trada'S Terms and Orders a
Decisive Blow.

MANAGUA NICARAGUA, Jan
2O.-President Madriz announced TO-
day that General Estradais reply had
served to end abruptly the peace ne
eotiations and that achievements
had been ordered TO the front with
the purpose of striking a decisive
blow at the insurgent army.
General Estrada's reply was to the
presidents message. inviting the In
surgent leader to send peace COM
missioners TO meet repre-. eHtatives OF
the government at GTeytown- Inc
commission. which was signed by Is
trada and General Chamorro. stated
that they would accept Greytown as
a meeting place for peace commits
sioners provided Madriz would Tecog-
niZe the r. vOlutionists as constituting
a provisional government.
President Madriz declared that the
insurgents terms were pTeposterous
and their acceptance by him would
be tantamount TO eliminating his
own government.
This means an Cpen break in the
negotiations for peace and the ye-
sumption cf military activity. I re-
gret deeply that this is so, as / am
sincerely DESTROYS of effecting re-
Cancellation Of all factions. Appar-
emily. this Is impossible without blood
sheed and orders have been issued TO
send more troops to the 'front.' said
President Madriz.
An OF cur energies will he directed
toward administering swift and de-
cisiye blow. II will be better TO have
one severe battle than an endless
season Of inconclEsivs skirmishes. The
government troops are in fine mett!e
and not srprehensive OF the result
Of the >O7fiict."

Old Dominion Steamer Arrives
With Blaze in Hold,
SECOND TIME IN ONE WEEK

Origin Of Fire Mystery.

For the second time within seven
days, fire was discovered in the cargo
of the Old Dominion steamer Hamli-
ton in Hampton Roads yesterday
morning while the vessel was inward
bound from .New York for Norfolk
and Newport News. and, before IL
finally was extinguished, the ship ana
the cargo had been damaged to the
extent of about $4,000. The origin
of the fire is "a mystery.
The first fire on the Hamilton broke
cut last Friday morning when the
vessel was passing Old Point on her
way from New York to Norfolk.
Only a few days before that, fire also
broke out in the hold of the steam
er Princess Anne, of the same line
while she was bound from New York
10 Norfolk and this port The origin
of all OF the fires are a mystery and
their occurance so closely together
and while the vessels were inward
bound from New York have led some
Of the officials of the line, as we'll
as others, to believe that some per-
son or persons is responsible for
them. However, no proof of this can
be obtained and the officials are not
disposed to a discussion of such con-
tingency for the present, at least.
The flames on the Hamilton were
discovered in cargo hold No. 2, near
the keel of the vessel, when the liner
was passing Old Point. The crew
was Immediately called to quarters,
the hatch battened down and steam
admitted into the hold. The vessel
carried many passengers, but there
was no excitement among them.
After the ship arrived at Norfolk,
the fire department there was sSm
moned, but was not in service, the
flames being fought with steam for
twelve hours before the fire fighters
were ordered to quit work.
All of the cargo in the hold was
consigned to Newport News and much
of it has been ruined. The Hamil-
ton is expected to arrive here TINS
morning.
Ship Being Flooded.
NORFOLK. VA, Jan. 2l.-Early
this morning the fire department, al
ter it was announced that the blaze
in the Hamilton had been extinguish
ed, began flooding the ship. This VIII
mean a great increase in damage 10
the vessel and loss to the cargo.

THE CHICAGO, MARKET.

CHICAGO. Oct. 6.-With wheat ship
ments from Argentine reaching $4,000
bushels this week against only 72,000
bushels year ago, the scare about a
scarcity from that country subsided to a
marked extent today. Dispatches from
there referred to dryness and to fears of
frosts and ocusts, and were sufficient
to cause some scattered commission
buying, but leading spectators soon
took the selling side. acting on asser-
tions of some correspondents that, al
though the situation was threatening,
no actual damage had been done. The
opening was unchanged to A@9s higher,
with December at 9Sa4 to 80, a gain of a
shade to A@%. In later trading there
was decline of 9SA@%.
Corn was poorly supported. 1t looked
as though the short interest had been
largely eliminated. December started
A@A to h@2s down at 50M to 50A and
fell to 40MA.
The oats pit seemed bare of buyers.
December opened rs to Il off at 93b TO
S3h, and dropped to 32%@A :
Shorts were active purchasers of
nearby deliveries of hog products, and
made the market firm. First sales were
21s to 71s higher, with the January OPP
ton at 1775 for pork, 1910 for lard and
9.45 to 9.47Is for ribs.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Oct 6-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of 8
points on October, and of 15W21 points
on later months on a rush of COW
ering by recent sellers and fresh buy
ing inspired by reports of very heavy
rainfall in Gulf and central sections
Of the belt, accompanied by drop in
temperatures. The trade was abso-
lutely unprepared for this showing,
which caused a sharp advance in Liver
pool before the local opening, and at
the start here business was a sensa-
tionally active. There was heavy real
izing at the advance. however. and
later fluctuations were shade off from
the best.
Only slight reaction followed the ini-
tial advance, and later in the morning
fresh buying Cor long account was ap-
parently inspired by Liverpool cables
stating that the labor troubles in Lam
cashire had been settled and that work
would be resumed on Monday. Prices
readily recovered the early setback in
consequence, and the market at midday
was firm at net advance of 1902
points.
