POSTOFFICES CLOSE SUNDAYS Rebels, Well Armed, Overrun Coun try and Defy Troops. Nsw Regulations of Department Af fect Large Cities. Washington, D. C.—With the Nica raguan revolutionists split into small bands of marauding outlaws, as recent reports to the State department seem to indicate, the United States has on its hands more difficult diplomatic questions to solve regarding the coun tries of Latin America than ever be fore in history. The apparently spent revolution against the Madero government in Mexico, the attacks of the police of Panama on Americans, the uprising against the Federal government in Cuba and the question of the collec tion of the customs of Santo Doming- on have drawn the State department into difficult relations with the people of those respective countries. A mob of ragged but well-armed men. according to recent dispatches to the State department, has been wan dering through the country near Man agua, robbing and burning buildings on the outskirts of the capital and ter rorizing the residents. It is supposed that they were part of a revolutionist band which escaped from the federal fortes two days ago. The latest word received from the detachment of 500 marines under com mand of Commander Terhune, U. S. N., which had left Corinto for Man agua over the railroad, was that bridges were down and in many places rails torn up. Marines were expected to reach Managua and restore commu nication within 24 hours. The fate of 125 Americans, who have been prac tically besieged in the interior, is a matter of speculation, for no authen tic news has been received from them in several days. As soon as the rail road between Managua and Corinto is open it is expected all the foreigners within reach will be taken out of the country.

FARMERS IN NEED OF AID. HOP PICKING STARI ED. Washington, D. C. — Plans were perfected by Postmaster General Hitchcock whereby the administration of the new law prohibiting the deliv ery of mail on Sundays will have no serious effect upon the handling of Im portant mail matter. Holders of lock boxes on first and second class postofficea will have ac cess to them as usual, although no mail deliveries will be made by car rier* on the street or at postoffice win dows. Mail for hotel patrons and newspapers will be deliver«*! to them through their lock boxes by th<> simple arrangement of having that mail sorted on the railway cars before it reaches destination. Such mail will be regarde 1 as “transit matter,*' and will be distribut««! imm««iiately upon its arrival at the office of destination, thus practically insuring speedier de livery to the addressees than hereto fore has been the case.
