WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-General
Mena, leader of the Nicaraguan revo
lutionists, is to be sent to Panama un
der guard of American sailors and
marines. American Minister Weitzel
reports to the State Department to
day that Rear-Admiral Southerland
had accepted the surrender of Mena
and 700 followers at midnight Sep
tember 24.
His capture is taken to indicate the
collapse of the revolution. His re
moval to Panama probably means ex
ile. Officials here believe General Mena
requested that he be submitted to
surrender to Admiral Southerland,
from of summary action at the hands
of the Nicaraguan federals, and the
Admiral -doubtless thought it advis
able to get the rebel out of the coun
try as soon as possible,
Granada is now completely under
control of; the United States forces.
Conditions are reported pitiful in the
extreme. The inhabitants face fam
ine in consequence of their long iso
lation. Red Cross', provisions have
been distributed with the greatest
haste. S
It is thought that General Zeledon
and his forces will not attempt to hold
out, now that the head of the revolu
tion has given up.

ing, dismissed the charge against

four years, according to the witness,
he paid her $50 a month, for one year,
$40 a month and for two years about
$25 a month. Recently, owing to a
failure of his crops, hei said, he has
not paid her anything. He formerly
worked near Seaside but two years
ago began, farming on the Tualitan.

The Republican campaign starts in
Clackamas County tonight with a big
meeting in the school house in Har

iasm in politics this year. than, for
several years past. The meeting will
be attended by a majority of the party
nominees, all of whom are confident
of election. Several of the best speak
ers in the county will attend the meet
ing tonight. Among the speakers
who will accompany the candidates
in the early stages of the campaign
are ! George C. Brownell, Grant B.
Dimick and W. A. Dimick. County
Chairman Frank Jaggar and Secrej

GERED BY ATTACKS MADE
ON CHARACTER
Residents of Oregon City are de
termined that an elevator shall be
erected at the bluff. The proposition
was voted upons at the last election
and, lost because it was connected
with other propositions on the bal
lot, which were not so much desired.
Public spirited citizens plan to ask
the City "Council at the next regular
meeting to adopt a resolution provid
that the question be placed upon the
ballot used in the next city election.
Among the men taking an active
interest in the matter are W. L. Mul
vey, W. A. Dimick, T. P. Randall, R.
E. Woodward, J. E. Hedges, O. D.
Eby, George Randall, S. P. Davis,
John Albright and Fred J. Meyer.
These men contend that an elevator
is a public necessity, and that its
erection would greatly enhance the
value of property on the hill. A com
mittee, which was appointed just be
fore the last election to make an in
vestigation reported that the cost of
erecting the elevator would be about
$7,000 and that the cost of maintain
ing it would be small. It is planned
to have it erected and owned by the
city.

posession he has in the world if his

her present plans.,
The battle signal was raised within
a few seconds after she had read a
public statement regarding herself
and their1 affairs whinh Sifkldn mto
out to a newspaper early in the day.
In this statement General Sickles
sought to destroy any sympathy for
his wife, based on her pawning her
jewelry a week ago to take up an $8,
000 judgment against him.
He attacked her personal charact
er, saiu me jewels were ms, not ners,
anyway, and charged her with hold
ing an arrested judgment over him
as a club. . '
Mrs. Sickles listened to the reading
of General Sickles' statement with
growing anger.
"It is enough," she said. "I hold
a $40,000 mortgage on that house. It
is a second mortgage. He has never
paid me one cent of interest.
"I shall foreclose that mortgage.
I shall evict him.
"General Sickles in his chivalry has
seen fit to make a dreadful insinua
tion regarding my character. Stanton

years after the General left me in
Madrid I came to this country with
the son of a friend of mine, the widow
to whom the child had been left after
a few months after her husband's
death. The boy's name was Miguel.
He lived with me here until he was
able to support himself, and then
went into the world to earn his own
living. He is dead; he cannot answer
the slur that this old man has seen
fit to utter against his good name and
mine."

cious, and was cooked by J. W. Mc
Farland, of Oregon City. Mr. McFar
land has had much experience in
cooking meat in this manner having
learned how when he fought in the
Civil War under General Sherman. It
was necessary for him to prepare the
fire, and after the meat had been
placed on the red hot coals he had
to give it his entire attention. It re
quired 400 pounds of beef to feed the
crowd Thursday. This was followed
by a program on the platform in the
