mOOKFLICT
Puerto Certez, Honduras, March 10,
via New Orleans, March 15. —in spite
of the claims made by the command
ing officers of eacb side that "the ene
my has been vanquished in an import
ant battle," the fighting between Hon
duras and Nicaragua has, up to the
present time, been confined to small
engagements between scouting parties
on one or the other side and on the
frontier.
Each side has piade claims of vic
tories not warranted by the f;.cts, and
each has called the reports scut out
by the other false and misleading.
The actual condition of the armed
hostility between Honduras and Nica
ragua. from the Honduran side, is
that President Bonila is awaiting for
further reinforcements from Teguci
galpa and for arms from the United
States.
Honduras has armed already be
tween 16,000 and IS,O'JO men and
000 more are being equipped at the
capital.
The first actual difficulty took place
at Los Manos, when Nicaraguans who
were encamped in their side of the vil
lage crossed the line one night and
stole a Honduran mule and retired
with their capture without firing a
shot.
This incident was followed by diplo
matic correspondence in which the
Nicaraguans were stigmatized as cat
tle lifters. This was resented with
counter charges.
President Bonila offered to submit
the Los Manos incident and all other
pending questions to arbitration, but
Nicaragua refused, and shortly after
both countries had begun seriously to
prepare for war.
Many Officers Killed,
Managua, Nicaragua, March 15. —
"he Nicaraguan government issued a
decree recognizing the provisional
government of Honduras and declar
ing its members to be allies of Ni
caragua.
The last battle fought between
Nicaraguans and Honduras were so
decisively in favor of the former, it
is believed it will result in bringing
the war to an end. Gen. Melecio
Merino and other Honduran officers
were killed.

Greensboro. March 15. —In the Fed
eral Court this afternoon, District At
torney Holton rested for the prosecu
tion in the case against Ex-Revenue
Officer Hasty on trial for alleged colus
ioa with distillers to defraud the Gov
element. Eight counts of the bill of
indictment were eliminated. Before
closing the Government's testimony,
eight witnesses who had been block
aders gave evidence cf having operat
ed stills Hasty had reported as being
destroyed and several testified that he
was of bad character.
The defense, after putting on two
witnesses as to Hasty's goo:! charac
ter, introduced the defendant whose
examination in chief was concluded
when Court adjourned. Hasty denied
that Government reports made by
him were false, examining and ex-,
plaining each one on which the prose
cution based its ground for conviction.
He also contradicted flatly testi
mony given bv Government witnesses
c»mulcting him with a purpose in cut
ting telephone wires to mislead or cov
er up design to have blockaders ap
; rized of officers' approach so that
they could hide their stills and thus
escape arrest.
The Greensboro Electric Company
this morning began work on the two
miies extension of the street railway
system down West Lee street.
It was a surprise to the contractors,
who had advertised for fifty laborers,
to have one hundred and fifty appli
cants for work. One hundred more
than was need. The work wiil now
be carried forward to an early com
pletion. Great delay has been exper
ienced in getting material. A large
number of poles and ties and the great
er part of the rails are now here.
The now line will leave the pres
ent track at Centenary church and fol
lowing Arlington and West Lee streets

properties. This will give a populous
section of the city street car facilities
and will givo access to some splendid

turned this morning from Baltimore
where he had been to carry the seven

England. The girls were in a s'pecial

to wait two hours, and insisted on get

to chaperone them, he could only re
fuse the request. This was net suffi
cient. The doors were locked and ro
liccmcn placed on the side cf the
coach to keep the girls from jumping
out of the windows. Had they not
got ina wordy riot among themselves
on the car and forgot the desire to
go up to fje city, it is probable that
they would have had their way.
Baltimore was reached at midnight
and the women were quartered at the
National hotel going quietly to their
rooms on a solemn promise of beer
next morning. Marshall Millikan
kept his promise and next morning es
corted every body—he in front and
Deputy Huffins in the rear —to a
garden.
He said it was worth walking miles
to see how happy the women were to
once more quaff a foaming flagon of
beer or ale. At noon they were
placed in charge of the United States
Immigration Agent. Before this for
mality occurred t> half of the girls had
decided they did" not wish to go back
to the old country, bat desired to re
turn with Marshall Millikan and Dep
uty Huffins, but the two officials slip
ped off so they could not do so.
They had plenty of money to pay
their way back and the matter of their
remaining in Ibis country is being con
sidered by the Attorney General. Their
ship is due to sail for Liverpool on Sat
