That the president is very much In
favor of improving the Ohio, and that
he even fayors bond issue to help
the good work along is pleasing. Gov
ernor Glasscock will, no doubt, head
the West Virginia delegates when
they call on the president, and as the
Ohio delegates have arranged for q
special reception in the great East

that West Virginia be given a similar
reception. but at another hour. The

For What IS Expected to Be the

Washington, Nov. 29.-The Nicara-
guam insurgents are now engaged in
what is expected to be the final Crap
pie with the Zelayan forces. according
to official adyices reaching Salvador
CASTILLO, the representative here of
the Nicaraguan discretionary forces.
The advices indicate that fighting is
in progress both at Rama and Grey
town. and that general assault on
Managua, the capitol. will follow
The arms and ammunition landed
early last week from the Norwegian
steamer Utstein are believed now to
be in the hands of the insurrectionist
and prompt use Of them by Estrada S
forces is expected. Senior Castrillo
pointed out that it would require less
than tire days to transport the NUM-
tions from Bluefields, VIII re the
Utstein landed them, to Rama, and
that as soon as his compatriots were
supplied, Immediate conflict with the
government troops was inevitable.
The department of state declared ii
had received no advices of any kind
from Nicaragua. All inquiries as to
the landing of marines on Nicaraguan
territory were met with evasive re.
plies, but these were such as TO give
rise to the belief that some force has
been put ashore to protect American
interests and to reconnoiter. Just
how large this force may be or how
long it may be intended to be kept
there could not even be guessed.
