DEALERS MAKE PROTEST.
Eastern Grain and Lumbermen Don't
Want Milling Privileges Abridged.

Boston, Feb. 23.--Many Eastern grain
and lumber dealers made a strong pro-
test before the Interstate Commerce
Commission today against curtailing or
aholishing the present so-called mixed
car or milling privileges Those who
spoke claimed that the present ar

for Eastern points to be stopped in
transit and the lumber or grain par

Eastern dealer.
l.. NJ. Wilson of Binghampton, n. Y,

abuses if any existed, but hoped that
no change in the present conditions
would be made.

Reports from Mic
aragua Conflict.

AS is not unusual the reports from
the Nicaraguan government and from
The provisional government relative to
the operations now going on around
Granada and adjacent territory are
conflicting. Gen. Chamorro, who is
next in command to Estrada over the
insurgents, with force of 2000 men
has made successful march through
the department of Chontales, as far as
Tinitapa and his first objective point
is Granada with the ultimate object
of attacking Managua in the near flu
turn.
No mention is made in the Managua
dispatches of the situation at Granada,
but emphasis is laid on the fact that
tie insurgents abandoned their posi-
tons at Tisma. Previous similar an
nouncenents of victory by the Madriz
government have turned out to be
merely the execution of plans by the
provisional generals in their advance
on Managua. They have abandoned
their positions, but to their own ad-
vantage.
Gems. Estrada and Mcna, it is believ-
ed, are now far from Gen. Chamorro,
with whom they are expected to form
a junction at any time.

Insurgent Forces.

ManaSua, Feb. 23.-Another victory

Soon after the train left Jersey City

threw Bluefields into throes of jubfIatfon
this evening In one of the kilograms
Gen. Mena reports the complete rout of
the enemy at San Vincente. The others
stated that Granada was in the hands of
the revolutionists; that the steamer Vic
toria, which plies Lake Nicaragua. had
been captured: that Gen. Estrada with
1000 men has formed junction with Gen.
Chamorro and that their combined force
was now marching northward and on to
Managua. The only disappointing feature
of the days news was the failure to def
nitely locate the pres mt whereabouts of
Chamorro. Can. Mera's telegram read as
follows:
Il have the honor to notify you that
the enemy suffered in the last battle more
than we imagine. The disbanded men are
fleeing in every direction without appar-
ent destination and escaping in a state
of great disorder The leaders are at
tempting consumption in this vicinity but
the natives are focking to our side every
minute and in numbers which precludes
our arning all of them. Acoyapa has
been abandoned by all save the officers
who are hopelessly trying to recruit"
Gen. Mena's statement regarding the
enemy's losses in the battle at San Vim
cente was confirmed in an interview with
the American Gordon. who estimates the
enemy's dead at $50.
Mena's men acknowledged the great
bravery of a detachment of the enemy
which crossed the open plain to attack
their position. Suffering losses almost at
every step. the remnant reached the
crest, driving the PROFESSIONALS before
them. but with their ranks depleted they
were unable to hold it, Retreating under
the continued fire they reformed on an
other hill, only to be driven into the open
again by a thanking movement. OF the
20 who participated in this Central Amer
lea Balaklava only II escaped.

CLAIMS AND DENlALS.
Each Claim of a Victory Is Quickly
Denied by the Other Side.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Complete denial
of the reported government victory in
Nicaragua is given out here tonight in the
shape of dispatches from Gen. Estrada
commanding the revolutionists, and ad-
dressed to Senior Salvatore Castrillo, the
representative of the provisional govern
ment of the Central American state. The
dispatches announce an overwhelming
victory by the revolutionists after bat
tie lasting three days in which two of
the generals on the government side were
killed.
A significant feature of the telegram
was found in the statement that Gen
Chamorro. is within striking distance of
the capital and, in the opinion of Central
American diplomats. practically holds its
fate in his hands.
Another dispatch. also signed by Es-
trada, declares that the best of harmony
prevailed between himself, Chamorro and
the other chiefs of the revolution, and
that all reports that there was friction
were without the slightest foundation.
Senior Luis Corea, former minister from
Nicaragua, announced that he had receiv-
ed a cablegram today signed "Madriz'
which is a sweeping refutation of the adj
vices received by Castrillo. The cable
gram reads:
Complete victory over revolutionista
at Tisma Many prisoners and ammun-
ton captured. Chamorro totally destroy
ed. He intended today to ford Tipitapa
was repulsed and is being actively pur-
sued
Senior Corea did not submit his dispatch
for perusal.

ing large portion of hyoscyamne sui
