SITUATION AT MANAGUA
Minister eeitzel, in Dispatch,
Gives Further Details of
BOmbardment.

According to a dispatch from United
States Minister Weitzel. at Managua,
dated August Is, just received at the
State Department, the arrival Of United
States marines in that city momentarily
relieved distressing situation.
Confirming the accounts of heavy bonn
bardment the night Of August 13 and oon-
tinuing until 4:3O am. Of August IA, he
reports that the revolutionary forces
brought up large quantities Of ammuni-
tion from Granada and Masaya. The fact
of their possession Of such an amount
of war material indicates that Gen. Mena
has received strong financial support.
The bombardment on the afternoon of
August IA continued until 5 am. the next
day, but was much weaker than previous
ly. The minister says that the govern
ment troops at La Iona showed remark
able bravery under a heavy and well
directed fire, which, the minister says, was
occasionally deliberately trained upon a
crowded church and upon the hospital in
Managua.
Hundreds of refugees sought safety
in Corinto. AT o'clock August ID
the defeat Of the revolutionists was as
sured, and Gen. Mena'S army Withdrew
toward Masaya and Granada.
Dead Are Unburied.
The minister reports that more than
900 dead are lying unburied in the
fields about the capital
The consul at Corinto reports revolu-
tionary concentration at Leon August

Managua arrived there August IA to

ENGLAND MAY NOT ACCEPT.
Foreign Office Considering Panama
Exposition Invitation.

LONDON. August 19.-The United
States embassy today received a reply
from the British foreign office to Presi-
dent Taft's invitation TO the British gov
ernment to participate in the Panama
Pacific exposition.
The foreign office is disposed to accept
the invitation on principle. but its final
decision in the matter will be Influenced
partly by the possibility of arriving at a
satisfactory settlement with the exposi-
ton authorities in regard to the accom-
mediation TO be provided for British ex-
hibitorS.
No hint is given in the reply in respect
to other possible influences that may af-
feet the British decision. but II is evident
a loophole has been left for British re-
fusal of the invitation on account of pos
sible unfavorable canal legislation.

REFUSE TO TAKE FIELD.

Under Arrest

CHIHUAHUA, Mex, August 19.-vol-
unteers from Mexico City to the number
of 100. under command of Calixto Con-
treras, were prisoners here Saturday
night, in company with their command
ing officers. The men were ordered to
entrain for Mexico City for service in
the south and refused to leave. A
personal order to Contreras from the
commander of the division also was
disregarded The men We're persuaded
to go into barracks, where they were
surrounded by regulars and disarmed.
They probably will be consigned to serv-
ice i'm the regular army.
Railway communication with this city is
interrupted north of Santa Rosalia, cut
ting off traffic with the capital. The rea-
son given is a landslide, but as it is
known that there are several bands OF
rebels in that vicinity it is believed not
improbable that the interruption may be
the result of their work.

ONE GIANT BATTLESH|P
IN APPROPRIATION BILL
House and Senate Conferees
Agree-Provision Made for
Eight Submarines.

complete agreement was reached to-
day by the Senate and House conferees
on the naval appropriation bill. The
agreement provides for the construction
of one giant battleship. instead OF two.
and for the building of eight submarine
torpedo boats. instead Of four.
The compromise on one battleship was
reached in a few minutes after the naval
bill conferees met this morning The
House conferees, headed by Chairman
Padgett of the naval committee were un-
der instructions from the House to vote
for one battleship and the representa-
tives of the Senate consented to this ar
rangement, on condition that provision be
made for eight submarines.
Original Bill Provisions.
AS the naval bill passed the House it
provided for eight submarines and no
battleships. The Senate amended 1t to
authorize two battleships and four sub
marines. The agreement today will be
followed by the immediate passage OF
the naval bill in both houses. All other
points of difference had been adjusted.
The conferees agreed to the proposition
that the contemplated battleship should
not DE O1 lile type, Dul
a vessel of standard size. The question
of armament and armoring was left to
the naval constructors and the Secretary
of the Navy.
World Wide Wireless System.
The bill as agreed upon carries the
original appropriations for colliers and
submarines. 1t also provides for the es-
tablishment of a worldwide wireless
telegraph system, through which the
Navy Department will be enabled to keep
in touch with it's ships in virtually every
part of the globe.
A movement to name the new battle
ship Constitution has been started. To-
day is the centennial of the battle be-
tween the old Constitution and the 4uer-
rere. Under the law the Secretary OF the
Navy would be obliged to christen the
new ship Arizona or New Mexico. but the
Senate and House conferees will be urged
to amend the bill with a provision that
the new ship be named after "Old Iron

His Position Not Known.

In fact. Denman would have been thor

had he made his position clear. but he
disappeared about the time the state
committee met to nominate candidate
for governor. Efforts Of the Taft people
TO get in touch with him failed and per-
sons closest to Denman declared that
they did not know his position as between
the two men. They could not throw any
light on Denman's whereabouts or upon
his political purposes.
Under the circumstances the Taft peo-
pie refused to support Denman and NOM
mated Gen. r. B. Brown who had been

If Denman has thrown any light on his
political connections since the state COM

of it
