A RAKING FIRE OF ARTILLERY Large Numbets of Government Troops Killed and WoundedUnited States Warship Needed. New York, May 25. The' Herald's special cable from Granada, Nicaragua, gives additional details of the decisive battle of Barranca Pass, Mav 19, near Masaya. Reliable data show that the government's losses were 155 killed and 267 wounded. This was largely due to the terrible raking fire of the revolution' ary artillery, which occupied a strong position on Coyetepe hill and threw out its murderous messengers of death with scentific precision and deadly effect. The revolutionists outfought the govern ment troops. The half-paid and undis ciplined soldiers were in no sense a match for the well-paid and well-fed troops which have joined the revolution. Carrying away their wounded with them , Sacasa's troops were finally forced to leave the field. When the fight had ended they filled three cars with their wonnded soldiers and sent them back to Managua. None of the revolutionists were injured. The real battle, however, was fought on May 20. It began with heavy cannonading at 8 o'clock in the morning. Thirteen hundred govern ment troops attempted to fight their way out to the position held by the insurg ents, who numbered a little more than 1 ,000, and were commanded by General Barranca, but they attempted ,what it was almost impossible to accomplish. The revolutionists held so strong a posi tion in the mountain pass that a much larger attacking force would have been required to dislodge, even if they had not been backed by artillery. Supported by their field pieces on Coyetepe hill, however, they made it so uncomfortable for the attacking party that the enemy was forced to retire with heavy loss. Two hours later the government forces had been re-formed, and were ordered again to the attack, and after an hour's terrific fighting the government f?r?es were forced to retreat. Disorganization and demoralization prevailed in the ranks. In Managua it is reported that 200 government troops were about to desert and go over to the revolutionists when their plans were revealed and they were imprisoned. President Sacasa is reported to have fled to Corinto and is ready to go on board a steamer and leave the country the moment he is con vinced he cannot win. His government is in a desperate situation, and has now little chance to gain what it has lost. The presence of a United States warship in Nicaraguan waters is needed for pro tection of American interests. TBI CARSON MINT. OvIi( to tSic Expense There Will Be Suspension of Coinage. Washington, May 25. Owing to the small amount of gold bullion deposited, about $100,000 per month, and the heavy expenses of coinage at the mint at Car son City, Nev., Secretary. Carlisle has directed the suspension of coin age at that mint after June 1. Gold and silver bullion will, however, be JOHN GARU5LE and refining. Gold deposits will be paid for in coin or fine bars as preferred by the depositor. Re turns for silver deposits will be made in uuparted or fine bars as desired. Pur chasers of silver bullion under the act of July 14, 1890, will be continued as here tofore. The forces in the mint at Phila delphia and New Orleans will probably be reduced. With the suspension of coinage at Carson City the coinage of silver dollars will be discontinued for the present, as there is no demand for this class of money. The Salmon Industry. Astokia, May 25. The fish catch to day reached the 5,000 mark, the boats averaging 9 salmon per boat, with an average weight of 23 pounds. The trapmen are retrograding, even from their meager catch of yesterday. In fact, the principal feature of this year's work will undoubtedly be the extinction of the trap industry on the lower river. Reports from above Tongue point show the same state of things. The catch for the season to date reaches 205,610 fish or about 67,750 cases, Astoria's contri bution being 47,946 cases. Fish for the past six days have averaged 23 1-5 pounds, and indications are that the next seven days will bring the weight up to 24 pounds. Notwithstanding the talk about big fish, it is a fact that only 5 per cent of the catch so far has aver aged over 40 pounds each The fisher men, however, are making excellent wages and doing better than they have done for the last four vears. HDgh M. La Rue. Hugh M. La Rue, superintendent of the bureau of vi ticulture, of the Colum bian exposition, has been identified with the agricultural and wine industries of California since the war. He was born at Elizabeth town, JfJIilk Ky., in 1830. In V 1830 he removed to Missouri, where he received a common school education. In 1857 he planted a seventy-five acre orchard in California, which was at the time the largest in the state. Since 1867 ho has been promi nent in California politics, serving as sheriff of Sacramento in 1873, and as member of the state constitutional con vention in 1879. For several terms he was speaker of the state house of repre sentatives. For seven years he was presi dent of the California State Agricultural society. For the past ten years he has been superintendent of the State Board of Agriculture. Mr. La Rue was ap pointed to his present position Sept. 1, 1892. Curiosities of Glass Making. St. Louis Republic. The art of glass manufacture goes back into antiquity to a time "when the mind of man runneth not to the contrarv." yet we cannot penetrate the mists which hang over the infancy of what has for ages been a useful industry. Its original discovery is alleged, on the authority of several reputable writers, to have been the result-of an accident in which some nitrum (supposed by some to have been salt) was fused with sand. The date of this event is not even approximately given, but it is said to have taken place on the banks of the Belus, in Palestine, where some mariners had landed and were cooking their meals, using blocks of nitrum to hold their pots in position'. Sir Gardner Wilkinson gives a cut of a piece of Egyptian sculpture work which represents two-glass blowers ply ing their art in a manner which strikes one as being surprisingly like that prac ticed at the present time. Sir. Gardner informs us that this sculpture was ex ecuted 3,500 years ago, during the reign of Benj. Hassan. Theban paintings and sculptures, which are known to date back to the time of Exodus, 1,400 years B. C, show glass drinking vessels of delicate patterns and fine workmanship, in some instances rivaling similar vessels of modern make. Strabo and Josephus both affirm that the Egyptian glass workers were so well skilled in their art that they imitated the amethyst and other precious stones to perfection. Malleable glass was one of the secret arts of the ancient, the formula for making it being now reckoned as lost. Strabo mentions a cup of glass which could be hammered into any desirable shape, the material of which it was composed being as ductile as lead.

WILL APPLY FOR AN INJUNCTION District Attorney Gilchrist Lost No Time in Complying With In structions. Washington, May 25. As a result of United States District Attorney Gil christ's talk with Attorney-General Olney yesterday, he left last night with explicit instructions, if he should find on arrival at Chicago that the plan was still adhered to to open the world's fair Sunday, to "Present the matter to the federal court and ask for an injunction, or any other legal process which the facts would warrant, and which wonld prevent a violation of the laws of the United States." District Attorney Gilchrist lost no time in complying with the instructions of the attorney -general. He telegraphed ahead to the assistant attorney-genera, instructing him to prepare a bill for an njunction restraining the management of the fair from opening the gates next Sunday. The bill will be filed as soon -as it can be prepared, probably Friday or Saturday. Forced a Check. J . P. Wager, at one time a prominent man in Oregon, is confined in the county jail in Portland to answer to the grand jury for the crime of obtaining money under false pretenses. Wager gave C. Donoghue of that city a check bearing the forged signature of George H. Moffitt, manager of the Portland Tele gram. Mr. Wager was a senator from Umatilla county in the legislature of 1887 and 1889, and was the brightest and most eloquent of that body. He was editor and proprietor of the Pendle ton East Oregonian for several years and had the honor of being the only democrat whom H. W. Scott, of the Portland Oregonian, thought a foe in an worthy of his steel. Wager was em ployed upon the editorial staff of the Evening Telegram a few months and then tried to practice law at Condon, Morrow county. Drink has caused his downfall. Statesman. A. Woman Burned to Death. Rqckxin, Cal., May 25. At 2:40 this morning, fire started in the kitchen of the Davies hotel ; its origin is unknown. It burned 25 buildings, including two thirds of the business section of the town. The total loss is $75,000, insurance about one-tbird. Miss Alice Irish, of Georgetown, working at the Davies hotel, got out once, but went back for her clothes, was caught in the flames and burned to death. A heroic attempt was made by William Davies and Will Landis to save her, but the building collapsed. The other occupants of the hotel barely escaped with their lives. A Woman Cremated. Atlanta, Ga., May 25. Dora Schun, a woman of bad character, recently had her thoughts turned to the evil of her ways, and became convinced that burn ing was her lot. - East night she decided to settle her fate at once. Seizing a lighted lamp, she smashed it on her bead. The oil fell on her clothing, and she was soon a pillar of fire. Her inju ries were such that she died todav.
