inflicted on the Yankees and their
followers, they judge that Sandino's
men were using both machine guns
and hand grenades,
The marine officer, Smith, was
struck both by a hand grenade on
the head and by a bullet. The
wounded were brought by mule-back
to Apali, where U. S. imperialists
have a air-field, and from there by
plane to Managua.
The fact that no one can tell now
where the U. S. marine corps be-
gins and the jo-called national
guard" of Nicaragua ends, is shown
by the fact that the mercenary
force attacked was commanded by
Lieutenant Chester A. Davis, al
though the detachment was sup
posed to be a part of the "Nicara-
guam national guard"
Davis was once a captain in the
u. S. Army and held a commission
as lieutenant-colonel during the ir1-
perialist war. He resigned several
years ago, but re-enlisted in the
Marine Corps about year ago for
service in Nicaragua, and was al
most at once given commission by

Nicaragua as lieutenant in its ma
tional guard"
GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Jan. Is.
General Julio C. Rivas, from Sam

evidence that the losses suffered by
the U. S. marines in Nicaragua have
been concealed by the U. S. govern
ment.

theories that he was killed either
in love feud, or that Tina Modotti,
the Italian art photographer who was
at Mella's side when the fatal shots
were fired, is an international fas-
cist spy who lured Mella to his
doom.
Tina Modotti is being defended
by Jose Maria Lozano, leading
criminal lawyer of Mexico City.
Though the conservative Lozano
was a member of the Huerta cab
met and has defended catholics, he
has accused the Mexican police of
throwing up smoke screen in order
to protect the Cuban assassins. The
police are trying to establish that
the revolver which killed Mella was
owned by Tina Modotti.
The international Labor Defense
of Mexico is defending Tina. Miguel
Mendizabal, head Of the I. L. D., has
warned the police not to frame up
another Sacco-Vanzetti case with
Tina as the victim.
It is freely rumored in Mexico
City that the Cuban ambassador has
bought off the chief Of the Mexican
secret service in order to protect
the agents of Machado who killed

Sales of Hardware
 Reach Holiday Peak

New York, Dec. 24.-The holiday demand for hardware reached it's peak during the past week, Hard ware Age will say tomorrow in it's weekly market summary. Jobbers Tn many of the principal mark cts were forced to work night and day to fill the avalanche of rush orders for holiday merchandise. Whole salers in the middle west have re- ported that their holiday sales to- tals have been the largest in history Other sections advise that Christ mas trade is about on parity with last year
 As preparations for inventory get underway, the opinion is fairly gen. eral that prospects are bright for 1880. The only unfavorable factors, which appear to be affecting the re- tail hard dWare trade, is the inclement weather prevailing, at present. which has retarded Christmas shopping to some extent, and the tightness of money has had a tendency to cur tail collections. The credit situa- tion with the jchbers. however. is considered satisfactory.
 Recent price ltv visions have been Of minor character. The changes made were mainly in the nature of general adjustments.
