consideration, were informed by a
friendly brave Of the approaching
danger and were among the whites

Mr.. Brady, in an hours talk praised
the people Of the county and state and

Mr.. Marsh, with his face livid en-

Mr. Marsh. Il pronounce all undertakings

any details of his own business to show
just how much actual delivery was per-

quarters today on ten days vacation
and the air was thick with rumors that
he will not come back.
Mayor Gaynor denied tonight that the
commissioners vacation has any signiii-

conferences and questions he consented
to give out the following statement:
''The mayor stayed until $50 before

BLEACHED FLOUR
CASE TO BE TRIED

New Orleans February 11-Judge Fos-
ter in the United States district court
today decided that the so-called "bleached
flour" case, on the hearing of the petition
of the government against the Aetna
Milling company of Kansas, should be
tried on it's merits in this court and not
at Council Bluffs, la. Many modern mill
ing methods are involved.
The bill of exceptions attacking the con-
stitutionality of the United States pure
food and drugs act of 1906 having been
overruled counsel for the defendants to-
dav asked that the case be tried on its
merits in the federal court at Council
Bluffs. where a similar petition of the
government against the milling company
will come up February 10. This Judge
Foster declined to do. He set the case
for next Tuesday and announced that
the defendants must be prepared TO pre-
sent their side of the case on that day
or the ex parte evidence of the govern
ment would be heard and judgment given
against the milling company by default.
Counsel for the milling company said
today that because their witnesses are
in the middle west they are not in a
position to present their case In New
Orleans, and that If Judgment Is given
against them they will take an appeal to
the United States circuit court OF appeals.

INSURGENTS GAIN
IMPORTANT POINT

Bluelields, Nicaragua, February lin
formation received here today. which
there is every reason to believe, is 10
the effect that General Mena of the revo-
utonary forces has taken the main body
of his men, including that of General
Seedon, around Santa Clara hill and
reached Tamanga. it is stated, which is
two days march from Acoyapa and three
days from General Chamorro who is at
Camoapa.
General Mena a week ago sent General
Seedon with 200 men TO Porvencer, which
is within sight of Santa Clara. This force
1t is reported. succeeded in deceiving Gen.
eral Vasqucz who is in command of the
government troops, into the belief that
Mena was about to attack again. Mean
while Mena was circling the unprotected
hills and being rejoined by a small
squadron of troops who secretly with
drew from Porvencer. Chamorro's force
consists of 2000 men now. owing TO his
having been reinforced from Chontalles.
General Chamorro still occupies the posi-
tion of the village of Comalapa, while
the main body of the government troops,
under General Rivas, is at Matagalpa six
miles distant from Comalapa. This news
was received by telegraph direct from
Lamanga and it required one day in
transmission. General Mena said he con-
tempiated march nearer Acoyapa,
where he would be in the rear OF Vas
quez. and where he contemplated an i'm
mediate attack. thereby occupying the
attention of this force to prevent 1t join
ing Rivas. while Chamorro coincidentally
will attempt an attack on Rivas.
News of this battle is expected daily.

Mena. with an inferior force, will have
deprived Rivas of the assistance of 256
of his force. which would greatly tighten

SOME CRITICISM
OF DICKINSON

Washingt February 11.-Because
an independent steamship line to the
Isthmus of Panama on the Pacific
coast would enter into competition with
trans continental railroads was given
as reason today for the rejection by
Secretary of War Dickinson of an Of
fer made to the government by syn
dicate of Baltimore men. The details
of the offer were given to the Senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals by
B. n. Baker, for president of a Balti-
more line, in the hearing of the Flint
McLachlan bin 1or the establishment
of a government owned line on the west
coast.
Mr.. Baker said that when the Pacific
Mail steamship company gave notice
that it would insist upon receiving 10
per cent of the joint rate on business
via the isthmus instead of so per cen,
il had received for a number of years
he offered to put on line If he was
given a mail contract similar to those
given to the other lines.
Such a line as he proposed to estab-
lish, said Mr.. Baker, would have con-
nected with the government vessels
between New York and Colon.
"Why was your offer rejected?" ask ed
Senator Bristow.
Mr. Baker replied that the Secretary
of War was of the opinion that he II ad
no jurisdiction In the matter. lie add
ed that he understood that Postmaster
General Hitchcock would have favored
the plan If it had met with the ap-
proval of the head of the war depart
ment.
The whole thing here is that the
United States does not intend to do
anything that would hurt the trans
continental railroads. calculated Mr..
BriStoW.
