NAY MEAN WAR ? Fat Americans Captured and Execated by the Nicaragnans. ? ? WO WAR SHIPS ARE SENT rVMidnit Taft Greatly Incensed on Hearing (he News, and I>eclin?t? to Iluve Any Communication With the New Nicnragunn Minister, Who atwt Reached Washington. A Washington dispatch says two American war ships have been ordered to proceed to Nicaraguan waters, nad President Taft has postponed indefinitely his mooting of Isidore ftavera, the new minister from Nicaragua to this country, as tho result of news received hero to the effect that two Americans, Leonard Grace and Loltoy Cannon, captured while Aerving with tho revolutionists' army in Nicaragua, havo been sentenced to death by President Zelaya's orders, and it is believed that BentOnco has already been curried out. Orders have been issued for the cruiser Vioksburg to proceed in all b&ate to Corinto, and the gunboat DcaMoiues will proceed at ouco to Port Llmon to observe events there and report the situation at that point t>y wireless. Tho news as to tho two Americans reached the State department Thursday uiglit from the American Consul at Managua, who stated that their capture hud been followed almost immediately by a death Hen ton ce. A dispatch received Friday at the State department is to tho effect that the men havo undoubtedly been Arruvufnil ITn/?i> fl.li. I e * 1 ~ " ? i- ? UI\V?/U<<.||.

The DeaMoines was also ordered to proceed 10 Fort Limon at top speed for tho flame purposo. These vessels will )?e in constant Qommunicntyon by wireless with tho Stato department. Tho brutality of tho Nicaraugan Government in ordering the execution of these two Americans, who happened to he found in the revolutionists army without trial of any sort, is likely to result in this (lovfjrnmont taking drastic measures to prevent a repetition of it, and President Zelaya will he held to a strict accountability (ft r his action. At the Ntcarnguan legation it was stated that no news of the execution of the two Americans hud been received. Nothing is known at the Stato department of tho antecedents of Leonard Grace, who is reported to have been shot by order of President Zolajra, but the other American, LoRoy Cannon, seems to have had an un usual career in Central America, ftome yoara ago he went to Central America and since then his name has figured prominently in revolutions 'ill those countries. During his career he has been arrested a number of times and tried for heading raids and on several occasions has narcawly escaped a death sentence, it ffc alleged. A dispatch from Panama says passengers arriving there from Nicaragua Thursday report that a reign Of terror exists throughout the portion of that country controlled by President Zelaya. Government troops are rounding up every persons suspected of sympathy with the revolutionists and exocuting them without trial. More than Ave hundred men Mspccted of revolutionary sympathies have been summarily shot and Mill the bloody work continues, ttestdoncos are ransacked by Zelaya's soldiers in search of incriminating letters or evidence, and when resistance is offered the houses are destroyed. Women relatives of revolutionary ajrmpathizers havo been subjected to the most horrible indlgnaties and utrages.

The Augusta Chronicle says In the hoBtly shadows of the City Ome* ry, with the silent tombstones us lanimate witnesses, two young hoys, . J. Proctor and K. Alexin, set upon . W. Cronager, a North Carolina tountaineer Friday night; and, havlg knocked him unconscious, and obbed him of his purse with Its mall store of savings, the two whom von the sacred city of the dead did ot deter from brutal violence, ought to escape arrest by scaling to high brick wall, leaving the stuned man alone beside the graves. The pretext on which the two robers induced the mountaineer, whose rain was befuddled with whiskey, > go with them to the cemetery, takes the subsequent assault even tore brutal, for they begged him ) accompany them that Proctor tight gaze once more "upon the rave of his dear mother who lay ttriod there." Proctor has 110 relavos at all in Augusta. Alexin and Proctor met Cronager iriler in the evening as he was g<>lg 111) McKiltne street toward th? orth Augusta Bridge. They accostI him, invited him to "have a rink," and the one drink became lanv, until Cronager was no longer eenly alive to the unseemliness of le hour, for a visit to the grave of uy relative, however beloved. He greed to accompany thorn. On 'aching the cemetery, after the three a<t wept a few crocodile tears, the vo modern highwaymen knocked ronager down and stole his purse. The watchman at the cemetery, owever, had seen the men enter le cemetery, and was Kiisjdeious of lent, so he sent to police barracks >r assistance, and the officers arived in time to nab one of the athetically grieved highwaymen as e departed hastily from the "grave f his dear mother," and took him > the police station where he was uestioned as to who his partner as.

It has long been known that limo is an essential food for plants of all kinds and that they cannot live when it has been exhausted from the soil. It has also boon known that old worn-out lands are extremely deficient in lime, and that sour, badly-drained lands have their lime is a for uithat is not usable by growing crops. Farmers' Bulletin No. 124, U. 8.
