Robinson Watson Ref-
erdtesBrother Is Insane
Not Surprised Mrs. VIM. Wat
,sonIs Angry to Come.
Tried to Speak With Her Alone But
Had No Opportunity.

New York, Dec 23.-RObinson Wat
son in a statement telegraphed to New
York from Montreal today reiterates
that his brother, William Watson, the
English poet now in Havana, is insane
although the poets wife, who is witt,
him, is unaware of her husbands men
tai condition. Mrs Watson cabled
from Havana yesterday that Robinson
Watson's message to the world IS
wicked attempt to ruin my husband
The brother replies today as follows:
1T is not surprising that Mrs. Will
liam Watson has cabled an angry
message. There will probably be worse
to come, and still worse, until she fully
apprehends the whole truth. A sad
feature of the situation is that she has
been ignorant of the events of 1892.
When the long statement about the
Asquths compelled me to recognize
clearly what others were beginning to
perceive l Immediately went to New
York and finding my worst fears con-
firmed endeavored during four conse-
cutive days to get an opportunity of
speaking alone with Mrs. Watson, but
no such opportunity could be obtained
and | left without having given her
the slightest intimation."
Havana, Dec. 23-William Watson, the
English poet, and his wife are staying at
a hotel in suburb of Havana. In an
interview today Mr.. Watson said came
to Cuba to search for recreation and in
tended to study the people and the re-
sources of the island Since their arrival
Mr.. Watson and his wife have been en-
gagged in sightseeing around Havana and
vicinity. The poets health apparently is
good, and he said he was enjoying his
visit and was quite undetermined how
long he should stay or where he would go
next. He declined to make any further
statement.

guans are learning through various
sources that the revolutionists have won
the battle around Rama and are. soon to
turn their guns in the direction of the
capital.
The present government is in no condi-
ton to oppose the advance of Gen. Estra-
da's army. President Madriz has behind
him strong political force. but few
fighting men, and no preparations have
been made to repel an attack. Gen. Vas
quez is now here on sick leave. Only a
few days ago lie was at Rama, but left
his forces under command OF Gen. Con-
zales. Gen. Toledo, who recently was
at the head of the Zelayan forces at
Greytown, which was said to be surround
ed by the insurgents, Is also here.
Dr. Julian Irias resigned today as minis
ter-general. At one time there was talk
of placing DR.. Irias in command of the
army, and it was believed he might be
permitted to hold high position under
the Madriz presidency. But his unpopu-
larity was shown at recent public gath
erings, when he was Kissed and hooted
when he attempted to speak.
The Mexican minister left this morning
for Corinto
Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. %
General Estrada, it is said, today, will
Immediately assume the offensive
against the government of President
Madriz. The insurgent leader holds
that the Zelayan element was removed
from consideration by the sweeping
battle of Rama. Madriz and his as
sociates now represent the enemy. The
march on Managua is believed to be
imminent
The prisoners captured at Rama
have been we'll fed and all who now
aspouse the cause of Estrada will be
armed and enrolled in the ranks of
the insurgents.
The details of Estradas campaign
are not known, but it is understood
that his movement on Managua will
be by way of Greytown, which he ex
poets to fall with little show of re-
sistance. The various groups of the
enemy in the vicinity of San Juan
river will be wiped out and the path
to the Nicaraguan capital made along
Lake Nicaragua.
The exact number of dead, injured
and captured in the two-days fighting
near Rama either is not determined.
or the facts are purposely withheld.
Today Bluefields realizes what real
var means. The wounded fill the hos
pitfalls and dead lie in many homes.
Funerals are being held in great num-
bers. 1nsurgent elation over the
triumph that has placed Estrada in
unquestioned possession of Rama, Re-
creo and the strategic point of Ira
tumbla hill, as well as the adjacent
territory heretofore disputed is tenn
pered by the sorrow of grief-stricken
homes. There is less of noisy rejoic-
ing at the capital of the provisional
government, but the grim determina-
ton to overthrow the government at
Managua has been strengthened by the
sacrifices of the past few days.
Generals Mena. Chamorro, DiaZ and
Matuty are popular heroes today. The
American surgeons from the cruiser
Des Moines are giving splendid service
in the care of the wounded

WAS some ground for the criticism
which they passed upon him. Now that

place to admiration of his marvellous
self-restraint. The strictest code of
etiquette does not require one to speak
in complimentary terms OF an inlpos'

amy one possibly could say who was In

in duty bound to protect his fellow
