N|CARAGUAN REBEL
LEADER TO FIGHT
ON, He DECLARES
General Estrada, in Spite of
Crippled Forces, Asserts He
Will Continue War.

BLUEFIELDS, March 4-General
Estrada, head of the provisional gov
and leader of the insurgents,
declared today that he intended to
Withdraw his forces, into the bush and
oppose the advance of Madriz to the
bitter end. But it is necessary to read
between the lines of this statement.
The provisional government wishes to
force American intervention if possible,
because it cannot consistently ask for
it in the face of its many refusals to
consider the peace proposals made by
Madriz al the time when 1t seemed that
victory to the PROFESSIONALS was almost
assured. General Estrada did not even
answer the proposal advanced by the
consular body at Managua, believing
that it merely indicated that Madriz
was on his last legs.
1t is pointed put that an appeal from
General Estrada to the United States
government now would defeat its own
end, as that government, having held
aloof in the more prosperous times of
the PROFESSIONALS. hardly could be ex-
pected to jump into the breach to a V
a cause already all but lost. MOI could
Madriz be expected to entertain with
favor a proposition looking to media
ton by a foe whose alternative was
ultimate subjugation. If anything could
stir, the administration at Washington
to independent action, it is believed
that the prospect of endless indecisive
fighting, such as Estrada proposes, Is
that thing.
The proposition thus reduces itseli
to the question whether Washington
will intervene Immediately to stop fur
Their bloodshed m financial ruin to the
American interests on the east coast
await the augmentation of the already
heavy mortality list n then inter
vene, or. now that its objeet-the GUST
ing of Zelaya-has been accomplished
allow the Nicaraguans to work out
their own salvation.
General Estrada said today that the
east coast might as well go to ruin
fighting to the last drop of blood, as
submit to the rule of Madriz, whom he
branded as a second Zelaya. Without
American intervention that is what is
likely to happen, for even the Ameri-
cans who have suffered greatly under
the Zelayan rule. will go down with
\ their flags nailed to the mast.

TRIED TO BUY N. Y. SUN, WITH
ROOSEVELT AS EDITOR.

NEW YORK, March Nv. j. Arkell,
of C~anajoharie, N. Y, former owner Of
Judge, the humorous weekly. admitted
last night he had attempted to buy
the New York Sun, and his hope had
been to have Theodore Roosevelt as
editor. He said:
Il am disappointed that my negotia-
tions with the Laffan estate did not
succeed. / am not sure we should
altogether have made a hit. Mr..
Roosevelt, 0 see, would perhaps have
scared the financial coteries of Repub-
licanism in Wall Street. But l. think
we should have had a big thing. There
Is no doubt people would have wanted
to see what Colonel Roosevelt said
about things
Mr.. Arkell was asked about a pub
lished report that an agreement had
been come to with the executors to buy
the interest of the late W. M. Laffan
in the u for 50, 600, 900, that a discus
sion ensued as to what the policy of
the paper would be under its new pro-
prietors and that when it was learned
Colonel Roosevelt was to have
control the sale was declared off.
THAT is not true" declared Mr.. Ar
kell. 1.-The truth Is that l got in touch
with the Sun people to purchase and
offered &c. 200, 600. They replied they
had refused $500, 900. There our nego-
tiations ended.
Later 1 may try again. But not at
So, 500, 00o."

ALL HOTELS ARE CLOSED;
GUESTS SLEEP IN JAIL.

LEWISTON, Pa, March 4.-Charies
Buck, Jack wyle and Lewis Ball, all OF
Philadelphia, travelling statesmen, were
placed In a ludicrous position Wednes-
day night, when they arrived in town
on the last train.
After applying at all the hotels, which
had been closed when h proprietors
failed again to get licenses, and walk
ing the streets until after midnight,
they applied at the county jail for lodg-
ings. Sheriff S. H. Boyer rendered
them his spare room and they partook
of prison fare this morning.
The men are very much exercised lest
some enterprising reporter publish them
as having been locked up as suspicious
characters.
Owing to the hotels being closed here
and at Mcveytown, the members of the
agricultural party on the Pennsylvania
railroad instruction train were unable
to get dinner yesterday at either place.

BRISTOL'S NEW POSTMASTER
WORRIES PRESIDENT TAFT.
Two States Claim Right to Make
Nomination.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The horns
of a dilemma, are a comfortable perch in
comparison with that President Taft
is occupying Just now. as he seek to
reconcile warning factions and deter
mine who shall be postmaster Of Bris-
toll, ya.-Tenn-
Bristol is a town of about $4,000
population, SO remarkably located that
it's main street lies along the dividing
line between HI two States. 1t chances
that the postofice building stands ON
the Tennessee side of the street For
that reason it has for many years been
regarded as a part of h patronage OF
the ennesse congressman from that
district. Representative Slemp, how
ever, who represents the Virginia dis
trict that embraces the eastern haR OF
Bristol, maintains that there Is no rea-
son why he should not have a chance
to nominate the postmaster now and
then.
There was every indication that MI.
Siemp would be successful when he
induced the President to send TO ths'
/ Senate the nomination of G. e. Godell-
| Soon. though, rather a decided clement
of doubt was introduced when Repre-
sentative Brownlow. of the Tennessee
district, marshaled his forces and had
the confirmation held up.
The President promises tina all par
ties at interest shall be heard. {

REPORT TEN ALIVE
IN TRAIN WRECK
BY AVALANCHE
UncOnfirmed Rum0r States That
Car in Washington Disaster
Contains Many Living.

EVERETT, Wash, March 4.-The re-
port circulated here late last night
that ten persons had been found alive
in a car excavated from the mass of
snow covered wreckage at Wellington
has cause great excitement here, but
is so far unconfirmed.
The wire to Wellington was lost dur
ing last nights storm, and it is inn
possible to get word direct from there
AT the Great Northern offices here 1T
is said they have received no con-
tirmation of the rumor. Persons who
left Scenic late yesterday afternoon had
heard nothing of the rescue of the i'm
prisoned passengers and are inclined
to doubt the story. The telegraph
company expects to get the line open
to Wellington today.
Three postal clerks from Seattle have
taken charge of the mai removed from
the wreck. Great Northern detectives
are with them and are assisting in
guarding the registered matter.
The storm which started last night
and swept down the canyon to Scenic
changed into a %drenching rain this
morning, increasing the discomfort and
danger of the men at work digging for
bodies.
The Great Northern expects to bring
the first bodies out on a train sched-
uled to leave Scenic this afternoon
Most of the bodies will be taken to
Seattle, where they will be held await
ing instructions from relatives.
Thirty-one of the t~hirty-five bodies
recovered LAY been identified. The
bodies of Bert Matthews, of Cincinnati
and e. w. Topping, of Ashland, o.
| were found late yesterday.
Eighty-six names are now on the
list of dead and missing passengers
railroad and postal employees, who
were carried down by the avalanche
that destroyed two /. Great Northern
trains Tuesday morning. Statements
of the number of laborers fighting the
snow who were sleeping on the i'll
fated trains vary from twenty to thirty

This action of the Mayor. was taken
when he learned that Common Council
had decided to employ an expert to do

the enforcement of this bond can be
used to make him do the work, even
though he has retired from the office.
