THOUSANDS IN DANGER OF STARVING

Chamorre failed to time his attack
before the arrival OF reinforcements
despatched to the aid Of the govern
ment forces from Manugua. The op-
posing armies today are about equal
in size More than 1000 men are
under arms on each side.
Following the defeat Of the gov
ernment forces in Sundays engage
ments, Vasquez fell back to a level
plateau, where the engagement today
Is taking place. The battle ground
is but three days march from Man
aqua, and should the rebels be tri-
umphant is is believed certain that
Estrada will hurry his men to the
city.
Reports from Managua today say
that the people of the capital are as
equally divided between Madriz and
Estrada as they are between Zelaya
and Estrada. The provisional presi-
dent, however, has gained many sup
porters from the outlying districts
during the last week.
Strife has broken out again in the
capital and daily scenes bordering
upon mob violence are enacted in
the streets. The authorities have
been compelled to resort again to
sternly repressive measures to pre-
serve the DeaCe and The tails are
filled with prisoners
The people of the city have not
yet given up hope of American in
reference. Sympathizers with the
revolution believe that a victory by
the insurgents in the battle being
fought today may have weight with
the American government looking to-
ward a recognitio nof the provisional
which has been sought
by Estrada.

This district has been badly under

Of a subway hall has fallen, carry

Extremely critical conditions
threatening life and the utter de-
struction of property prevail in Bel

The public works building caught
fire today and the fremen stood

The German embassy is flooded and

The officers have issued orders
against the building of fires in the

BITTER COLD
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. I

UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE.
Paris, Jan. 27.-The heating and
lighting plants of the Dieu and the
Boucicault hospitals were destroyed
when the waters entered the base
ments tonight, and the surgeons of
the two institutions performed oper-
atiOns by lamp light.
The bitter colo was overcome only
by burning cotton wadding saturated
in alcohol, in metal buckets in the
operating rooms.
At Ivry Home for the aged, it was
announced tonight that only enough
supplies were on hand to provide
food for the 1000 inmates upon the
lightest possible rations.
The inmates of the home cannot
be removed on account of the swift
current of water that is sweeping
around the home like a mountain tor
rent.
The officials of the home fear that
many of the feeble old people will
die from lack of proper food and
warmth, unless some means of pro-
viding aid for the institution is
found. And that seems unlikely at
present.
The doctors in the hospitals and
the keepers in the various homes are
doing heroic work. Hundreds of
them have not taken off their clothes
since Sunday.

Attacking Evidence.

Col. Worthington, even before the
close of Heney's case, has begun his
effort to tear holes in the net of cir
cumstances which Heney has been
weaving about the defendant during
the past two weeks of testimony. Yes
terday afternoon during the cross
examination of McVean, Col. Worth
ington attempted to remove the
force of tine witnesses direct testi-
mony, which was in part to the ef-
feet that Hermann had at once taken
up the Blue Mountain case and
made the temporary Withdrawals as
soon as he had received the two let
ters from F. P. Mays in May, 1902,
urging that such action be taken by
the land office. McVean had testi-
fed that he had those letters from
Mays before him when he wrote the
order of withdrawal. On cross-ex-
animation Col. Worthington drew
from the witness that he had or
dered the withdrawal beforehand
This morning Col. Worthingtou
followed the same tactics while Col.
A. R. Green, former chief of the for
estry division was on the stand and
tried to show that all letters which
came to the land office from senator's
and representative in congress were
marked special an given the right of
way by the different divisions of the
office.
Marked Letter Special.
This was to combat the contention
Of Heney, founded on testimony in
dicted by him through the different
stages of the trial, that the fact that
Hermann marked the letters OF
to Hermann concerning the
Blue Mountain case "spl' meant
hat he had done so because of his
agreement with Mays and because
le was in the conspiracy to push the
Blue Mountain reserve case through
he land office to final creation.
No one has much idea how long
t will require to put in the case of
he defense. The documents which
lave been brought into court by
hermann and his attorneys fill
