Armies- Now; in Open Country and Crucial Battle Expected to Be Fought Uneasiness at Capital. (Calted Ptmi Leased Wirt.) Bluefields, Nicaragua, Feb. 6. (Wire less to- Colon) The , belief Is growing here that hef decisive battle of the Nlcaraguan . revolution . Is impending. Following the fighting of the last two days, the Rovernment troops, which have been retreating slowly and fight ing desperately since the Est ra dans be gaji . their advance from Acoyapa, have reached - Tipitapa, on the Bhores : of Lake - Managua. ; .Tipitapa is butV 2S miles from Managua. Both the govern ment troops and ;,the pursuing rebel army now are in open country, where guetuia righting, is Impossible. Should the crucial battle bo fouaht In that sec tion actual force and superiority of numoers ana equipment . will be tha main factors In the result.; '. '- The oneasiness that has DervadA h capital during thai relentless, advance of the rebels.. according- toxrendrta from there early today, has increaaed almost to a panic as the result of the Inaur- gent victory- at lioaca. Reports of the casualties In this engagement vary, but "These'conteats are prise fights with in the meaning of our statutes. Tha duty devolves upon you to put an end to those exhibitions. We shall not be aat- afled with anything short of complete suppression." These words from a letter of protest written by President JX A. Pattullo of the Portland Municipal association to Mayor Simon epitomise a demand that boxing exhibitions like that of laat Thursday night be hereafter prohibited In Portland. ZS Last of Series. The letter Is the last of a series in terchanged between officials on the same subject The first was sent by Mr. Pattullo to Mayor Simon October 27. The second la dated January 25. Mr. Pattullo chargea that tha exhibi tions ara - the "most brutal of prize fights," and that "no one but the most unsophisticated or , intentionally blind can mistake lt.M The newspapers are quoted to show that the contests were sanguinary and brutal. . This letter. Mayor Simon referred to Councilman Frank ; E. Watkins. Mr. Watkins replied with some indignation to Mrt .Patti.Uo's. charge hat - he-rotl?B ara taken from proper duties to suppress riots at the contests, and that the ex hibitions are attended largely by minora and persons of low character." In Mr.iPattullo'4 last letter Mr.' Wat kins is named an Improper person to give "unbiased Information on this sub ject," as he is one of the "most active promoters of these contests." Further, Mr.i Pattullo says of these "promoters" that . they ara a "set of men "who care little for clean athletics, men whose In fluence has been destructive of the best Interests of the community , In which they have' long been ' tolerated, and whose main object in this, as In other directions, has been money-making re gardless of. the honesty, of the means used"- " tr. a : Mayor Sai-ponds.
