A dispatch from Managua, Nicaraugua,
says another victory over the !
revolutionists has beeu announced
by Gen. Toledo, the Nicaraguan Minister
of War. The announcement
was based on an otlicial dispatch received
from Gen. llivas, 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 tho fact that the
losses on both sides had been very
heavy, and that the battle had lasted
seven hours, resulting in the
bloodiest fighting of the war. The
revolutionists were compelled to
abandon their positions.
The Government asserts that the
enemy were under the personal command
of Chamorro, and admits that
the engagement was fought with j
varying fortune until late in the af- ?
<1
w 11011 tlio forms under il'Ol
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., Feb
ruary 22, Lara attacking the enemy ?
when they occupying Tisma. Masis, I
of the provisional forces, wF.U two 1
Maxims, inflicted serious losses, and c
the advantage was with him until 3 a
p. m., when Chavarria, and later 1
Valdes and then Garrida, Zelodon. c
Vasquez and Aguilar arrived with re- f
lnforcements from three sides. Tin i
firing ceased at 6:30, the revolu- 1
tionists retiring in the direction of 1
Tipitapa. ^
"The bottle was the bloodiest yet,
there being much hand-to-hand s
fighting with machetes. Lara's men s
charged Masis's Maxims, capturing 1
one of them.
"The lossess are estimated at 4 00
killed or wounded. A detatehment
of Government troops were taken ,
prisoners, but later their rescue was
effected. Chamorro succeeded in reorganizing
his forces and rushed the
trenches occupied by Gen. Ramirez
at three o'clock Wednesday morning ;
at Tipitapa. The fight lasted four '
hours, when the Government troops

decimated by a galling fire. They
abandoned dead and wounded, but
Bucceded in making their way
through, in the direction of Satillo, (
their object being edidently to effect
a junction with Mena."
Insurgents Claim Victory.
A dispatch from Washington says
complete denial of the report of i
Government victory in Nicarauga is '
given out in the shape of dispatches
from Gen. hjstrada, commanding the
revolutionists, and addressed to Sen
or Salvotore Castrillo, the represen- '
tative 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 j
killed. (
A significant feature of the cable- (
gram, which Senor Castrillo turned
over, after translation, to the Assoelated
Press, was found in the state
ment that Gen. Chamorro is within
Btriking 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 Madrid
in Chontales, which was under
the command of Gens. Vasquez, Godoy,
Mata and Gonzales. The two
latter were killed. One hundred of
the enemy wore killed, and 200
wounded. We scored a complete victory.
We know that Chamorro is in
tho immediate vicinity of Managua.*'
Sixty Persons Poisoned.
Sixty residents of Delaware, N. J.
who attended a Washington birthday
festival in the Preahvtort.m
church three days ago have developed
ptomaine poisoning. Six of them
are seriously ill. Physicians say
that tainted ice cream was the cause
of their sickness. *

Stating that she had been robbed
3f jewelry valued at $2,500 and
$3,000 in cash, "through hypnotic
ntluence," Miss Minnie Lyons of New
Orleans has appealed to the police
to recover the property.
According to Miss Lyons, a mysteries
"Mine. Julian," who posed as
i clairvoyant, induced her to hand
jver a number of valuable diamonds
and all of her ready money by the
exercise of some strange power.
This occurred on Wednesday aftm

HAULED WHISKEY IN HEAKSE.
Hlind Tickers Get Dig and Little
Sentences in Court.
Quite aptly suggestive of the feelings
of twenty eight alleged tigers
Wednesday night in the greatest
raid of such a character in the history
of Danville, Ky., was the fact
that their vehicle was an old hearse
which had been made to do duty as a
patrol wagon. Nor did the prospect
become more cheerful when eight of
them were Friday sentenced to terms
in the work house, ranging from ten
months to four and a half years.
Danville is the original dry town of
Kentucky, having been without saloons
for forty years. *
Threw Man to Death.
At Peru, Ind., Win. F. Hunt, a
brakeman, was arrested Friday on a
charge of manslaughter. It is alleged
that on a Lake Shore freight
train, Feb. 10, he threw J. L. Larniski
from tho train, causing his
loath. William Kapps of Atlanta,
CJa., was thrown from the train at
he same time and seriously injured.
The latter it now recovering in a
Chicago hospital. *
WOMAN BADLY FOOLED
SIIK WAS INDUCED TO GIVE TWO
MEN IIEH MONEY.
They Wore Arrested and the Money
Was Found With Other Valuables
in Their Grip.
A cape of what is believed to have
been hypnotic influence was revealed
at llristol, Ya., when John Fosgate,
an alleged liynoptist and clairvoyant,
30 years old, and William Lewis,
called a confederate, were arrested
upon complaint of Mrs, Nannie Lindsay,
widow of Stuart Lindsay, who
was clerk of tlie United States court
at Abington, Va., for many years.
Mrs. Lindsay, being advised that
Fosgate and his confederate were
about to leave tlie city, made known
to the police that she had mortgaged
real estate in the city for $0,000,
which amount she turned over In
cash to Fosgate, with a gold watch,
a diamond ring and other jewelry.
Fosgate was arrested early Wednesday
and Lewis, who left the city in
the early morning, carrying cash and
jewels, was captured at a farmhouse
near Vance, Tenn, six miles south
of the city.
Policeman Samuel Odell, learning
from the conductor of the early train
by telephoning to Johnson City that
Lewis had left the train at Vance,
hurried there. Covering Lewis with
a revolver, Odell took his grip and
found that it contained a tin box
which had in it $3,900 In currency
and $3,500 in gold coins of $5, $10 i
and $3 0 denominations. In addition i
to the money the box contained two |
gold watches and pins and rings
with diamonds, valued at probably
$1,500.
Fosgate advertised as tho "most j
rcnounod professor of hypnotic!
science in the country," and his office
was daily crowded with society
men and women. The case will he
investigated by the police court, and
Mrs. Lindsay, who is reticent, is expected
to tell her story of the affair.

If Carl Leeps of Hamburg can find
a proper place in the neighborhood
of New York a proper place for a
balloon landing he intends to sail
in his big dirigble from Germany
in April. With eight motors generating
1,000 horsepower, he will make
the trip in three days, he says. He
plans to have nine passengers with
him, although bis airship would easily
carry ten times as many. Leeps
did not bring his airship with him.
He merely came to select a landing
place and will return shortly. He
declares that airships will shortlj
take place of all the trans-Atlantic
steamships as passenger carriers, although
he thinks that some of the
big liners may be kept on duty for
the purpose of transporting freight.

SHALL WE LIVE AGAIN
EVKllY II I'M AN HKIXG HAS ASK1CI>
TINS Ql'ESTIOX.
I
It May He Answered in the AMlrmative
it' We Consult Only the Kvidenres
of Nature.
Long ago in the very earliest dawn
of history, a man sore oppressed
and visited with great abiction ask- r
od:
"If a man die, will he live again?" 1
The question has been asked by j
every human being, who has existed
since that time, or before, if a man -1
die, shall he live again? ..
No other question is of such ah- "
sorbing interest to the human race; n
every individual of the race has (
asked it of himseir?and of himself
he lias not been able to clearly and
satisfactorily answer it.
The bible, of course, teaches that
man shall live after lie has thrown
off tiie cumberson thrall of the
ftesh shall exist throughout endless
age throughout an inconceivable period,
eternity.
With all due reverence, be it rr.ii,
even that great book does nn leave
the mind entirely satisfied with thr.
proof, for the question quite i is
taken from one of its niarvjious passages.
Probably no man lives that does
not hope that after he lias accomplished
his existence here, after he
lias accomplished the full number of
his days, lie will be alloted another
existence where tin* errors and disappointments
of life may all ne corrected
and where happiness will be
his portion.
Put hope, of itself, is not pro if
that after a man dies he will live
again.
Going a little further it may lie
said, truthfully, that there 11 implanted
in the mind of every man
an ardent desire for a continued ex
istence after death.
No one, 110 matter how many years
he may have lived here, 110 matter
how hardly those years have used
him, but still clings to life. Clings
with all the strength of you:J to
what lie must know must lie, at tie
farthest, a few more days, a few more
months or a very few more years. _
No matter how few, he wants them.
Ho clings to life with all of hfs receding
strength, lonirintr for Inst n
little more of life. (j
Out of this tenacious hold on this
life has come that ardent longing,
that earnest desire for more life, life *
beyond the confines of the grave, to '
which all men must evntually come.
Hut does that desire prove that J"
there is another life after this? '
When our friends depart, we are .,
left with aching hearts, with voids .
that time heals but partially, and
we cling to the belief that they
have only gone to some country ,
where eventually, we may join them ' j
and enjoy their company forever. t
Hut, does that belief prove that
there is another life for them and .
for us in another sphere?
If there is a law in natural thlrgs
that is carried out In spiritual things,
man may obtain his proof that be
will live again by observing his own
soul his own mind and the things or
nature around him.
"The old, familiar instance of the
planting of the grain, its decomposition
in the earth, its sprouting and
bearing fruit, is still potent as an
argument fhat man will in some
fashion appear in a new life aftu
his life here is ended.
The same Creator that planted
grain and gave it that mysterious
tiling, called life, which ena nos ii
to spring into full flower and fruit, ;
has not exempted man, the highest
form of life, from the la.y of new
life which he gave to the grain.
A wise man has called attention
~~i . .. -
iu Lue mysterious instinct of I?ir 1 ?
which, at the proper season impels ^
them to fly to remote regions at the 8'
approach of seasons, the inchmien- s<
cies of which tiieir frame is njt able 11
to withstand. Without compass,
without knowlege, following only the 'c
command given them they rise to
great heights and persue a due line
until they reach tho part of the w
world to which instinct, shall we 85
call it, calls them. 8(
The unquenchable longing In the
heart of every man who has ever 81
lived, for a future life is no more n
strange, no more unaccountable than
tne instinct of the birds to find a
more suitable climate for themselves.
u
And we can readily understand
that Ho who implanted the life in a
the grain and the instinct of iliglu K
in the bird, has not deceived man ^
when He implanted that longing for ai
a future and a better life.
Wherever we may look in nature .
we find evidencies, not that this life
ends all, but that all nature and all f,]

til the entire purpose of the Great r
Oeator shall have been fully accom- ""

Toll's question, if a man die shall
ho live again, may be confidently
answered in the affirmative if we consult
only the evidences of nature
and our own being.
