Some people have an Idea that In surance Companies do not like to pay their claims after a loss occurs, and that they delay the settlements as much as possible, On the contrary, first class companies use all possible haste in adjustment and payment of their losses, and the following letter received by Messrs. Wm. Bragaw A Co., from one of their customers who recently had a lire. Indicates that fact. Our reader* will recall that mention wss made in these columns of the Ore at Paqteg0 which destroy ed Mr. Whitley's property. The let ter reads as follows: Pantego. N. c.. Aug. is. 1910. Messrs. Wm.

New Orleans, La.. Aug. 23.?Vlc torloua after almost a year of fight ing, in which G.000 men have fallen, the Kstradau government today Is making desperate attempts to curb Its riotous soldiers and partisans and to protect Americans from violence at Managua, accord/ag to dispatches from there today. General Mena, in command of the army that occupied Managua yester day. today doubled the police detail and threw a heavy guard about the American conaulate. At the same time. Consul Sllvarea prepared to call marines from the American gunboats York town and VIcksburg, at Corlnto. should the situation get beyond the control of the Insurgents. Till late last night moba paraded the streeta, and the demonstration was renewed today with the dswn. "Down with the Americana," Is the cry. This Is ascribed partly by the hysterls of the moment, but In greater extent to the unpopularity of the course pursued by Washington. Madfis. who returned to the city after Its capitulation, has attempted to aid In the preservation of order. Mena and other leaders today were in communication with General Es trada urging him to hurry a doolnlon as, to the next step. LIST OK LETTERS.
