CORINTO, Jan. .S.-A 15-year-Old
boy was the sole commanding Off
Ger at the government barracks at
Corinto, Nicaragua, at the time the
United States navy transport Buff
falo arrived at this port with blue
jackets and marines. He had been
left in charge of the barracks by
one of the Nicaraguan generals
who had been summoned to Blue
field, and even though he had only
handful of men to back him up in
case of trouble, he showed a real
love for his country.
During the entire stay of the Buff
falO at Corinto this skinned
lad commanded his regiment and
saw to 1t that the new recruits
were drilled in every way in mill
tary life. Most Of the men in his
command were barefooted, in rags,
and carried rifles that might have
been used during the civil war.
The Pacific Mail steamer Penn

HOBOKEN CAPITALIST
VICTIM OF FOREIGN
SW|NDLERS
A Bullying Purse Looked
Good-Exchanged Healthy
Roll for Worthless Paper.

ROME, Jan. 8.-Police officials
of this place are still searching for
two clever swindlers-one an
American and the other Irish
who victimized Joseph Jackson, a
prominent and wealthy business
man of Hoboken, N. j., here a
week ago, On one of the Oldest
tricks known to the confidence
fraternity, and fleeced him for
$4,000. Particularly because one
of the bunco men was an American,
in this far-away country. was Jack
son glad of the acquaintance OF him
and his Irish friend.
While the three were sightseeing
together the Irishman, as if by ac-
cident. dropped purse of liberal
size and seemingly we'll filled with
bank notes. Jackson saw it drop
and restored it to the loser,
whereupon the American upbraided
his Celtic friend for his careless
ness in caring for "such a large
amount of money he was taking as
present to the pope" 1t re-
Quired but little urging to induce
Jackson to take charge of the bulg'
ing wallet, and in turn he delivered
his own healthy roll to be held as
security. They parted soon after
or. rather, became separated in a
crowd-and the HOboken capitalist
was unable to locate them there
after. On repairing to his fashion
able apartments he found that the
handsome wallet that contained
"the present for the pope" was fill
ed with wads of worthless paper.

Serious as Bread Famine in
America.

PARIS, Jan. 8.-There's a drouth
a-coming to France which is sure
to make some folks tongues hang
out. There's a big shortage in the
wine crop; only 1,3S6,OOOOOO gal.
Ions were made this season. In
1908 there were 1923, 100000 gal.
Ions, which makes a shortage for
the past year between 100000 ,OOO
and 300,000,000 gallons.
The Herault country. the great
est wine producer in France, and
the Gironde, which includes the
Medoc country, both show slight
increase, but the Saone-et-Loire and
! the COte-d'Or districts yield not
more than half their usual
amounts. These are the two big
Burgundy lands. AS a result OF
these shortages. prices have been
going up since last October, and
they will not reach their limit until
the crop for 1910 is in sight.
The consequence of this tC
France is much graver than the
American can realize.

'ABS|NTHE F|END
MURDERS FOR
MONEY
Insane Desire for Drug
Causes Him to Kill for
Extra Money.

PARIS, Jan. 2.-Induced by an
insane desire for absinthe, drug
to which he had become q hopeless
victim, Leon Thabuis, keeper of a
ward in an insane asylum here, en-
gagged in a carnival of murders
among the inmates that he might
secure the extra franc that was al
lowed him for extra work of caring
for each of the dead bodies, and
there is no doubt expressed here
now but that he must meet death
on the guillotine.
Thabuis was the keeper of an in
durable ward. For weeks before the
discovery of his crimes it was noted
by the asylum authorities that his
patients trembled in fear every
time he approached them.
The crime that resulted in the
discovery of his other atrocities
was the brutal murder of an old
man, who was hopeless idiot. He
was found to have been strangled
to death.
An investigation followed. 1t was
found that there had been a death
in Thabuis' ward every day for IL
days. The bodies of six patients
exhumed showed they had been
strangled
Rules of the asylum allowed one
franc to the keeper of a ward for
the extra work entailed by the
death of one of his charges. Tha-
buis. to buy his absinthe, had en-
gagged in a carnival of strangula-
tions and with the money he had
gained would sit up all night about
a table tipping and grinning at the
pictures the poison made.

r ONDON, Jan. S.-Today, on
the eve of the most mo-

work for them for almost nothing

CATTLE DRIVING IS
RESUMED in
IRELAND
It Is a Manner of Protest
Against a New Land
Bill.

DUBLIN, Jan. 8.-The promised
winter campaign has begun, and
members of parliament and league
organizers are vying with one an
other in their denunciation of land
lordism and all it's works. AS a
protest apparently against the form
in which the land bill has become
an act, cattle driving has been re-
sumed all over the country. Within
few days, between 200 and 300
cattle were scattered over portions
of four counties. At GUNNER, Gal
way, bullocks were cleared off a
large ranch and at Shindone, Kings
county, 25 animals were driven sew
eral miles.
In Tipperary the hazel was piled
to such purpose that a considerable
lumber out Of herd of As bullocks
were not recovered for several
Nays. Westmeath has been the
gene of two extensive drives. Some
cattle were driven off the grass
knds at Lacken and Rathganny and
more off the Tyfarnham ranch.
in the Multyfarnham district
p arrests are recorded in connec-
pm with these exploits.

SHANGHAI, Jan. SIT is be.

is ended and that peace will reign
again between the Japanese and

been fighting almost necessarily for

According to a Seoul dispatch,
Japanese troops, under the com
mand of Major Igarashi, recently
captured Choi Hai-sam, the most
Influential leader of the insurgents
in south COrea.
During the IL months to October
81 the Japanese troops had 976 en-
counters with the insurgents. Many
men have been killed ON both sides
in that time and the warfare has
cost both much to maintain their

MANY SENSATIONS SPRUNG
AT Big TRAINING CAMPS
Gamblers Plot Said to Have Been
Unearthed by Richard
Other Stories
PUBLIC FEELS UNCERTAIN

The telegraph wires are fairly hum
ming with tales of various sorts from
the training camps of Jeffries ana

news. near news and the purely manu-
featured article emanating from those
t,vo astiana fountain heads is fairly
steaming nowadays, says the Detroit
Iournal 1t is with difficulty that the
average reader is enabled TO keep up
with the constant procession OF stories,
real and fancled. principally the latter,
and form definite conclusion as TO
what is what and which is which in
the heterogeneous mass printed in def
erence TO the Unsuitable demands of the
fight fans.
Among the amazing stories which
have been spread broadcast are those
IN the effect that Johnson and Little
have parted company, that Gov. Gil
Iette of California thinks the outcome
of the contest has already been ar
ranged and many others of similar
nature.
II Is said that Tex Richard has un-
earthed a plot of the gamblers TO Tx
the fight. The story runs that john
son has been approached by sure thing
men and offered large sums of money
to "lay down" during the course OF
hostilities on the Fourth of next July
In response to this tale, Richard an
nounces that he will certainly referee
a

of any funny work will call all bets
off and at the same time notify big

pay off.
These are not the only sensational
features cropping out from the train
ing camps within the last few days
Jeffries and Corbett began their worn
together with a row and the latter was
about ready to throw up his job OF
trainer when things were patched up
This raft. of conflicting sensational
ism bursting out daily from the riva
training camps may, after all, be
blessing i'm disguise. Since the wires
have been crowded with this matter
little or nothing has been heard from
the reformers who would put stoI
to the great boxing match. The news
from the reform centers pales into IN
significance when those fight principals
their managers and the promoters OF
the big mill open up their batteries
and occupy the limelight of publicity
There was one period about ten days
ago when the church heads were using
up more space than the fight camp or
acles, but it did not take the latter lonf
to drown out the reformers and Sc
cure an upper hand of the Fourth OF
July situation.
