 Bluefields

< New Orleans. July 16.-Mail advices from day. tell of an unsuccessful attack there on the central barracks adjoining the palacio naeional Government housel, by
 an itinerant band of natives led by Cliff
 ford D. Sans. an American. who was
 made a colonel in the Nicaraguan army
 by Gen. Juan Estrada during the revo-
 lution of October, 1909 and W. S. Strange.
 an American. who claimed to be a civil
 engineer, formerly employed by the Tela
 railroad in Honduras, shortly after mid
 night Monday, July 6.
 Two men were mortally hurt. one of
 whom has since died the advices state
 The other lies at the point of death; five
 others were more or less seriously wound-
 ed during the fighting, which lasted some
 thing less than 30 minutes. Sands was
 shot early in the engagement, and his
 loss apparently demoralized his small band
 Sandes was wounded by thefire from machine gun mounted on the gallery of the barracks. Two of his followers car ried him to the American consulate, where his wounds were dressed the fol- lowing morning. Owing to the fact that the wounded man was in a weakened condition, his surrender to the author- ties was deferred until such time as his condition permitted his removal to the hospital.
 The rendezvous of the band was fixed at Petersens hotel. building situated next to the barracks yard on the edge of the lagoon. From midnight on stealthy steps were heard by the lodgers at the hotel. who were bewldered at the sounds but unable to leave their quarters. At exactly 1 a m, the first shot was fired ! and a fusillade followed The hotel build | ing was riddled with bullets Mrs. w. w. Priestly of Kansas City was the only l lady lodger in hotel and narrowly es- caped death

 on Amount

Arguments were made before the board of revenue yesterday In reference to the raising of property tax after the board has passed on the amount of property assessment. Forney Johnston, attorney for Capt. J. V. Allen. contended that the back tax commissioner had the right, under the law, to raise property assess ments at any time after two years had elapsed from the date that the board had passed on the amount of the assessment. Attorreys for the property owners sought to oppose the proposition advanced by MT. Johnston and stated that the back tax commissioner should be required to furnish proof of advancement of property values other than his own testimony and that Of his assistants. The board of revenue took the matter under advise- ment. The cases disposed of were as follows:

I heard the other day the story of the physician with so admirable a skin that all his women patients asked his secret. He told one. who generously told others, that, knowing the remarkable absorbent property of ordinary mercolized wax. he concluded this subssance would make an excellent complexion remover and preserver. Knowing the wax could do no injury. he began using 1t after withered. colorless cuticie was being gradually absorbed and replaced by younger. healthier skin. This was the simple secret of the siiver-haired doc- tor with the boyish face The secret became pubic property. Now women everywhere use mercolixed wax, ap- plying 1t nights like cold cream, wash Ing 1t off mornings-continuing until the complexion Is entirely renovated. An ounce of this wax, procurable at complexion. '9
 Another valuable rejuvenator used by this doctor was wrink1e-remover and preventive in tlae form of face bath

SECRETARY BRYAN IN FORMAL STATEMENT
 ENDORSES SUFFRAGE
econtipued from Page One,

 which is in point here, namely. that mo mans conscience can tell him the right of another mans responsibility for the chids welfare rests primarily upon the parent.
 Why should any mother be denied the usc of the franchise to safeguard the well fare of her child merely because another n other may not view her duty in the same light?
 Politics will not suffer by womans en- trance into it. If the political world has grown more pure in spite of evil infiu- ences that havo operated to debase 1t. 1t will not be polluted by the presence and participation of woman. Neither should we doubt that woman can be trusted with the ballot. She has proven herself equal to every responsibility imposed on hers she will not fail society in this emergency. Let her vote. And may that discernment which has, throughout the ages ever en- abled her to quickly grasp great truths made her the last at the cross and the first at the sepulchre so direct her in the discharge of her political duties as to add new glories to her and through her still further bless society"
