Mays last special day comes on the
thirtieth-Memorial day 1t is worthy
of recognition by every loyal American
citizen and should be day honored
reverently by old and young
1t is, with all its sadness, day OF
great thankfulness, inasmuch as the
gray and blue" are united as one man
under the glorious Stars and Stripes.
An occasion of unusual interest is
being planned for next Saturday night
by a devoted daughter of an old sol
der. 1t is to be a camp fire" to
which six men of the Loyal Legion are
hidden as honored guests Each man
is requested to relate a war story OF
ten minutes duration from his actual
experience, and each is to wear some
thing (if he has anything) that he
wore during the war. The host Is TO
receive in his uniform (captain's), that
was made for him in southern city
nearly half a century ago.
The rooms are to be decorated with
flags and pictures of war heroes, and
there is to be big wood blaze in the
fireplace The refreshments are to be
bareback, coffee, grilled bacon sand
wiches, pie. doughnuts. pickles and
cheese. War songs are to be sung,
and the wives of the six soldier guests
are to come dressed as the girls of 81
and serve the refreshments, but this is
a surprise, so let US hope none of the
men will read Dame Curtsey' today.
Pipes, cigars and liquid refreshments
are to be conveniently near at hand to
facilitate the story telling.
Would that every old soldier
throughout the length and breadth of
our fair land could receive a personal
hand-clasp and smile of recognition
on this coming Memorial day.

MADR|z FORCES ATTACK
ESTRADA; ARE REPULSED
Gunboat PaduCah Prepared to
Protect Rights of American
Vessels at BIuefieIdS

BLUEFIELDS, Mic, May 30.-Gen.
Lara, commander of the Madriz for
ces, again attacked Gen. Estrada's posi-
tion yesterday. About o'clock in
the morning he began an assault on
Estrada's left flank with 500 men, but
after hard fighting, in which many
were killed and wounded, the Madriz
troops were forced to retire. Estraua 5
losses We're light
About the same time an assault be
gan on the extreme south flank, but
this, too failed with heavy losses to
Lara's men. Estrada succeeded in cap
turing a large number of prisoners
who report that Gen. Lara is convinced
it will be impossible to take the en-
trenchments of the PROFESSIONALS.
The port of Bluefields has been Of
ficially claimed by the provisional gov
ernment from the bluff to point three
miles up the Escondido river, and the
customs house has been removed to the
city of Bluefields. The representatives
of Madrz, however, who now hold the
bluff claim the right to stop all yes
sells proceeding in and out of the har-
Dor to collect duties
This has complicated the situation,
and it is understood a ruling of the
American state department as to
whom duties shall be paid is awaited.
The Madriz steamer Venus has not
been permitted to lombard the
trenches back of Bluefields. This
would have necessitated firing over the
city. The United States gunboat Pa
ducah prepared for action, although
the necessity for this did mot arise.
A force Of United States marines,
which is greatly needed is expected
to arrive here soon.
Rumors state the bluff was lost to
Estrada through treachery and the
taking of this strong position by the
Madriz forces has materially lessened
Fstrada's chances of success.

SISTER CHARGES BROTHER
WITH STEALING HER YACHT
Has Relative Arrested When He
Starts on a Cruise

NEW YORK, May 30.-Miss Alice
Havens, a resident of New Rochelle,
appeared before City Judge Samuel
Swinburne in the New Rochelle police
court last evening against her brother,
David II. Havens, who is 81 years of
age and a real estate broker at Two
Hundred and Twenty street
and White Plains Road, Bronx. The
sister charges the brother with having
stolen her yacht, Aunt Matte, from
a shipyard at New Rochelle. She said
he sailed it to City Island, where she
had the Westchester police arrest him
on a charge of grand larceny.
Miss Havens said that her brother
had no right to take the yacht, and
that he was going on cruise with it.
Mr.. Havens told the judge that the
yacht belonged to him, as his sister
had given it to him.
Judge Swinburne dismissed the COM
plant against Mr.. Havens and told
Miss Havens that if she had any claim
on the yacht she should bring a civil
action against her brother.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Gifford
Pinchot, former chief forester of the
United States, was ready as ever to
discuss forest conservation problems
when the liner Arabic, on which he
was a passenger, got to her pier to-
day from Europe, where Mr.. Pinchot
met Col. Roosevelt shortly after the
latter returned from Africa.
Mr.. Pinchot, however, was uncom-
municative when politics was broached,
and he would not discuss the pending
controversy in which he, with Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger, plays so prom
inent a part.
Mr. Pinchot alluded briefly to his
meeting with the former president:
at met Col. Roosevelt at Porto Maui
rizio. near Genoa" said the former
forester and he appeared in splendid
physical trim. l never saw him looking
much better. l was delighted at learn
ing he would address the congress of

viewer. that you and Col Roosevelt
went out into a forest and had a very
earnest conversation"
Mr.. Pinchot laughed heartily and
said:
"WeI, that is indeed most beautiful
country but there is really no forest
about. The scenery consists principally
of olive trees
The good humor of the conservation
worker appeared sufficient to embolden
a questioner to mention the name of
Secretary Ballinger, but Mr.. Pinchot
said:

quiry nor anything in that line AS a
matter of fact, have not been in close
touch with the situation since 1 left
here
Mr.. Pinchot was spoken to about the
summing up by Mr.. Vertrees on Satur-
day in the Ballinger inquiry and said:
"Oh. 1 read about that. Some papers
were handed to me aboard the boat last
night. I see he says I'm a small

silence on developments around Blue
fields, it is acknowledged in diplo-

customs house from Bluefields bluff

garrison there that the government
will continue to demand payment of
duties, has placed this government in
an embarrassing position.
