Blueflelds, May 15. Estrada, the
revolutionary leader, Is at the last
ditch, fighting specially to prevent
the capture of the custom house on
the bluff overlooking Blueflelds. This
position is the key to the city. Gun
ners have been dueling since yester
day. Should Madrii succeed, it is
probable he will ask the commander
of the American gunboat Paducah' for
permission to enter Blueflelds. If
dented, Madrlz will probably attempt
to enter by force. Tle fall of Blue
fields seems inevitable, although it
is reported Madrls's charges have been
repulsed. Five hundred troops land
ed.- last night fr6m the Venus below
Blueflelds, and the bombarding by
Americans, , who are operating " the
machine guns, was Estrada's main
reliance, their fire stopping the
charges. The American residents
have appealed for protection from
the Paducah's commander.
The sounds of a battle can be heard
here. Many foreigners have gone to
their consulates for protection. The
Paducah- holds the key to the situ
atlon as only her power can prevent
pillage of the city. Commander Gll-
mor is firm In his stand that troops
can not enter the city and a clash
between the marines and advance
guards of the Madrlz army is not un
likely. Skirmishing has been going
on for three days. Heavy losses are
reported by couriers.
SAYS DIXON AMENDMENT
AID TO INLAND EMPIRE
Spokane, May 25. J. Kane, man
ager of the traffic bureau maintained
by the Spokane Merchants' associ
ation, said on returning from Wash
ington, D. C, today that the Dixon
amendment which passed the United
State senate recently will be of great
benefit to Spokane and other Interior
points In the natter of equitable rates
than the Mann amendment, adopted
by the house. - He added that It Is
likely a bill Including the Dixon am
t nc'ment will be passed by both hous
es. He said also that Franklin K.
Lane, a member of the Interstate com.
berce commission, announced that In
all probability the commission will
give Its decisions in the Spokane rate
case and suits Instituted by interior
cities before the summer vacation, the
end of June. Mr. Kane does not be
lieve Spokane will get straight termi
nal rates; "trot,' he said, "we will
get some material relief; the com
mission certainly will reduce west
bound rates to Spokane, also to other
interior points. I believe, too, that
the fight In congress will have a ben
eficial effect upon the Interstate com
merce commission.
