held here yesterday two local clips
were disposed of during the day. Pear
son & Johnson sold their wool for
the price of 12 IA cents, the buyer
being Defour. while the Charles
Johnson clip was sold for Is Is cents
per pound.
The activity yesterday came about
as a result of an understanding be-
tween the buyers and a number of
woolgrowers to the effect that if the
growers would place their clips on
sale the buyers would bid but would
guarantee the buyers the privilege of
Withdrawing their clips without in
jury. In the past growers who have
withdrawn their clips after having
received bids have sometimes met with
difficulty in securing favorable prices.
This caused many of them to hesitate
about offering their clips yesterday
until assured by the buyers that the
withdrawal of the clips would not
work against them.

Bluefields, May 25.-Estrada, the
revolutionary leader, is at the last
ditch. fighting specially to prevent
the capture Of the custom house on
the bluff overlooking Bluefields. This
position is the key to the city. Gun
ners have been dueling since yester-
day. Should Madriz succeed, It is
probable he will ask the commander
of the American gunboat Paducah for
permission 10 enter Bluefields. II
denied, Madriz will probably attempt
to enter by force. The fall of Blue
fields seems inevitable, although II
is reported Madriz's charges have been
repulsed. Five hundred troops land
ed last night from the Venus below
Bluefie1ds, and the bombarding by
Americans. who are operating the
machine guns, was Estrada's main
reliance. their fire stopping the
charges. The American residents
have appealed for protection from
the Paducah's commapder.
The sounds of a battle can be heard
here. Many foreigners have gone to
their consulates for protection. The
Paducah holds the key to the situ-
alton as only her power can prevent
pillage of the city. Commander Gill
NOR Is firm in his stand that troops
can not enter the city and a clash
between the marines and advance
guards of the Madriz army is not un-
likely Skirmishing has been going
on for three days. Heavy losses are
reported by couriers.
