Nicaraguan RevolutioniSt
Leader Advises DR.. Cas-

DR.. Castrillo, the representative in
Washington of the Nicaraguan revo-
lutionists, has received letters from
General Estrada. at Bluehelds, telling
Of the situation Of the revolutionary
forces and the general condition Of af-
fairs in that country.
The letters say that the supporters of
President Madriz, the successor Of
zelaya, have suffered much more Sc
yerely in the recent hghting than have
the revolutionists and that the country
is strongly against him and is tending
more and more in support Of General
Estrada
According 10 Dr. CastrillO, affairs in
the Interior Of Nicaragua. which Is IN

are in a pretty bad way, the people
being discontented with the administra-
ton Of affairs and the suffering is in
tense on account OF the lack OF sup
plies.
The government has taken ali the
available men and drafted them into
the army, leaving no one 10 carry on
the work IN the fields. The fact that
the insurgents hold the coast and thus
prevent supplies from being forwarded
into the interior makes matters a great
deal worse.
Il is said that General Estrada has
over 1000 supporters at La ManaEa
in the very heart OF the govern
ment's territory, who are being rapidly
put into shape by General Chomorro.
General Estrada has about 1000 men at

IN ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL S
Instructor of Plumbing Thinks Instruction Should Be
Made Compulsory for All Pupils With Tests as
in Other Courses

With the view Of including the art OF
swimming IN the curriculum of the pub
lie schools, A. r. McGonegal, Inspector
OF Plumbing. Is preparing data on the
cost Of the installation of swimming
pools in the school buildings TO be pre-
sented 10 the Commissioners.
The need OF such instruction. says Mr.
McGonegal, is apparent from the num-
Der Of drownings which occur in the Po-
tomao each summer. During the year
1908 there were forty-six cases of acct
dental drowning.
Il earnestly believe that If swimming
had been made compulsory IN the Wash
inGton schools for ten years back. the
number of these victims would have
been reduced by half said Inspector
McGonegal today. There should be one
