WAR SAID TO BE ENDED.
President Bonilla of Honduras
Fled From the Field.
Sudden 8top In Thaw Trial Wreckers
Derailed Train Gambler Killed
Prosecuting Attorney Search For
Kidnaped Boy Channel Tunnel
Project Dead.
President Manuel Bonilla of Hon
duras has fled from the battlefield
and the Centrnl American war has
practically ended, according to cable
dispatches received In Washington by
the Nlcaraguan minister, Mr. Corea.
The fall of the Hondurnn capital,
Tegucigalpa, is predicted by the Ntc
ar;i yuan secretary of foreign affairs,
Mr. Gamez.
The cablegram from the secretary
of foreign affairs follows:
'"Choluteca taken. Salvadorean and
liondiiran combined armies defeated.
President Bonilla hidden in San Lor
enzo with 200 men. Sent steamers to
cu lit lire them. Tegucigalpa will be
taken tomorrow."
When shown the dispatch announc
ing that President Bonilla had fled
from Honduras by boat, Minister
Corea expressed the opinion that the
fugitive president would go to Salva
dor and recruit his army for a second
attack on Nicaragua unless the United
States and Mexico exercised their
good offices to the extent of insisting
that Salvador and Guatemala main
tain neutrality.
If this is done, Mr. Corea Bays, the
war Is ended; otherwise he is firmly
convinced that it will be only a ques
tion of a short time until hostilities
are again resumed.
The government is without further
ndvlces concerning the capture of
Choluteca, which is expected short
ly. Choluteca Is one of the most
strongly fortified towns of Honduras.
It is on the Choluteca river, about
three miles from the gulf of Fonseca.
Wreckers Derailed Train.-
A committee of the Pennsylvania
railroad which has been investigating
the cause of the derailment of the Chi
cago limited Friday at Stewart, Pa.,
near Pittsburg, after taking testimony
of the train crew and tht crews which
passed the point of dora.nent pre
vious to the accident authorized the
following statement:
"The wreck was caused by some
person or persons removing the bolt
and tleplates joining two rails and
turning one of them inward so as to
throw the train oil the track. The
work was evidently that of one with
knowledge of tracks and signals, as
the 'bond wire' which completes the
electric signal circuit was carefully
kept Intact, thereby causing the sig
nals to show 'safe' Instead of 'dan
ger' as they would have shown had
this contact been broken.
"The tools found near the scene of
the accident were such as are used In
laying track but were not the stand
ard tools used by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company; nor were they the
property of the company. The place
selected for the derailment seems to
have been chosen with a view of
throwing the train off the track and at
the same time guarding, as far as pos
sible, against the loss of life, as the
point where the train ran off the track
Is one of the few on the Pitthsburg di
vision where there is no embankment
over which the train could plunge."
Exports of Dairy and Meat Products.
The total exports of meats, dairy
products and food animals from Unit
ed States last year aggregated $230,
000,000 In value, according to a state
ment by the bureau of statistics of
the department of commerce and la
bor. This represents an increase of
$7G,nO0,0O0 or 45 per cent during the
decade 189G to 190G. More than GO
per cent of the last year's exports
went to the United Kingdom. Even
this large percentage, however, is less
than that of a decade ago, when Great
Britain took over 70 per cent of Amer
ican exports. Of the $250,000,000
worth of meats, dairy products and
food animals passing out of the Unit
ed States last year $40,000,000 was in
live animals, $58,000,000 worth in
lard. $3G,000,000 In bacon, $25,000,000
in fresh beef, $21,000,000 in hnms, $18,
000,000 in oleomargarine, $14,000,000
in pork other than bacon and hams,
$1,500,000 in butter and $2,500,000 in
cheese.
Nurse Girl Tried For Murder.
A murder trial presenting features
of unusual interest was begun at Car
niel, N. Y., on Monday, when Jennie
Burch, a 14-year-old girl was called
upon to answer the charge of pois
oning Wilbur Winship, a 2-year-old
child, whose nurse she was. The girl
lias Indian blood In her veins, her
grandfather, Phllo Burch, being a half
breed Mohawk. She was employed by
Herbert Winship of Patterson, N. Y.,
ns nurse for his Infant and seemed
very fond of the child. Last Septem
ber It is alleged she set Are to her
employer's barn and gave the infant
a pencil sprinkled with atryclmlue.
She tried to commit suicide. The de
fense will be insanity.
Settlement of Fugitive Brewer's Bond.
The board of supervisors of Cayuga
county, New York, last week voted
to accept $0,000 In settlement of the
bond of Herman Bartels, brewer, who
i'.ed pending sentence after being con
victed of attempted arson at Auburn
on April 2!, 1900. Bartels is still in
Canada. His sister- and daughter
guve bonds for $13,000, but the county
was unable to recover on executions.
Proposed Mary Rogers Monument.
The proposal to erect a monument In
the cemetery in Hooalck Falls, N. Y.,
over the grave of Mary Rogers, who
was executed for the murder of her
husband near Bennington, received a
setback when the firm which has the
order for the monument received a let
ter from Rev. F. A. McCramer, head
of the Augustinian order at Hooslck
Falls, which has charge of the ceme
tery. The monument, which was con
tracted for Borne time ago, by persons
whose names have not been disclosed,
was to have cost $P10, and is now
nearly completed. It is a rough-faced
granite shaft, bearing a scroll for the
Inscription. No inscription has been
placed as yet on the scroll.
The letter from Father McCramer
declares explicitly that the monument
will not be received at the cemetery,
and adds:
"You may notify any one interested
that no stone of any kind will mark
the grave of Mary Rogers while her
body Is in our cemetery."
Eugene Sullivan, head of the firm
which is building the monument, said
that he would communicate with the
parties who gave him the order and
await their Instructions regarding the
disposition of the stone. He de
eltned to say from what source the
order for the monument was received.
Gambler Killed Prosecuting Attorney.
Following an attack on an alleged
gambling house at Fort Worth, Tex.,
County Attorney Jefferson D. Mc
Lean was shot and killed and Hamll
P. Scott, a member of the attacking
party, was fatally wounded by Will
iam Thompson, proprietor of the re
sort. Half an hour later Thompson was
surrounded in a lumber yard and cap
tured after a desperate fight in which
he Buffered bullet wounds that may
prove fatal.
McLean had been an implacable
foe to gambling. He had led a hun
dred attacks on resorts. Last fall the
gamblers opposed him at the polls,
but he was re-elected. He was a son
of ex-Congressman McLean, the first
railroad commissioner of Texas. There
is talk of ordering every gambler out
of Fort Worth. ' Severer measures are
advocated In some cases.
Two Gifts by Mrs. Sage.
Announcement was made of two
gifts to philanthropic or educational
institutions by Mrs. Russell Sage.
The first and largest was a gift of
$150,000 to the American Seamen's
Friend society to erect a new sailors'
home and institute in New York. The
second gift was of $75,000 to the
Syrian Protestant college of Beirut.
Syria.
Mrs. Sage has also promised to give
a building to the association for the
relief of respectable and indigent fe
males in New York and to provide an
annex to the building given by Miss
Helen Gould to the sailors of the
American navy which adjoins the New
York navy yard In Brooklyn.
Channel Tunnel Project Dead.
The project of tunnelling the Eng
lish channel received its death blow,
at least for a long time to come, by
the announcement of the government's
well considered decision against the
enterprise. The premier, in announc
ing his decision, said: "Even if the
military dangers could be completely
guarded against there would be a
feeling of Insecurity, leading to con
stant demands for increased naval ind
military expenditure and creating a
feeling of alarm Injurious to the
country's commercial and political in
terests, which would not be compen
sated for by the advantages of the
tunnel."
Awaiting Judge Fitzgerald's Decision.
This week may see the appointment
of a commission to pass upon the
mental condition of Harry K. Thaw
and the consequent interruption for
some time of his trial before a jury
for killing Stanford White. Justice
Fitzgerald now has the affidavits of
both Bides and may be ready to an
nounce his decision soon as to the
reference of the question of Thaw's
sanity to a commission of experts. If
he determines against such a course,
the trial will go on. In that event, as
practically all the evidence has been
given, a verdict should not be far off.
Search For Little Horace Marvin.
The Delaware detectives who have
been endavoring to locate Horace
Marvin, Jr., appear to be working on
an important new line of inquiry en
tirely independent of Dr. Marvin and
are keeping out of public view.
"The trouble with the people of
the country," said the doctor, "Is that
they are looking for a big boy instead
of a baby. Horace was but three and
a half years old and not a large baby
at that."
General Attack on Europeans.
Dispatches from Morocco City say
the assassination of Dr. Mauchnmp,
who was connected with the French
geodetic mission there, was followed
By a general attack upon Europeans
besieged in their houses and that the
British consular agent was forced to
fire and killed two persons. The paslia
finally sent troops, who drove off the
mob. Tho troops are still guarding
the houses, although comparative
calm has been restored.

TROOPS FOR MOROCCO.
Will Immediately Cross the Al
gerian Frontier,
Occupation of Oudja Will Continue
Till Full Satisfaction Has Been Ac
corded French Demands Includs
Punishment of Murderer of Dr. Mau
champ and Indemnity For Family.
Paris, March 26. The Moroccan sit
uation, which has been forced into the
background for a year past by acute
Internal problems, has been brought
to the front by the assassination In
Morocco City of Dr. Mauchamp, a
French subject, and a lively debate
is anticipated in the chamber of depu
ties today.
Members of the chamber from the
department of Saone et oire, where
Dr. Mauchamp lived, will interpellate
the government. One of them, M.
Fernand Dubief, Radical Socialist, is
in possession of a number of letters
from the doctor in which he complains
bitterly of his abandonment by the
French authorities, giving Instances
of their slackness and inactivity. It
is expected that extracts from these
letters will be read.
Furthermore, the Socialists are li
able to seize this opportunity to at
tack the government in retaliation for
their recent defeat in the matter of
the strike by the. electricians of Paris.
The ministry is fully alive to the
importance of the situation and is
ready to offer a full explanation to the
chamber.
The decision of the cabinet to send
French troops to occupy Oudja, in
Morocco, was unanimous. The occu
pation of this point will be continued
until full satisfaction has been ac
corded. The French demands include the
punishment of the murderer of Dr.
Mauchamp, indemnity for the family
of the victim, and the appropriation
of a large sum for the foundation of a
charitable institution in Morocco in
memory of Dr. Mauchamp.
The decision means that troops
will immediately cross the Algerian
frontier from Tlemsen, where consid
erable forces of all arms are sta
tioned. The action was taken in or
der to compel a Moorish response to
the repeated demands of France for
the repression of disorder and repara
tion for abuses of power, crimes and
assaults affecting French citizens res
ident in Morocco.
The Moroccan government has per
sistently refused to execute the agree
ments concluded, with France in MOl
and 1902 and has absolutely ignored
the French government's representa
tions. Annual Appropriation Bill.

BRIEF SESSION OF COURT.
Justice Fitzgerald Arrived Late and
Announced Adjournment Till
Wednesday.
New York, March 2G. In anticipa
tion of some action on the part of
Justice Fitzgerald regarding the ap
pointment of a lunacy commission for
Harry K. Thaw, District Attorney Jer
ome and all of the counsel for the de
fense were present in the criminal
branch of the supreme court yester
day morning at 11 o'clock.
Justice Fitzgerald had fixed that
hour for notifying the lawyers in case
he should desire further evidence
from either side or an argument of
any sort.
The defendant's family were all In
court Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
came down town alone and entered
the Criminal Courts building entirely
unaccompanied. Mrs. William Thaw
and her two daughters, the Countess
of Yarmouth and Mrs. George L. Car
negie, arrived together and Edward
Thaw appeared soon thereafter.
There was a long wait for Justice
Fitzgerald, who did not arrive until
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. By
this time, the women members of the
Thaw family had become tired out and
had returned to their hotels. When
the judge finally took his place on the
bench he merely went through the
formality of having the court session
adjourned until Wednesday morning
at 10:30 o'clock, the hour set lust Fri
day for the jury to make its reappear
ance in the case.
Justice Fitzgerald made no an
nouncement whatever to the attorneys
and they vouchsafed none. The cere
monies In court occupied less than
two minutes.
' Justice Fitzgerald Is not expected to
make his decision known until court
assembles on Wednesday morning. If
he decides to appoint a commission he
will probably first excuse the jurors
Indefinitely, informing them that they
will be duly notified when their pres
ence is again desired. Then after the
jury retires he will formally announce
the appointment of a commission. If
the judge decides not to appoint a
commission he may make no other an
nouncement than to direct that the
trial proceed.
Cossacks Dislike Hangmen's Work.
St. Petersburg, March 2G. The
question of drumhead courts martial,
the Institution of which forms the bit
terest grievance of the Liberals
against the Stolypin ministry, was
raised In the lower house of parlia
ment on a motion of the Constitutional
Democrats for the appointment of a
committee to draft and submit Imme
diately a bill providing for the aboli
tion of this summary procedure. It
was feared that the Introduction of
this subject in the house would stir
the radicals to such a pitch of passion
as to threaten the continued existence
of the douma, but the debate was con
ducted with surprising decorum and
self restraint. Several opposition ora
tors narrated the heroic deaths of vari
ous persons condemned by drumhead
courts martial and a Cosack deputy
demanded that the army "be no longer
used for hangmen's work."
