Or. Forbes Winslow Declares There
viii Be More insane Than Sane
in 300 Years.

London.-There will be more luna
tics in the world than sane people
three hundred years hence, was the
prophecy DR. Forbes Winslow made.
This prophecy is based upon the pres
ent rate of the growth of lunacy as
revealed by recent returns.
Doctor Winslow expressed strong
disagreement with the statement
made at the Eugenics congress by
Doctor Mott to the effect that increase
in lunacy was more apparent than
real, and told a press representative
that in making such a statement Doc
tor Mott apparently referred to Lon
don only. DR.. Forbes Winslow said
that from his knowledge of the prog
ress of lunacy in all parts Of the
world he had come to the conclusion
that I'VE are rapidly approaching a
mad world" He added: In every
part of the world civilization is ad-
vancing, and so insanity is also bound
to advance There were 36,762 regis
tered lunatics in 1859, but $4,000 at
the present day. That showed the
alarming increase"
If Doctor Motifs theory is accepted,
we shall wake up when it is too late
to prevent a further increase. What

MENA CAPTURED
REBELLION ENDS
NiCaraguan Rebel Leader to Be
Sent to Panama.
U. S. FORCES STILL CONTROL.
Not Likely That General Zeiedon
Will Continue To Hold Out,
Now That Mena Has
Surrendered.

Washington.-Gen Mena, leader
OF the Nicaraguan revolutionists, is to
be sent TO Panama, under guard OF
American sailors and marines. Ameri-
can Consul Weitzel reported to the
State Department that Rear Admiral
Switzerland has accepted the surren-
der of Mena and roo followers at mid
night, September "a. His capture is
taken 10 indicate the collapse of the
revolution, and his removal 10 Pan
anna probably means exile.
Officials here believed General Mena
requested that he be permitted to sur
render TO Admiral Switzerland, for
fear of summary action at the hands
of the Nicaraguan federals, and the
Admiral doubtless thought it advis-
able to get the rebel leader out OF the
country as soon as possible.
Granada is now completely under
control of United States forces. Con
ditions are reported pitiful in the ex-
IRENE The inhabitants face famine
in consequence of their long isolation.
Red Cross provisions have been dis
tributed with the greatest haste.
1t is not thought that General Zele-
don and his forces will attempt to
hold out, now that the head of the
revolution has given up. Little i'm
portance is attached here TO the an
nouncement by Juan Irias, former fol
lower of Zelaya, of his intention 10
succeed General Mena. Irias made
known his ambition before leaving
San Jose, Costa RIGA, several days
ago. Nothing since has been heard
of his whereabouts.
The disposition of Mena and his
force will depend upon the terms
made by him with Admiral Souther-
land. BY his disregard of all of the
rules of civilized warfare, and especi-
ally his deliberate breach of promise
to American Minister WeitZel at an
early stage of the rebellion here has
placed himself outside the pale of the
law, and officials declare that it would
be entirely proper and within pre-
cedent to turn Mena over to the Mica
raguan government.
But if Admiral Switzerland has &C
copied the surrender with a pledge for
protection, that promise will be re-
spected by the State Department, even
if its redemption involves the trans
portation of the rebels to Panama.
