coDDLE ABANDONED FARMS.

Denver Republican.
The abandoned farms of the east
and wasted fields of the middle west
could all be made productive and re

hausted soil should be restored. Tk.
neglect of those responsible for this
condition of many farms is warning
to the men of today If They would
avoid the expense of restoring soil
from which the elements of fertility
have been drained. OF all forms of
conservation the most important in
many respects is preserving the fertil.
ity of the soil The increasing demand
for food incident to growth in popu,

zELAYA TRICKS
REBEL ESTRADA
UNDER TRUCE Willy PRESIDENT
PLACES TROOPS ADvAN-
TAGEousLY.
ESTRADA IS oUTwITTED
The Only Hope Of the Insurgent Gen.
eral Estrada and His Followers
Now is Armed Intervention by the
United States.

There has been a sudden and I'M
pleasant realization at Bluefields OF
government strength and insurgent
weakness. President Zelaya has out
witted Gen. Estrada, and the latter's
chief hope is in American interven-
ton.
1t turns out that the conference
sought by Gen. Vasquez, of the gov
eminent troops, near Rama and which
the insurgents had interpreted as a
sign of yielding on the part of Ze-
laya's troops, was a blind intended to
secure delay of the expected battle
until the loyal army had secured a
decided advantage of position. 1t is
also learned that while Zelaya had
kept a scattered force before Rama,
his real army of 5000 men was hurry
ing by forced marches toward Blue
fields.
The report that a descent on this
city from Rama was possible only by
river is now known to be untrue.
Estrada endeavored to cover his
alarm by informing the correspon-
dents at the front that all was tran
gull with the prospect that VasqueZ
and Maj. Eva would surrender. Ten
minutes after he had talked with the
reporters the insurgent leader had his
chief diplomatic aide, Adolfo Diaz,
on the telephone. and was telling
him what he believed to be the situa-
ton in truth.
To his aide he declared the Ameri-
cans should send more marines
ashore, as Vasquez apparently had
outflanked him Estrada also ex-
pressed the opinion that a request
should be made of the United States
government for protection to the $50
Americans in Blueflelds.
Diaz rushed to United States Consul
Moffat with the new intelligence, and
the consul assured him that Comman-
der Shipley's marines from the United
States cruiser Des Moines, with their
six rapid fire guns, would be able to
control the situation here in the
event that the loyal army suddenly
surprised the city.
1t was recalled today that Eva, one
of the government ENJOYS at yester
days conference, was the man who
surveyed the telegraph line across the
country, aud that none knows better
the hidden places through the forests,
swamps and hills.
If President Taft is determined that
Zelaya shall be deposed, it is believed
here that the United States forces
will find active participation in the
struggle necessary.
