mistaken order, ordered a retreat.
Four Nicaraguan insurgents performed
a brilliant exploit in saving Conrad's
GIN after their commander had stag
gered to the rear.
The retreat to Moogan, ten miles dis
tant, was conducted in perfect order,
the enemy pursuing. The loss to the
government troops is not known here,
but 1t cannot be denied that it was
considerable.
-Four of Gordon's American were the
last to leave the position of attack.
Had Gen. Zeledon, with his four guns
and 200 men arrived, Mena undoubted-
ly would have taken the aggressive;
but Zeledon being day late, Mena at

A BASE OF SUPPLIES.
The capture of Matagalpa is of great
advantage to the PROFESSIONALS, who
have thus been afforded a splendid
base of supplies and also reinforce
ments, as MatalgaIpa and Jinotega are
strong conservative departments. From
the vicinity of Matagalpa Gen. Cha
MORO can secure water communica-
ton with Cape GTacias, on the At
lantic, by way of the river Coco. The
Americans, who own extensive coffee
plantations in these departments, have
built an automobile road to Lake
Managua. However, the departments
are very mountainous and the defense
correspondingly easy. The attack
upon the government troops in the
mountains will be perilous.
The retreat of Gen. Menas men af-
forded a weird sight as the long single

Twelve of the wounded, wrapped in
blankets, were carried in hammocks
slung from poles resting upon the
shoulders of their comrades. AT Yalu
the wounds were crudely dressed by
the light of single candle. From 8
o'clock in the evening until in the
morning the wounded lay upon the
ground. At the latter hour the moon
shone through the clouds and under
its light the retreat to Moogan was re-
sumed.

The fail OF BlandOn was a great mis-

just received and read orders from
Gen. Mena instructing him to hold the
hills when the enemy's nearest Maxim,
having been moved farther to the left,

mistake and, gauoping to the front OF
the moving column, ordered it back to
its original position. which it was in
structed to hold at any cost The
time lost was fatal. Those who reach
ed their former positions found the
enemy with two Maxim guns at dis

cover and pouring a murderous fire

assume.
Col. Conrad declared his Maxim
gun upon the nearest enemy while re-
ceiving the cross fire of the govern

wounded. Conrad was compelled 70

Chinese slave girls ceased but as soon
as he returned east the smuggling
