Washington.

Stad- den. the consul here for the titular gov ernment of Nicaragua.
 A report was received by Staden from Madrlz of the routing at Cotalpa after nine hours fighting. of 800 in- surgents and the capture of many pris- oners
 Staden's statement concludes with the observation that 'if the state de- partment will diligently observe the in ternational obligations due to a friend ly state, the insurrection will soon be repressed with due care for the pres ervation of American lives and prop erty'
 He says further: "All the official acts of Madriz since he assumed office in December have stamped the lie up- on the evil reports issuing from in- surgent sources, that he is not sym pathetic with the United States and American interests in Nicaragua"

.ON 4 CERTAIN TRAIL
 Of DR. CRIPPEN
BELIEVED TO BE ON STEAMER
 SARDINIAN.
A Scotland Yard Inspector On An
 other Steamer in Pursuit.

London, July 23.-The belief is held at Scotland Yard that Dr Crippen and Miss Leneve are aboard the Sar- dinian. which sailed from Harve on July 18th. It is variously stated in newspapers that Inspector Drew has sailed from Canada on the Laurentic, the Car0nia. and the Baltic, but the police refuse to divulge which is car rying the inspector as a passenger.
 According to a circumstantial story from Havre two hours before the de- parture of the Sardinian. two passen- gers registered as Rev. Robinson and son boarded the vessel. The former was attired in clerical garb and wore spectacles. He had a short, strag- gling and apparently new-grown beard. but no moustache. The most notoble feature was the mans pro- jecting eyebrows. He engaged a sec ond class cabin
 No suspicion was attached to the couple until the steward noticed that one of Robinson's eyebrows was de- tached slightly from his forehead. Further watching convinced him that the son was a girl. The captain sent a wireless message to the French po- lice giving a description. and his opinion that the couple were really Crippen and Miss Leneve.
 The French police communicated with the British authorities. It is the opinion that Crippen and his com panion after fleeing from London sep arated in the south of France and re- joined at Marseilles, travelling togeth- ed to HaVre.
