ON THE
ANXlOUSS EAT
[uNIrnp pRrss 1nAspp w1nr. ]

Sn Anselmo, Feb. 28.-The fate of
the business of San Anselmo today
rests in the hands of one woman,
Mrs. Caroline L. Osgood, of Oakland.
Unless she decides to renew the lease
on the lands, which expires in May,
the business men occupying struc-
lures on the property must vacate. A
bank, the postoffice, town hall and
the fire house are among the build
ings which stand on the lands owned
by Mrs. Osgood.
She leased the lands for seven
years to Mrs. Needham, who, in turn,
sub-let the property.
The tenants have repeatedly asked
her regarding her intentions when the
lease expires, but she refused to make
definite statement.
The town has population Of 1900.

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.1

New Orleans, La, Feb. 2S.-The
forces of the government, over
whelmed by odds, fighting with make
shift weapons, hungry and dispirited,
are desperately holding Managua,
according to dispatches here today
from the istnmus.
The revolutionary army under
General Chamorro, anticipated early
victory, is reported as closing in on
the Nicaraguan capital. The proximi-
ty of Chamorro's forces to the capi-
tai, as indicated in dispatches is re-
garded as disproving tn eprevious re-
ports that Chamorro was defeated by
the administration troops at the bat
tie of Tipitapa, in which there was
heavy slaughter on both sides.
Messages today confirm details of
the battle of Ell Morrito, in which
General Romero, of the government
army, and 200 men of his command
captured. General Mena, of the in
surgents, is reported to have cap
tured most of the arms of the govern
ment army.
