General Pablo Reyes and -two or three other insurgent officers who escaped from Nicaragua, are . condemned to tbe extreme pecalty of tbe law, which is death. Only one of tbe prominent leaders were captured. He is now in tbe penitentiary. It is believed he will be placed in chains for life by or der of ' President Zelaya, instead of being shot. ' To the general surprise of the public, President Zelaya has within a day or twoarrested several prominent citizens of Leon. Kicarague, aud transferred them to tbe Managua penitentiary.

The home coming of Admiral George Dewey for henceforth tho national capital to be his home xas made the occa sion for tbe greatest tribute ever paid by Washington to any individual. After tbe preliminary welcome in New York itself, unsurpassed in its kind, it remained for the highest and greatest in the official world to bold out the band of greeting to tbe famous admiral, and to join with the people who are to be his fellow-citizens, iu bidding him welcome. Tbe citizens had made every preparation to make the occasion worthy of their hero. The decorations were elaborate, Pennsylvania avenue was one mass of colored bunting along the entire line of march from the station to the Wnite House, and, not content with this, few private citizens failed to mak some display of color on their residences. Unique designs in fairy lamps dotted the horizon; great searchlights threw broad beams of bright light across the blue sky on a clear October evening, and the stately capitol stood revealed n Its queenly beauty in the powerful ays of many concentrated lights. . Dewey was taken directly, from tbe station to tbe White House in a car riage drawn by four horses, and was given a ber.rty welcome' by the presi ent and cabinet. After the formal welcome tbey reviewed the procession after which the admiral was taken to the home of Mrs. Washington McLean, tho home having been turned over to him for a borne during his present stay in the capital. 1 Ihe magnificent sword awarded by act of congress to the nation's hero was bet-towed upon Admiral Dewey today in the presence of the president and members of tbe cabinet and tbe judiciary, the highest officers of the army and navy and a vast crowd of the plain people. in strong contrast wih all tbe cere monies that have taken place since Admiral Dewey reached the shores of his native land, today's function was severely official in character. The ad ministration was executing the will of tbe whole American people, and local ity ana community disappeared.1 Tho scene of the presentation was appro priately located under the shadow of the great white capital of the nation a spot filled with . memories of other stately ceremonies. , , ' . The escort which marched io line with the admiral was made up entirely of soldiers and sailors. There was nothing in tbe general arrangements as tbe immense crowd swept through, the beautiful plaza to indicate that the occasion was anything less than- a presidential inauguration. ,( It, was be fore this vast assemblage, amid a pro found hush, that " Admiral -,. George Dewey received from the bands of . its chief executive tbe sword the nation gave him. : ' TWO MEN KILLED. Ambushed by m Farcy of Filipino Wear ' Bacoor. : New York, Oct. 3.
