RESULTS OF RECENT BATTLES
Both Sides Gain Victories in Nicara
qua Engagements.

Both Sides Gain Victories in Nicara.
qua engagements.
Bluefields, Nicaragua, Feb. 12.--Gen-
eral Chamorro has 5000 well trained
soldiers under his command and will
be able to capture Managua whenever
be deems the time opportune, accord
ing to the statements of couriers who
arrived here from the scene of the
fighting at Garita and Santa Clara.
These couriers, who were eyewit-
nesses of the battle at Santa Clara,
say General Mena scored complete vic
tory at Garita, but met defeat at Santa
Clara and was compelled to retreat
and set himself to keep the govern
ment troops in check on the way to
Managua.
Chamorro's intention, the couriers
say, was to advance against Managua
from the northeast, to rid the country
of several government forces in that
section of the country. Their state
ments explain the capture of Mata-
galpa by the revolutionists, news of
which has just reached here. The
couriers say that had Chamorro
marched direct to Managua he would
have taken the capital last Tuesday or
Wednesday.
In the battle of Garita General Mena
defeated superior force and followed
the enemy to Santa Slara, where the
government army was joined by heavy
reinforcements and turned the tables
On the revolutionists. Mena attacked
the enemy despite the fact that they
outnumbered his men three to one.
Twenty-six OF his men were killed
in this engagement and sixty wounded.
Retiring to Moogan Mena assumed
q strong position with the intention of
harrassing the government army and
preventing it from following General
Chamorro.

REVENGE PROBABLE
MOTIVE FOR CRIME
Wealthy Chicago Manufacturer
Murdered

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE carelessness
of murderer who dropped stiletto
guard after hacking to death Charles
Wiltshire, a wealthy glove manufac
turer, in his own Office, is expected
to bring about an arrest that will solve
the mystery of the killing.
Wiltshire was found dead near his
desk at midnight, his head and body
horribly mutilated with forty wounds
in some of which the stiletto had been
turned and twisted to make the slay.
er's work more terrible. The furni
ture in the Office was scattered about
the room and blood was everywhere
indicating that a fearful struggle had
taken place before Wiltshire gave up
his life.
Detectives who reached the prem
ises found stiletto guard of fash
ion peculiar to Italians. Within an
hour one of the investigators, who Is
an expert on Italian affairs, had identi
fed the guard as the property of an
Italian whose arrest Wiltshire had
caused some months ago on a charge
of selling stolen goods.
The police are working on the theory
that Wiltshire was slain for revenge
While his pockets were turned inside
out and rified other money lying in q
drawer was not touched. Evidently
too, the slayer remained in the Office

Alienation Of Affections.

New York, Feb. 14.-Following the
motion for a new trial of the aliena.
tion of affection suit brought by Mrs
Agnes NJ kendrick against Laura Big.
gar, formerly well known actress,
on the ground that the verdict OF $75,.
600 for the plaintiff is excessive. Attor-
ney Charles J. McDermott, for Miss
Biggar, is considering further plans
for the appeal of the case should his
motion be refused.
McDermott's motion for new trial
has been taken under advisement for
thirty days by Justice Crane in the su
preme court In Brooklyn. where the
verdict was rendered by a jury.
The $75,00O verdict has brought
about an unusual amount of discus
sion about the case as being one of the
largest judgments ever recorded in q
suit for alienation of affections as well
az on account OF the former prOmi

Great ALARM
AT MANACUA
Insurgents Threaten Capital
Of Nicaragua.
FALL OF CITY PROBABLE
+

Believed Government Troops Will Be
Unable to Repulse the Revolutionary
Force Now Eighty Miles Distant.
President Madriz Continues to Issue
Statements Hiding the True State of
Affairs.
Managua, Feb. 12.-Nothing now
stands in the way of General Chamor-
ro's advance against Managua. The
capture of Matagalpa, eighty miles
northeast of here, by the revolution
lists, following the defeat of govern
ment force near Muymuy, under Gen
eral Carrero, opens the road to the
capital and it is not believed possible
that General Vasquez, commander OF
the government forces, can throw an
intercepting army between Matagalpa
and Managua.
Madriz continues to issue statements
that the government forces have been
generally victorious, but he is either
himself deceived or is attempting to
deceive the public.
The city is greatly alarmed and the
prospect of an attack on the capital is
driving many of President Madriz'
former adherents from him. The gen.
eral belief is that it would be the
height of folly to attempt to give bat
tie to Chamorro, providing he has an
army of 5000, as is reported.

FIERCE STORM

FISHING VESSELS GO DOWN

Seventeen Men Saved Of Sandy Hook
by Use ef the Life Line After Life

Pittsburg Reports Snowfall of Sew
enteen Inches, the Heaviest Precipi.

New York, Feb. 14.-Through gigan-
tic waves, laden with ice and cut by
sleet beating at their dangling bodies,
seventeen men slid along slender
line from wrecked vessels to safety
on the beach at Sandy Hook. They
formed the crews of two fishing
schooners, the Franklin B. Nelson and
the Libby, which are now breaking to
pieces of the lifesaving station.
While heavy, driving snow hid ev-
erything beyond the line of breakers
at lifesaving station No. / watch
man was attracted by what he thought
was a falling star several hundred
yards off shore. He gave it no thought
until second star" appeared In the
same direction. A third and fourth
"star" appeared. Then he knew they
we're rockets from ship in distress.
Lifeboats were brought out to the
beach, where great waves were
pounding. The first boat launched
topped a huge breaker, but a second
wave caught it and hurled it back to
the beach.
Unable to Launch a Boat.
Again and again futile efforts were
made to get the boats through the
pounding combers. Finally the gun
was brought out.
After several attempts to strike the
trembling vessel q line was passed
over her bow. This was pulled aboard
by unseen hands. In five minutes
came a signal and the men ashore
pulled on the buoy line. In moment
a man appeared dangling in the spray
OF the waves, which dashed around
his body, at times hiding him com
pletely. Once ashore he was rushed
to the station for warmth and treat
ment Again the buoy shot out into
the darkness and returned with a
man. Six more trips we're made and
the last man whispered that there
we're no more. Hardly had the eight
been rescued when second shower
of "stars" several hundred yards
above the first attracted the patrol
mans attention. Again the line and
breeches buoy had to be resorted to
after several of the lifesavers had
been almost swept to sea by the re
ceding waves. Nine men were thus
saved from the second vessel.
