tack on the Capital. p IT,.
Washington, Feb. 24.-Victories of
immense Importance to the insurgent
arms of Nicaragua are told in dis
patches being received at the state
department.
General Chamorro, with the main
division of the insurgent army, has
completely evaded the government
forces sent out to check him and by a
flank movement-has taken the city Of
Granada. The Chamorro family Is
powerful there and the capture of the
city is most important It is inferred
that General Estrada, once believed to
be going in the direction Of Greytown,
Is marching to make a juncture with
Chamorro and attack Managua. The
losses OF. the government troops have
been terrific in the guerrilla warfare
which has ragged for the last few days.
Dispatches say that after the engage
ment of the 10th scores Of unburied
dead lay upon the field. The losses
of the provisional troops were light.
Complete disorder and panic are
spreading through the Madriz troops
and the government. All trains on
the railroad east of Managua have
been abandoned and the line is used
only for military purposes. The situa-
ton in the surrounding country is be-
coming more serious for the govern
ment. The insurgents also recaptured
the government steamer Victor on
Lake Managua. Z
Madriz, taking alarm at the spirit
Of unrest among the population, which
has increased every day as Chamor-
ro's troops have been advancing, has
practically declared a dictatorship
over the departments of Granada, Ma
saya and Carazo and has put Julian
Irias in charge with plenary powers.
The appointee was Zelaya's prime
minister.

MANY ON BOTH SIDES KILLED
Turks. and Bu'yarians Reported in Sc
fous Clash.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. 24.-News has
reached here of a serious clash be-
tween the Turkish and Bulgarian from
tier troops in the Tamrush district, in
which many on both sides were killed.
No details of the fighting have been
received further than that the soldiers
fought with rifles and machine guns.
Bulgaria has more than 100000
troops massed in the Kostendil and
Dubnitza districts and there is grave
fear that they may commit some overt
act that will precipitate Turko-Bul-
garian struggle before Bulgaria is
ready for It. The government is in
vestigating the outbreak.

words barely audible to her. alone,

She looked up, white-faced, wet-eyed,
her hands trembling violently as they
touched mine.
"Oh, l could not, I could not; the
words would choke me-"
She arose unsteadily to her feet,
gripping the table, then the back of
the bench. and thus helped, staggered
rather than walked forward. A long,
Lreathless moment she stood, grasping
the window-casing, staring blindly out
into the dark, the snow 1ecking the
glass, her shoulders bent and trem-
bling. She turned slowly, ashen-lipped,
one hand shadowing her eyes. Twice
she endeavored vainly to find voice;
then, clear, yet with the glistening OF
tears clinging to each word. she sang:
Jesus. Saviour. pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll.
Hiding rock, and treacherous shoal.
Chart and compass come from Thee;
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
While l live l remember the won

As a mother stills her child.

one hand upon my shoulder, and n
down until her cheek pressed my

easily to a dashed helm. Leaving Dade
above to keep a watchful eye IN the
weather, l willingly led the others in
to the stewards pantry, where we
pried open the door leading down into
the lazarette,
That same intense cold of the Ant
arctic smote us the moment the freak
ing hinges yielded, and we stood peer
ing down through the aperture. We
waited impatiently for the first frigid
breath to escape, huddled about the
stove in the cabin, and recalling va
rious sea tales of treasure seeking,
which only served to whet our appe-
tite for the coming adventure. Now
and then l lifted my eyes, meeting
Doris questioning glance, and assured
that | understood her mood.
At last, but we'll wrapped in our
mufflers and bearing a candle aloft
to cast it's Pickering yellow light
through the pitchy darkness, we ven
tured below, s%crambling down the
short ladder. Cole held the glim, his
black face shining, the whites of his
eyes conspicuous as he stared eagerly
about. We found innumerable boxes
and barrels, crates. bottles and wicker
TASKS, some open, the packing straw
strewn about, others tightly nailed,
piled everywhere, evidence that the
galleon had been amply provisioned
for a long voyage, and that her crew

had been the cold, the loneliness, the
awful agony of their hopeless condi-
ton that had left the Donna Isabel a
charnel ship. We handled this collec-
ton rapidly, contenting ourselves with
merely testing the weight of each
package, quickly convinced that none
was heavy enough to conceal precious
metal. This job must have occupied
more than an hour, handicapped as
we were by the poor light, and several
times l glanced through the open trap
overhead to observe the faces of the
women framed there as they watched
us silently. Once Dade stared down,

in the west, and lingering to observe
our operations until l had to order him
back upon deck.

peared in the forward bulkhead, and

patience. When finally reached, the
door was locked and seemingly as sol
i'd as the bulkhead itself, nor did a
search of the after state rooms reveal
any keys. No doubt they were in Sal
vatore's pocket, many a league astern.
But Kelly and Mcknight brought down
the cleaver and an iron bar, and pro-
ceeded to burst it open, the rest of
us crowding about, too cold and ex-
cited to keep still, but very confident
the treasure awaited us within. My
own heart beat tiercely with anticipa-
ton, and l heard De Nova swearing
in French, quite unable to control him

never yield; but at last Johnson man

fairly tore the wood asunder. Through

there burst a torrent Of icy water into

FRENCH AND ENGLISH WOMEN
System Of Providing a "Dot" Makes
for the independence of the
Former.

Though there is far less suffrage
propaganda in France, the superior
position of the French woman has
often been noted. If the husband
keeps a shop, she keeps it, too; there
is no question of her capacity for
BUSINESS, nor is her share in the joint
business regarded as interference"
with rare exceptions it is almost inn
possible to imagine the English wom-

says London Truth. The lowered girl
goes to her husband with a certain
solid backlng-which proves it's value
In times of stress and illness-and is
not only willing but prepared to work.
The average English woman, on the
other hand, will be independent, but
she is also romantic. And romance

business or professional man cannot
really afford the luxury of a house

he gets from her. Her value to him is
one of "estime,' in a day it may be
reduced to nil. The independence she
hoped to increase by marrying de-
ponds entirely on her kindness or
forbearance.
