 Observed.

Spies declare that the Madriz troops are out numbered and their fighting strength is inferior to the prowess of the provisional governments armies.
 The Estrada muster has been success fully accomplished at Acoyapa without the loss of a man. The troops have plenty of food, their ammunition is sufficient for a weeks fighting, while the men are eager for the beginning of the battle that will decide supremacy in Nicaragua, and will probably outline the future policy of government in Central America.
 General Mena, with 1900 troops. arrived at Acoyapa today. He brought with him the Yankee gunners who worked such havoc in the battle of Recreo. In his command were many soldiers who for merly fought under Zelaya's colors
 It is believed the Madriz troops are ready for battle. They were re-enforced by 500 men from Managua today. Even with this number their fighting strength is believed to be greatly inferior to that of the provlsionals

MEMORIAL ARCH
IS DEDICATED
UnveiI Monument to Perpetuate
Name Of Pioneer Waialua
Church Workers.

Perpetuating the memory Of the frst
white missionary to work on the Wal
alua side Of Oahu, the Emerson Memo
rial Arch was yesterday unveiled with
appropriate ceremonies.
The arch was erected directly in front
of the old waialua Church and is CON
strueted in graceful designs of moss
grown rock. Among the speakers of
the day was Police Surgeon Nathaniel
B. Emerson, the SON Of the man in
honor Of whom the arch stands.
Rev John S. Emerson, accompanied
by his wife, arrived in the Islands in
the fifth company Of missionaries to
take up work in Hawaii. They came
ON the whaleship AvericR, commanded
by Captain Swain, which sailed from
New Bedford in 1881 and arrived in
Honolulu harbor in May Of the follow
ing year,
Waialua became their own peculiar
ground and their names are linked for
ever with church work in that district.
With the exception of four years dur
ing which he was stationed at the La
hainaluna Seminary, the Reverend En-.
erson spent the remainder of his days
in Waialua., He did, however, pay
visit to the United States in 1860, dying
on March 20, 1867 on the scene Of his
labors.
He was born in Chester, New Hamp-
shire, in 1880, and was educated in
Dartmouth College and Andover Sem
mary.
Mrs. Emerson ursula Sophia Newell),
died at waialua in 1888, many years
after her husband. She also was ma.
tive of New Hampshire.

DOUBLE SALARY
GIVEN TO EXPERT
The Philippine GOvernment.Loath
to Loses Services of
CIegg.

The Philippine government did not
like to lose the services of Moses 4.
Clegg the leprosy scientist, according
to the following item in the Manila
Times of September II:
The authorities of Hawaii have made
an offer for the services of M. r. Clegp,
one of the cleverest of the younger
scientists IN the service of the govern
ment, and it is probable that he win ac-
.eept. Mr.. Clegg is a bacteriologist who
has distinguished himself in his research
work in leprosy and it is to specialize
IN this work that the government Of
Hawaii seeks his services.
|, 1t will be recalled that last year
Clegg succeeded in making cultures Of
leprosy bacllli, feat that had hereto
fore baffled the scientific world and
which possibly opens the way for the
discovery Of cure for the disease.
Clegg's cultures were made on the
germs of amoeba and they have since
been fully verified at the laboratory in
Hawaii and elsewhere.
1t was this work that first attracted
the attention of the scientific staff at
Honolulu and when Clegg recently
passed through that city on a vacation
trip he was asked if he would entertain
an offer to enter that service for the
further study of leprosy.
No arrangement was concluded at the
time as Clegg had certain work to be
completed here, but the last mail from
Honolulu brought formal offer. The
salary is more than twice that paid by
the local government and there will be
an opportunity to devote more time to
the study of leprosy, so it is likely that
the tender will be accepted.
Clegg has not been in good health in
recent months and 1t is likely that he
VIII rest for month or two before en-
tering on his new duties.
The Philippines will lose a very valu-
able man in this young scientist. He
is an expert bacteriologist and besides
doing large amount of routine work
has found time for much original re-
search. He has the genius for the work
and will probably do big things in the
field to which he has devoted himself.

the steamers for Hongkong. Its length
is lOs feet, beam IS feet 6 inches, and
depth 10 feet. She is commanded by
Captain Ellis and both her chief Of.
fleer and chief engineer are Americans
She carries crew of twenty. Mr..
Steven says that proportionally she is
the most expensive vessel to maintain
on the Philippine coast. The Hawaii
left port again last night for Siquijor,
with Mr.. Steven and MFR. Fugate on
board as passengers.
