CHAMORRO IS

His Soldiers Need Supplies Before
They Attack Manasus and Plant
The Flag on the
Capitol.
RE1NFoRCEMENTs COME
AS Soon as They Arrive the Army
Will Start For the Chief
City Of Nicara-
qua.

BLUEFIELDS, Feb. 15.-Af. order is
being rushed by courier today to Gen
eral Chamorro, commanding the pro-
visionary army now situated between
Managua and Matagalpa. The COM
mand was wired by Provisional Presi-
dent Estrada to the westernmost sta
tion of the army's telegraph service
upon receipt of message from Cha
MORO that his forces are in desperate
straits because of lack of provisions.
Chamorro has been manouvering to
afford time for the arrival Of reinforce
ments from Rama. General Mena and
thousand men are rushing post haste
to join the main body, while scattered
forces Of revolutionists are mobilizing
beyond Santa Clara. Every moment
of delay while cut off from the base of
supplies at Rama, means hardship to
Chamorro's men. The reinforcements
are expected to come up with Chamor-
70 within day or two and the assault
on Managua will begin as soon as they
arrive.
The army of occupation in Matagal.
pa is believed by Estrada to be capa-
Bile of holding out against the bonn
bardment by administration artillery
under General Lara, and he is little
concerned for the safety of the posi-.
tion as the light guns cannot work
much damage.

Astronomer Notes New Canal ons
Thousand Miles Long Which Has
Just Been Built on the
Star.
PEOPLE ARE UP THERE
Prof Lowell selIS ! That Mars il
Inhabited and That Human
Beings Built the New
Canal.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-A new canar
on Mars, 1000 miles in length, has
been discovered by Prof. Percival Lo-
well of the Flagstaff, Ariz.. observa-
tory. and this is evidence, according
to the astronomer, that the planet ia
inhabited. The announcement Of the
discovery was made to Prof. S. w.
Burnham OF the Yerkes observatory.
Professor Lowell spent few hours
in Chicago. He is on his way west.
Not only did Professor Lowell sea
the new canal. but he photographed
1t. Previous photographs of this re-
gion, made as late as last May, failed
to show any trace Of the new canal
The fact that it developed between
May and September, when 1t was first
observed, Professor Lowell regarded
as positive proof that it was artificial,
and, therefore. that living beings exist
on the neighbor planet.
Professor Lowell's discovery is OF
the utmost Importance" said Profess
sor Burnham, 1T seems to be the
strongest confirmation yet obtained OF
the belief that there are living. intelli-
gent being on Mars. 1t is bound to
cause stir in the world of astronomy.
Professor Lowell's observations, COW
ering fifteen years or more, have done
much to reveal conditions on Mars.
But this seems to be the most striking
of his discoveries.
professor Lowell's theory that the
markings on the planet are canals and
that these canals are the work Of 1iv,
| ing beings is the only one that fits all
the known facts. Those who doubt
Professor Lowell's conclusions have
been unable to assail them with any
degree OF success, Professor Lo-
well is to be congratulated on his dis
| coyery.''
