uprising in this vicinity is new, condi-
tions having previously been reported
to have been quiet. The American

is mu~'l dissatisfaction there, and that
gang roJberies are frequent. Bands OF
rebels are now making trouble in the

No Word Has Been Receiv-

Switzerland.
SOME APPREHENSION,
Nicaraguan Rebels Seize Steamers
of Company Incorporated in the
United States.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Word thai
Rear Admiral Switzerland in com.
mand of the American expedition ir
Nicaragua has taken Grenada and re.
lieved the suffering of foreigners anc
natives in the beleagured Nicaraguar
city, was anxiously awaited by officials
Of the State Department today. Some
apprehension had been felt that lack
of advices from Switzerland indicated
his force of 300 or 400 men which left
Managua to take Gen. Mena's strong,
hold at Grenada, had met with trou-
Bile, but it was pointed out that COM
munication had been difficult to main
tain with Nicaragua all along and
the failure of the Admiral to send
any dispatches to the navy Depart
ment yesterday is not to be taken as
proof that his men have been endan-
gered by Gen. Mena's rebels
S;sS3 ;22'shrdl' eta mht mht mht mht
Switzerland sent word that he did
not intend to advance on Grenada until
he had sufficient force to completely
overawe Mena. Mena, it is believed
here, will withdraw and lay down his
arms Just as soon as he realizes that
he cannot bluff Switzerland off.
Southerland's men are we'll equip
ped with machine guns and navy Off
cials believe that he should have no
difficulty in routing Mena if the latter
should actually risk battle. Mena
has some artillery, but not enough
to cause serious damage to the at
tacking American forces.
Reports that Mena has again re-
sorted to barbarous tactics furnish
additional justification for American
intervention in the republic, and State
Department officials are now confident
that there will be little criticism OF
their vigorous policy of insisting on
the restoration of peace and order by
armed force.
The rebels have seized steamers on
Lake Nicaragua, the property OF a
company incorporated in the United
States, and are using them to bonn
bard San Jorge and other lake towns
in the neigobhrhod of Ribas, according
to the latest dispatches from Amerl-
can Minister Weitzel at Managua.
This dispatch was dated Sept. 10.
Zeledon. rebel leader and co-worker
of General Mena had sent a strong
column from Joinette, to attack the
town of Ribas from the north. Welt
zel's dispatch also adds that the fed
eral leader, General Macis, has re-
ported to President Diaz that his
forces succeeded in repelling the at
tack on Ribas, and that they de-
cisively defeated the rebels both
sides suffering considerable loss.
Up to noon today no dispatches had
been received from Rear Admiral
Switzerland in regard to his pro-
rres toward Granada or in regard to
rumors about battle between rebels
and American Marines.

he had been held up six times during
the past two years, was testified yes
terday afternon by Charles E. Corgah'

fax county. Mr. Corgan was placed
ON the stand by counsel for the city
for the purpose Of showing the need OF
better police protection in that part
of Fairfax county, which the city
wishes to annex. From this counsel

county.

there was insufficient police protection

his home and will open the regular
term of the Nelson county Court on
Monday. At the conclusion of that
Court he will 60 to Amherst county
and then will return to Alexandria

1t is thought that the adjournment

as they will have three wekes addi-
tional time to strengthen their de-
fense.

last witness on the stand Friday af-
ternoon was again called to the stand
when court opened this morning and

of desirable building sites in Alex
andria and of conditions in Rosemont
and parts of Alexandria county, He
said there was only a limited supply
of lots in the city Tor houses to cost

higher priced residences.
Rosemont is policed by special
officer whose salary is paid by the
Rosemont Development Company.

TIE COST OF IT.

In pleas antly worded editorial the
st. Thomas Times assumes because ~e
criticised ito editorial favoring the build
ing Of . fire proof, ornate and comnod-
lous court house at Cavalier that We
were opposed to such building. The
editor Of the Times is entirely wrong in
his conclus ON. We were not criticising
the present estimate Of the cost Of . aew
court house, but we were criti sising the
lying statements Of the Cavalier people
during the campaign as to the probable
cost.
During the campaign for and against
the removal Of the county seat there
were but two main argnrents used on
both Sides. One was the desirability Of
necessity Of removal, the other was the
cost Of removal.
The Pioneer Express made certain
estimates which are, or ought to be,
fresh IN. the remembrance Of the people
Of the county.
We 3ar, ued first, that in view Of the
lessening population Of the county, ia
view Of the increasing facilities in meth:
5ods OF travel, in view Of the many lines
Of telephones, and other sconyeniences
that there was no espaeial need Of chang
ing the location, and thatsany advantages
by removing to . more central point
would be far oxerbalanced BY the ex-
eessive cost. s$5
On the other hand the people who
were trying to; move the court house

that this was about the, right figure

this size. But we argued then, aud we
believe the same at this min ute, that the
time was premature, that we could get
along for several years yet without any
new buildings, and that the cost Of re-

benefits.
