm a purely hgurative
sense. and means by IL nothing more
sanguinary than a literary joust we are
with him. as Col. Watterson hath il. up
to the Adams apple.
Our principal objection to the modern
songs Is that they are entirely destitute
of true sentiment. Aided by alcohol. true
enough. they are capable of producing a
sort OF saccharine melancholy which
sometimes eliminates in copious weeping.
but the effect here. We submit. Is more
physical than psychical. The juice of an
orange pee! or of an onion. injected into
the eyes, will make the tears flow in an
equal flood and the ingesti0n of broiled
lobster, half an hour before bedtime. will
engender an even greater melancholy.
Here. In a word We have not emotion.
but a neuresis; not pathos, but bathos;
not sentiment. but sentimentaiity. The
tears that flowed from the eyes of the
fashionable bucks of fifty years ago.
when Darling Nellie Gray was sung,
came from the heart. and were honorable
alike to shedder and provocator But
the tears which follow Are You Sin
cere?" today are the secretions of maud
lin vulgarity. The old song writers were
not cynics. but poets. The theory that
love ID a beautiful thing Was the corner
stone Of their philosophy. They were not
ashamed to set their ravishing melodies
to simple words-to the ancient. half
articuiate vocabulary of true lovers.
They assumed, as a cardinal principle,
that love was both agreeable and perma-
nent.

An increase is requested by Col Cosby
in the pay Of the park policemen. and the

years and less than five years to receive
500 per annum and those whs have

served over five years to receive 81 600
per annum.
THE Washington park policeman"
says Col. Cosby, lis probably the poorest
paid man in the United States perform
ing police duty He has practically the
same duties as the metropolitan police.
and the same intelligence and physical
qualifications are required OF him. His
moral character must be good. He has
as many arrests to make as the average
policeman. and his duties are as exact
ing He runs the same risks as to In
jury from vicious people as the man
doing duty on the street. He has a uni
form to buy once a year in order to look
neat. Yet with all OF this the pay OF
these policemen is only $50 per month.
The city government requires the street
railway companies to pay their crossing
police ofncers SI5 per month for a great
deal less exacting and laborious duty.
THE lowest grade on the metropolitan
police force receives $70 per month; the
officers who serve three years faithfully
receive 800 per month. while those who
have served five years receive 500 per
month. For those reasons the increase in
pay asked for Is strongly recommended.
1t is also recommended that the designa-
ton of these employees be changed from
park Waterman to park policeman. as the
latter designation indicates more clearly
the duties they perform.
Additional Watchmen.
An estimate has also been submitted
for four additional watchmen for Poto-
mac Park: two for duty on the northern
portion of the park from 18th to 18th
streets. where improvements are now in
progress and will be we'll advanced by
July 1. 1910. The remaining two are need
ed for duty between the hours of IL mid
night and am. TO enforce the park reg
ulations against fast driving and other
practices now INDUCED in by a certain
class that frequents the park after mid
night and that disregards the park rules
because there is no Waterman to enforce
them.
1.-THE estimate for contigent expenses
has been submitted in two items. follow
ing the appropriation act for 1910. 1t is
recommended. however, that the two
items be consolidated into one. This will
allow the appropriation to be used indis-
criminately for either OF the items where
most needed. The item for bicycles has
been increased from $500 to 800. The
smaller amount is not sufficient to keep
the bicycles now in use in repair and also
to replace unserviceable wheels with new
ones"
