sorts.
Hayes Promises Sensation.
The former inspector is quoted today
as having said to the district attorney:
Let me alone until I'm through with
my police troubles. It's certain that I'll
be broke. Waldo can't do anything else.
but If I'm put on the stand III tell

job instantly. Yes, and it will go farther

nothing to fear from Hayes, and added
that the former inspector would have am
pie opportunity to talk all he wanted to
at his trial. which will be held at police

NICARAGUA TROUBLE
REMAINS UNCHANGED
Insurgent Forces Submit to
American Troops
Seizures.

Advices to the State and Navy Depart
ments today show that no material
change has occurred in the situation in
Nicaragua and that the insurgent forces
are submitting with the best possible
grace to the steps taken by the Ameri-
can forces for opening railroad and tele-
graphic communication from the seaboard
into the interior. So far as heard from,
there has been no serious clash between
the American marines and the insurgents.
The latter recently surrendered small
gunboat to Ensign Comas of the supply
ship Glacier without even a show OF re-
sistance
The vessel will be returned to the
federal forces from which 1t had been
taken by the rebels. 1t is expected that
other property similarly seized by the
insurgents will be restored to the gov
ernment by direction of the American
commanders.
American Commander Confident.
The flagship California returned to
Corinto yesterday from Panama with a
regiment of $50 marines dispatched from
Philadelphia on the transport Prairie.
This strong force will be used at once
in dispossessing the insurgents from
control Of important stations on the
line of the railroad from Corinto to
Leon. Managua and Granada. and put
ting the road in condition for regular
operation.
Col Pendleton, who has command of
this marine force, probably will make
his headquarters at Managua. There al
ready are about 1000 marines and blue
Jackets in Nicaragua, and Rear Admiral
Switzerland who is in supreme command,
has expressed confidence in his ability to
suppress existing disorders and fully en-
force the policy of the United States gov
ernment. The armored cruiser Colorado
and the cruiser Cleveland are en- route to
Corinto with large reinforcements.
The Colorado is due today or tomorrow

stration of war strength ever made by

for the Democratic nomination for
Assessor. Mr.. Martin is well

He received the Democratic nomin-

but went down with the balance of
the ticket, and would like for his
Democratic friends to give him an
other opportunity. If nominated
and elected he would discharge the
duties Of the Office with fidelity and
impartiality and do his best to make
fair and equitable assessment. He
will highly appreciate anything the
Democrats of the county may do for
him In his candidacy.
