lombard THE CITY
THROUGH TWO DAYS
Government Forces Poured Shot
into Mananga, But With
Little Result.

MANAGUA, Feb. Is. -- General
Lara, leader of the government forces,
to-day resumed his bombardment OF
Matagalpa, eighty miles northeast of
here, which is held by the revolu-
tionary army under General Chomer-
ro. To-day's dispatches say that the
bombardment. which has been in pro-
sress for two days, has not greatly
damaged the city.
The position OF the revolutionists In
Matagalpa Is in doubt, because the
government force controls the tele-
graph station.
General Chomerr1s desire to open
peace negotiations with Madriz, as in
Dictated In his letter to Vice Consul
Caldera here. caused the report that
the revolutionary army Is in a bad
way and finds itself unable to carry
out the planned campaign against this
city There seems nothing stronger
to base this report on. however, than
the fact that General Lara. who, IL
was supposed. was being held In
check by General Mena. has renewed
lighting with the main division of the
revctuticnists
William De Savigny, the American
consul at Matagalpa, wires that the
American residents of that city are
taking no active part in the fighting,
but are preparing to defend their
property in the event OF the capture
of the city by the government army.
1t was reported that the Americans
were organizing cavalry troop to as

NINA NOT SIGHTED
SEARCH STILL ON
Naval Vessels Securing Vicinity
Mouth of Chesapeake-Hepe of
Her Safety Diminishing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-As II Il
believed that the missing naval tug
Nina did not get north of Fenwick
Island. the Navy Department to-day
directed that the search for the miss
ing tug in the northern district be
abandoned II viii be continued in
the neighborhood where she was last
reported. short distance north OF
the mouth of the Chesa peake.
1t now seems likely, according to
reports received at the Navy Depart
ment to-day. that the missing naval
tug Nina succeeded in making only a
few miles on her trip northward be-
fore she went down or was blown out
of her course.
The scout cruiser Salem. which is
making the search out OF Norfolk.
visited Fenwick Island lightship and
reports that the Nina was not sighted
there. 1t was the intention of Boat
swain Croghan to keep to the coast
sighting all lights. and ii he had fol-
lowed out this plan 1t Is likely that
the tug would have been sighted. I'M
less he were some distance out OF his
course and the weather thick. Fem
wick Island Iightship is scarcely more
than twenty-five miles from the canes
at the entrance of the Chesapeake and
should have been passed on the Sum
day morning that the tug sailed.
Each day diminishes the hope. that
tine vessel may yet be picked up,
though 1t is not yet accepted as GER
tain that she has gone down It is
stiff" regarded as possible that she liz
out at sea In a crippled condition. but
nearly every discovery made SO far
