Reports from Managua today say
that tho pcoplo of tho capital aro as
equally divided between Madriz and
Estrada as they aro between Zclaya
and Estrada. The provisional presi
dent, however, nan gained many sup
porters from the outlying districts
during tho last week.
Strlfo has broken out again In the
capital and dally scenes bordering
upon mob violence aro enacted In
tho streets. Tho authorities have
been compelled to resort, again to
sternly repressive measures to pre
serve the peace, and the jails are
filled with prisoners.
Tho people of tho city have not
yet given up hope of American In
terference. Sympathizers with the
revolution believe that a victory by
the insurgents in tho bnttlo being
fought today may have weight with
tho American government looking to
ward a recognltlo nof the provisional
government, which has been sought
by Estrada.

United States land offico, who is now

upon thlt public records, tho com

that sho Is now temporarily residing

Portland, Ore., Jan. 27. Prof.
Filbert Roth, former- chief of the
forestry division of the general land!
office, will close the case of the gov
ernment in the Binger Hermann
trial this afternoon. Prosecutor
Heney, it is expected, will conclude
the direct examination of Prof. Roth
during the afternoon, and with tho
direct examination and the recall o
some of the witness who have al
ready been on the stand the prosecu
tion will come to a close tomorrow
noon.
Attacking Evidence.
Col. Worthington, even before the
close of Heney's case, has begun his
effort to tear holes In the net of cir
cumstances which Heney has been
wfeaving about the defendant during:
the past two weeks of testimony. Yes
terday afternoon during the cross
examination of McVean, Col. Worth
ington attempted to remove the
force of ,tlfie witnesses direct testi
mony, which was in part to the ef
fect that Hermann had tit once taken
up the Blue Mountain case and
made the temporary withdrawals as
soon as he had recelvted the two let
ters from F. P. Mays in May, 1902,
urging that such action be taken by
the land office. McVean had testi
fied that he had those letters from
Mays before him. when he wrote tho
order of withdrawal. On cross-examination
Col. Worthington drew
from the witness that he had or
dered the withdrawal beforehand.
This morning Col. Worthington
followed the same tactics while Col.
A. R. Green, former chief of the for
estry division was on tho stand and
tried to show that all letters which
came to the land offico from senators
and representatives In congress were
mnrked special an given the right of
way by the different divisions of thQ
offico.
Marked Letter Special.
This was to combat the contention
of Heney, founded 911 testimony in
dicted by him through the different
stages of the trial, that the fact that
Hermann marked the letters of
Mitchell to Hermann concerning the
Bluo Mountain case "spl" meant
thnt he hnd done so because of his
agreement with Mays and because
ho was in the conspiracy to push tho
Bluio Mountain reserve case through
tho land office to final creation.
No one has much idea how long
It will requlro to put In the case of
tho defense. Tho documents which
have boon brought Into court by
Hormann and his attorneys fill u
"big trunk which Is guarded carefully
by tho defense. It Is brought to tho
court room every morning and at
tho closo of the session Is locloed up
and takon to a placo of safety for
tho night.
How much of this mnterfnl In tn u
l. ... 1 1 . .
uu uMuu its uviuenco in me case is
problematical.
Dinger Hermann is to go on tho
witness stand when tho dofonso has
Its inning, and it is probably that
this will bo tho chief point of tho
defense and will taldo up most of .tho
time employed In presenting the
counter ovldonco Intended to break
up tho attacks of tho prosecution.
