Occur for Several Days,

New Orleans, May 14.-The threat
ened battle between the Estrada and
Madriz forces in Nicaragua may not
occur for several days, according to
2 dispatch received here. It is report
ed that the largest division of the
Madriz forces is now encamped at a
point about eight miles south of Blue
fields. .,..... 49,. ...g
A portion of the invading army has
been left at Rama to flank the oppos-
Ing army of the insurgents. ..a
1t is believed the Madriz forces are
awaiting the arrival of the steamship
Venus. That the Venus has put into
a port of Central or South America to
change its register is not denied by
the Madriz representatives at New Or
leans and the belief is strong that the
vessel sailed to one of the nearest
South American ports.
According to a proclamation of Es-
trada each volunteer in the insurgent
army will receive 1875 acres of land
for his services the same to revert to
the government of the east coast if it
is not in cultivation within six years.

PLANTS TREES TO ACT

Great Northern Sets Out zoo, 10000
Saplings Between Dugdale and
Ebro, Near Tracks.

Crookston, May 14.-The Great
Northern has started the distribution
of several carloads of trees along the
right of way between Dugdale and
Ebro which will be planted in a
narrow strip about three rods wide
the entire distance to serve as a

being used to a great extent, and
the experiment will be watched very
closely with the intention of using
trees more generally in the future if
the plan proves successful, Over
100000 trees will be planted and
the work will be finished within a
month.
