BLOODY BATTLES Both the Government and the Insurgents Claim the Victory WAS PITCHED BATTLE And Wan Stubbornly Fought by the Opposing Armies, With Heavy Fatalities on Both Sides, There Being Much Hand-to-Hand Fighting With Maehets and Swords. A dispatch from Managua, Nicaraugua, says another victory over the hno Itnnn nnnniinp?ifl I by Gen. Toledo, the Nlcaraguan Minister of War'. The announcement was based on an official despatch re celved from Gen. Rivas, in command of the Government forces, who engaged the revolutionists under Gen. Chamorro at Tisma, which is twelve miles from Masua. General Toledo /also made known the fact that the losses on both sldeB had been very heavy, and that the battle had lasted seven h'ours, resulting in the bloodies, fighting of the war. The revolutionists wore compelled to abandon their positions. The Government asserts that the enemy were under the personal command of Ghambrro, and admits that the engagement was fought with varying fortune until late In the afternoon, when the forces under G?*n Lara, a Government commander, were in a disordered condition. A request was then sent out for reinforcements, and these, arriving an hour later, turned the tide of battle. The dispatch reads: "The battle began at 8 a. m., February 22, Lara attacking the enemy when they occupying Tisma. Musis, of the provisional forces, wl'.h two Maxims, inflicted serious losses, and the advantage was with him uuli! 3 p. m., when Chavarrta, and later VoUiw nnH Hi..., ,1 1 ~ ,1,, muvo auu vuvu uauiua, #JCIUU\'ii, Vasquez and Aguilar arrived with reinforcements from three sides. Th? 1 firing ceased at 6:30, the revolutionists retiring in the direction of Tlpltapa. "The battle was the bloodiest yet, there being much hand-to-hand fighting with machetes. Lara's men charged Alasis's Maxims, capturing one of them. "The lessees are estimated at 4 00 killed or wounded. A detatchment of Government troops were taken prisoners, but later their rescue was effocted. Chamorro succeeded in reorganizing his forces and rushed the v aches occupied by Gen. Ramirez at three o'clock Wednesday morning at Tipitupa. The light lasted four hours, when the Government troops dislodged the insurgents who were decimated by a galling fire. They abandoned dead and wounded, but succeded in making their way through, in the direction of Satillo, their object being edidently to efTect a junction with Mena." Insurgents Claim Victory. A dispatch from Washington says complete denial of the report of a Government victory in Nlcarauga is given out in the shape of dispatches from Gen. Kstrada, commanding the revolutionists, and addressed to Sen or Salvotore Castrillo, the representative of the Provisional Government of the Central American State. The dispatches announce an overwhelming victory, after a battle lasting for three days, in which two of the generals of the government side were killed. A significant feature of the cableCPi?n m *?? 1? I 1-v ~ 4-,n * " p..nuiku ot-iiur ^.usiriiio lurn'U ov?r. after translation, to the Associated Press, was found In the statement that Gen. Chaniorro Is within striking distance of the capital, and in the opinion of Central American diplomats, practically holds its fate in his hands. The cablegram, as translated, follows: "Following three days of flerco fighting Gens. Mena and Zeledon absolutely destroyed the army of Madriz in Chontales, which was under the command of Gens. Vasquez, Godoy. Mata and Gonzales. The two latter were killed. One hundred of the enemy were killed, and 200 wounded. We scored n complete victory. We know that Chamorro is in the immediate vicinity of Managua."' Sixty Persons Poisoned. Sixty residents of Delaware, N.

Following the wounding of thr'e white men. the formation of a mob and an attack on the negro section of Eldrado, Arkansas. Saturday night is under control of the military and what threatened to develop into a serious racial clash has been suppressed for the time being at least. The disorder began in the early af ternoon when a white man was crowded from the sidewalk by a negro. Bystanders took a hand ai d the negro, drawing a knife, made u lunge at one of his adversaries. No one was injured, however, and the negro escaped. Early Saturday night r poss? of citizens started a search for the negro and when they entered a restaurant the Invaders were greeted with a fusillade of revolver shots Three of the party, Oscar Reynolds. Edward Reynolds, and Roscoe Montgomery, were wounded, the last named probably seriously. The mob quickly formed and had begun the destruction of the negio cabins and property when Governor Donaghey was appealed to and the local military company was ordered ; out. The rioting was then shortlived, the crowds dispereing at the approach of the soldiers. i i KISSING IS RISKY. Hut It Is a l'oor Fellow Who Won't Take a Chance. A dispatch from Milwaukee to the ] New York World says kissing may j be an all-devouring pestilence, but it , has found one defender, and that one j defender is in the ranks of the most ; advanced scientists, being Dr. M. P. j Ravenel, the head of the State society, which is conducting the war against tuberculosis. Dr. Ravenel is a member of the faculty of toe ] University of Wisconsin and was the leader in the organization of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis Society. "Kissing is risky, but it is a poor sort of a fellow who will not take some chances," he said In a lecture* ^ before a Milwaukee audience. TWO HOLD ROBBERS. ?

Quite aptly suggestive of the feel- < logs of twenty eight alleged tigers Wednesday night in the greatest i raid of such a character in the history of Danville, Ky., was the fact that their vehicle was an old hearse i which had been made to do duty as a < patrol wagon.

I It May Be Answered in the Aflirniative if We Consult Only the Evidences of Nature. Long ago in the very earliest dawtr of history, a man sore oppressed and visited with great abiction ask- r ea: "If a man die, will he live again?" The question has been asked by every human being, who has existed since that time, or before, if a man die, shall he live again? . No other question is of such ab- ^ sorbing interest to the human race; r every individual of the race has ( asked it of himself?and of himself he has not been able to clearly and satisfactorily answer It. The bible, of course, teaches that man shall live after he has thrown off the cumberson thrall of the flesh shall exist throughout endless age throughout an inconceivable period, eternity. With all due reverence, be it rr.i-i, even that great book does nit leave the mind entirely satisfied wi.h the proof, for the question qu del is taken from sne of its marvjious passages. Probably no man lives that does not hope that after he has accomplished his existence here, after he has accomplished the full number of his days, he will be alloted anode'sxistence where the errors and disappointments of life may all no corrected and where happiness will be his portion. But hope, of itself, is not pro if that after a man dies he will live igaln. Going a lit Lie- further it may be said, truthfully, that there n implanted in the mind of every man in ardent desire for a continued ex istence after death. No one, no matter how many years he may have lived here, no matter how hardly those years have used him, but still clings to life. Clings with all the strength of you'.a to what he must know must be, at ti e 'arthest, a few more days, a few more months or a very few more years. So matter how few, he wants them. He clings to 'ife with all of his rejeding strength, longing for just a little more of life. ^ Out of this tenaqfous hold on this t> life has come that ardent longing, that earnest desire for more life, life " heyoud the confines of the grave, to ' which all men must evntually come. ? Hut does that desire prove that ^ there Is another life after this? (> When our friends depart, we are t left with aching hearts, with voids | :hat time heals but partially, and we cling to the belief that they 8 (luve only gone to some country where eventually, we may join them (t md enjoy their company forever. But, does that belief prove that '.here is another life for them and f 'or us in another sphere? If there is a law in natural thlrgn ^ hat is carried out in spiritual things, nan may obtain his proof that be ^ will live again by observing his own soul his own mind and the things of tature around him. The old, familiar Instance of the ^ limiting of the grain, its decomposition in the earth, its sprouting aud tearing fruit, is still potent as an trgument Miat man will in some fashion appear in a new life aftci o liis life here is ended. The same Creator that planted ?raln and gave it that mys crious a Ihing, called life, which enables k ( to spring into full flower and fruit, x lias not exempted man, the highest 1 form of life, from the law of new r life which he gave to the grain. 11 A wise man has called attention u to the mysterious instinct of bir If which, at the proper season Impels v them to fly to remote regions at l'?r> s approach of seasons, the incleoieii- s ales of which their frame is ait able " to withstand. Without compass, '' without knowleee. following ^r.1^ h command given them they rise to great heights and persue a due line ' until they reach the part of the v world to which instinct, shall we 8 call it, calls them. The unquenchable longing in the heart of every man who has ever 8 lived, for a future life is no more u strange, no more unaccountable than rn* instinct of the birds to find a * more suitable climate for them3elves. 11 And we can readily understand v that He who implanted the life in a the grain and the instinct of flight ? In the bird, has not deceived man ^ when He implanted that longing for a t future and a better life.
