TWO OF MADRR
ARMIES ROUTED
GENERAL LARA RETIRES TO a
BASE OF SUPPLiEs-u. s.
INTERVENTION is
ASKED.
NEITHER PRESIDENT is STRONG
ENOUGH TO CAPTURE THE
OTHERS CAPITAL.
Knife to Knife Battle as the Army Of
Gen. Lara Is Driven Back From
Gen. Estrada's Trenches.

Beaten in every attack he directed
against his enemies citadel, mis- forces
decimated by disease and bullets, Gen
Lara, the Honduran nobleman, is lead
ing what remains of the Nicaraguan
governments army south to its base
of supplies at Rama.
The retreat, which almost amounted
to a wild rout, began after Lara had
sent his discouraged army at the Es-
trada trenches in front of Bluefelds
in a last desperate effort to recoup
the defeats of the last two weeks.
There was only one charge. Laras
forces rushed Estradas earthwork
They were allowed to come almost
within a stones throw of the trenches
when the American gunners turned
loose their powerful rapid-fire guns on
the charging soldiers.
The first fire threw Lara's troops
into confusion, and as they wavered
between a second charge and flight,
the Estrada soldiers clambered from
their bitches and charged into the
frightened enemy
Fighting of the fercest sort ensued
against gunbutt, until. beaten beyond
hope of recovering. the Madriz troops
fed from the field, leaving scores of
dead and wounded, while many were
taken prisoners.
Immediately after this Lara held a
council of wa" with Gems Arias. per-
sonal representative of Madriz. and
Altschul, consulgeneral for Madriz in
New Orleans. The result was the de-
termination of the MadriZ command
ers to retreat.
Their decision was FASTENED. per-
haps, by the word that Estrada would
send his troops out TO meet the
Madriz soldiers in open battle. This
would doubtless have meant the deci-
nation of the forces of Zelaya'sl heir,
because in their weakened condition
they never could have withstood the
attack of Estrada's comparatively
fresh army.
1t is reported from Rama that Gen.
Chavarria has been defeated by Gen.
Luis Mena, field marshal for Estrada.
A strong petition will be sent from
Nicaragua asking the intervention of
the United States, so that a fair cleo
ton can be held TO decide who shall
be president. and calling attention 10
the fact that Estrada could not cap
ture Managua. and Madriz could not
capture Bluefelds, as proof of the fact
that neither president is strong
enough TO crush the other and that
the. only chance of putting an end TO
the present civil war is by American
intervention.

Every modern civilized nation has many

tiers I'm Its own fashion. and yet tho spirit
In which the problem is approached must
ever be fundamentally the same. IL
must be a spirit OF broad humanity; of

DUTY.

There seems to be no higher law
in the Moral Realm thans the Law
of Duty, except it by the law of love
and they do not conflict. When mi
does his duty he has also fulfilled the
law of love; so We find the law OF
duty supreme. Perhaps few men
have yielded perfect obedience to
this supreme law, but the noblest
characters in this world are those
men and women, in whatever walk
of life, who are conscientiously try
ing to do their duty in their sphere
of life regardless of what others may
say.
If, when the shadows gather around
you at the close of the day, you can
look to God and say, 81 have sim
cerely tried to do my duty today
you can lay yourself down on your
couch and sleep with 40 regrets to
haunt You in yoLr dreams.
The young man who starts out in
life with a purpose to do his duty in
all things has made the first step
toward success. No man can fail
who does his duty. 1t is not always
the popular thing to do ones duty;
but to have the consciousness of
right is better than the applause of
a tickle minded public, and he who
would be honest because %''honesty is
the best policy. would be dishonest
if he thought it would be better
policy. But to do mes duty, and
be honest when policy dictates other
wise requires courage and a strength
of character, that you do not find
in everyone you meet. Some men
are influenced more by public opinion
than they are by the vioce of duty
within; but public opinion is tickle;
it may be one thing today and en-
tirely a different thing tomorrow;
but the voice of duty is yer the
same. The public that applauds to-
day may condemn the same act to-
morrow. The public may think they
know what your duty is better than
you do yourself, and may dictate to
day to find tomorrow that they
were wrong.
The man who regards it right
while in Rome ''to do as Rome does"
would steal if it were popular; but
duty fully accepted and faithfully
met will raise a nan above every
thing that is mean and selfish and
impure, and make him feel that he
always has something great and
glorious and good to live for.
What the world needs today most,
is men who regard duty above every
thing, men who will dare to do their
duty regardless Of what the conse-
quences may be; and the men and
women whose lives are counting for
something in the world are those who
care not whether men are standing
by to praise or to blame, but who
are going fearlessly ahead in the dis
charge of duty. 1t will doubtless be
helpful to have the advice and en-
couragement of friends, but after all
it is left largely for every man to
determine for himself what is his
duty in regard to his cours of action.
Men often think that if they we're
placed in positions of great response
bility and trust they would do their
duty; but until a man has schooled
himself to do his duty in the little
common things of life it is not safe
to risk him where the responsibilities.
are great. All men cannot become
great, as the world counts greatness.
but all can be good and true and
honest, and do their duty in the COM
mon things that come in their life;
and this is, after all, true greatness.
