4. -William p. Fittham, the American who
laid the mines at Bluefleldf for the Insur
gents, was captured by the government
tioopi and will be tried by court-martial.
This was made known today following the
receipt by the government of the Aetalls
of the capture of Bluefields Bluff by the
forces of President Madrla.
1 he troops paysed to the assault over
five mines, only one of which was exploded.
Vlulium was wounded and captured, it Is
taid. as he was engaged In operating the
mechanism thtoush which the hidden en
gine of destruction were released Fiitham
formerly lived In Boston.
Uevcrniuent Troops Defeated.
BLUEFIELDS, June . Advices received
here mate that the Insurgent forces under
General Mena at Kama have defeated and
put to flight tbe government troops com
manded by General Chavarria.
Following the withdrawal of the Madrls
forces from the vicinity of this city, Gen
eral Chamorro with 400 men was dispatched
to Rama to reinforce General Mena, Gen
eral Chamorro arrived at Rama Thursday
morning and General Mena at once sent a
messenger to the government headquarters
In the field offering Chavarria twelve hours
In which to surrender' or" fight!
Jn. reply Chavarria made a dash from a
fortified position on a hill close to Kama
with the object, it is said, of escaping to
the Interior.
When Mena learned that the enemy was
escaping lie sent General Recreo with a
strong force to cut off Us retreat. An en
gagement followed and continued for three
hours, when the troops of President Madriz
became thoroughly ' demoralized and fled
Jn every direction, leaving their dead and
wounded on the field.
Oi. Thursday evening Thomas P. Moffatt,
the American consul, Issued a proclama
tion declaring that vessels entering the
pert of Bluefields must pay customs duties
to the government i.aded by General Ks
Iradu, the revolutionary leaders. Subse
quently the schooner Caye entered the har
bor 1 and was not Interfered with by tue
government officers who are In possession
of the customs house on Bluefields bluff.
The action of the United States In ruling
that the revolutionists may receive customs
di-ties has been received with enthusiasm,
and it la considered a great victory for
General Estrada. Its effect is to rob the
government of the fruits- of Us capture of
Bluefields bluff and the customs house,
which, after having been seltsed by the In
surgents, were recently taken by the troops
loyal to the administration of President
Madrls. '
The American decision also destroy the
effectiveness of ihe government's steamer
'Venus, which' Is "ylng off Bluefields, but la
rendered Impotent to aid President Madriz
In subduing the rebellious troops on the
Atlantic coast.
It Is believed here that General Mena has j
Dy.tnis time surrounded and captured Cha
varra's army.
State Department Acts.
WASHINGTON, June 4-The State de
partment has taken cognizance of the
Associated Press dispatches from San Juan
Del Sur, that William Plttham, the Amer
ican captured by the Madriz troops, would
be tried by court-martial. A telegram to
the Madriz government la being sent stat
ing in. effect that this government expects
fair and humane treatment for Fittham.
Personal Notes from Gotham
Maiditonc-Drexel Wedding, Set for Next Wednesday, the Chief Topic
of Social Concern Other International Matchei Scheduled Plant

BT MARGARET WATTS DE FETSTER.
NEW YORK. June 4.-(Special Dispatch
to The Bee.) The next big International
matrimonial alliance of Importance Is that
of Miss Margaretta Drexel, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel, sr., of Phlla
delphia, and the Viscount Maidstone in
St. Margaret. Westminster, London, on
next Wednesday. Lord Maidstone is a
scion of one of the oldest British houses
and, had King Edward not died, he would
have been a guest. It was originally
planned that Miss Vivian Gould, a sister
of Mrs. Anthony Drexel, Jr., and Mrs.
Drexel would be presented at court about
the time or the wedding. This will not be
done as the social regime in British court
circles- have changed "since King George
assumed the crown.
The Gould and Drexel families will at
tend the wedding, as will many other
American fashionables who happen to be
in London, but there wjll be a somber
touch due to the death of King Edward.
A number of the noble guests have can
celled their acoeptances and the absence of
King Edward Is a crushing blow to the
hopes of the Drexel family.
Miss Drexel wiU give her bridesmaids as
souvenirs gold chains set with diamonds,
with the latest In mascots on them,' a
ball, bell and rabbit in gold and jewelled.
The bridegroom will also make presents to
the bridesmaids In British fashion: Mr.
and Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel wlH give the
bridal breakfast at their reeldenoe- In C-ras-venor
Square. ,
On June 23d, will occur the wedding of
Miss Mildred Carter and Lord Acheson.
The next semi-American matrimonial al
liance will be that of Mlsa Nellie Post and
Montague Eliot. Miss Post is a daughter
by the first husband of Lady Barry more,
who has been a widow for many years.
Miss Post will be one of Miss Droxcl's
bridesmaids. Another will be Miss Mildred
Carter.
There were no less than four big wed
dings in New York today. The present
month, always noted for the number of
Its marriages, will be no exception. Among
the most Interesting of the recent engage
ments Is that of Miss Margaret G. Dlx, a
daughter of the date Morgan Dlx. for many
years pastor of Trinity church, to Mr.
Charles Lanier Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence
Is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Lawrence
and grandson of Charles Lanier. The wed
ding date waa not announced.
Miss Dlx is a charming young girl, much

TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED
SCHOOL CHILDREN SING
Mainmonth Chora of Omaha l.lttle
Folks to Sin at the Saenger
feat la Jaly.
Twenty-five hundred Omaha public school
children will appear at the Saengerfeat In
the Auditorium on Friday, July 22, and
will sing three songs at the matinee per
formance. "America." "The Star-Spangled
Banner," and "The Watch on the Rhine,"
are the aonga which will be sung by the
children, under the direction of Prof. T. R.
Reese of Omaha.
The children are being drilled In the re
spective schools at present by Miss Fannie
Arnold, musical director, and the first con
cert rehearsal will be In the Auditorium,
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The
chorus work of the children has proven to
be one of the most popular features of the
Saengerfest. . and from the start already
made, it is expected that this year'a work
will surpasa the singing of past years.
Prof. Theodore Kelbe of Milwaukee has
bt-en going about the northwest territory
training the Individual aocletles which are
to take part in the mass male chorus u
:.KW voices. Today he is In Chicago, where The following named officers of the Six-
The pews in the Fifth, Avenue Presby
terian church at Fifth avenue and Fifty
fifth street, will be filled with bridal guests
for the wedding of Miss Eleanor Butler
Alexander and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., on
Monday afternoon, June 20. When the day
of the return of the bridegroom's parents,
Colonel and Mrs. Theodore' Roosevelt, was
definitely decided, the cards were sent out
by the bride's mother, Mrs. Henry Addison
Alexander. ' The ceremony will be per
formed at 4 o'clock, and the reception after
ward will be given at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles B. Alexander, 4 West Fifty
eighth street, Mr. Alexander being an uncle
of the bride.
i
Among the big establishments at New
port to be closed for the summer are those'
of Mrs. Vanderbllt and Mrs. Hermann
Oelrlche, both of whom are to be abroad,
and Marble House and ,Belcourt, both
owned by Mrs. Oliver II. P. Belmont. The
house of Mrs. William B. Leeds, for many
summers the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick R. Vanderbilt, win not be opened,
Mrs.. Leeds being abroad. James J. Van
Alen, now over for his annual fishing trip
at the Restlgouche club, may open Waken-hurst.
Mr. and Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt have
returned from their country place In North
Carolina. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is at
Nuwport with her children.
Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller will
leave their place in the Pocantlco hills
about the middle of this month for their
summer home at Cleveland.
The latest report I hear concerning Miss
Helen Gould's charitable work is that she
will give the financial assistance necessary
to convert the Wilson Memorial academy,
near Nyack, N. T., Into a, college. Miss
Gould has taken an active interest In this
school for several years, which Is con
ducted under the control of the Christian
and Missionary alliance. She has aent
several boy there, contributing to their
support.
Lady Cook is again In America, but not
to lecture on suffrage this t!me. She
came to spend some time with relatives.
Chiefly to ask nor what she Intended to
do for the American suffragists I sought
her at the Plasa, hotel.
She was averse to talking upon this sub
ject, although, In speaking of the new court
regime abroad and Its attitude towards
Americans, she sajld:
"Queen Miry will have her own way or
know the reason 'why. She will brook no
Interference In her social affairs and she
will act Independently as the social ar
biter of the English court. Her feelings
are very kind towards some Americans,
although not .kindly at all towarda some
of .the rich American men and women who
have used their money In a questionable
way to gain favor with members of the
nobility."
I might term this an announcement ex
traordinary. Duke Ferdinand de Montpen-if,-
of tlie French nobility, who recently
arrived-m- this country. Is not seeking the
daughter of an American millionaire for a
wife. The duke, who is the brother of the
queen of Portugal, cousin of the king of
Spain, grandson of Louis Philippe, once
king of the French, and brother of the
Due d'Orleans, Is making a trip around the
world. . He is accompanied by a friend,
Comte G. de Pontac; his secretary, Hubert
Thonler; a valet and a cinematograph man.
For the duke Is going a-huntlng and films
are to immortalize the exploits of the royal
nlmrod. The duke'a brother claims the
title of king of France, and the duke is
his-heir apparent.
"I' am making a tour of the world," he
said. "I shall stay here a short time, then
go to Mexico for the hunting. Then a re
turn, to New -York. Then to Canada for
mora hunting, and again a return here.
Then across the country west to Wyoming,
where t shall hunt your mountain goats
and bears. Then oh to San Francisco, and
from there to Japan. In my automobile,
which I run myself, I shall travel down
through Cochln-Chlna into India, and so
back across Europe and home."
New York and Newport society is still
gossiping over the rumors, which have fol
lowed Aurel Batonyl to this oountry from
Europe.
Rumor No. 1 Aurel Batonyl, divorced
husband of Mrs. Burke-Roche, was secretly
married to Countess Palmal Ilka Kinsky
In Paris during Easter week.
Rumor No. 2 Batonyl's father recently
died In Hungary, leaving an estate of
$3,000,000 which Is to become his after the
death of his mother, If he gives up the
countess and relinquishes claims to Ameri
can wives.
Either report No. 1 or report No. 2 would
have been sufficient to have cast a new
halo about the Hungarian whip at New
port, where he now Is. In view of the
angry statements he made to ship news
reporters on his arrival, because the higher
courts had supported his former wife In
the divorce which she secured, he refused
to talk In Newport about his marriage to
the Countess Kinsky.
Among the fashionables who have prom
ised to open their Newport villas this month
and assist In making the fashion colony Its
old gay self are Colonel John Jacob Astor,
Llspenard Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Stuyves
ant Fish, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lehr, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, Mr. and
Mrs. R. Livingston Beekman and Mr. and
Mrs. A. Gordon Norrls.

The cost of food has become so alarmingly high as to demand investigation. Government bureaus, state legislatures
and labor organizations have been stirred to action. Thus far what is the result! Why ,the attention of everybody mil
lions the whole nation has been turned to the source of food TILE FARMS and thus far it appears the farmer is receiv
ing the benefits. The bread winner is fast learning that the farm is the one place of independence and plenty for him. The
slogan of this day and generation has become
"Baclk'to tfrae Farm"
and the march to the land is on, as never before in history. The man 'who wants a piece of land cau ill afford to delay as
land is rising so rapidly in value. How about that land you were onoe going to buy in Nebraska or Iowa, but waited and
didn't, and now you want to and can'tf Delay and postponement are the destroyers of opportunity. To the man of mod
erate means who will net now there is absolutely no location remaining where his investment will bring greater returns than
in the Fort George District, B. C.
The California of Canada
Fort George is on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific ,half way between Edmonton and Prince Ituport. The situation
of Fort George is such that it will be the largest city on the Grand lYunk Pacific between Edmonton and Prince Ruport.
Fort George is the center and distributing point for Central British Columbia today; and is central geographical location
and stratic situation is such that it will continue to be the chief commercial place of Central British Columbia for all time.
Central British Columbia is sufficiently rich in natural resources to support a population of millions. That population is
already beginning to sweep into this new and Last West, and before half the destined population of British Columbia is
attiined, Fort George will be one of the larger cities of Canada. And because this new West is the last vast and rich undo
veloped section of the continent, its growth will be faster than that of any similar section in the past. Within a few years
Fort George will be where Winnipeg, Minneapolis and Spokane are today. Immediately surrounding Fort George we can
secure for you rich and fertile ,
Government Land at Government Price
We are in a position to secure from 160 to 640 acres, of rich farm land for you within ten miles of the line of the Grand
Trunk Pacific, Railway now building to Prince Ruport, and you do not have to live on it, improve it or become a Canadian
citizen to own it. This land is the property of the Canadian G overnment and you can secure it through us if you apply NOW.
It is surveyed land not a staking proposition and we cau show you field notes on each individual section. It lies in the
Fort George district, in the Sunny Eraser or the Famous Nechaco Valleys, and is being applied for so rapidly that none of it
will be available in a very short time. Over 200,000 acres of agricultural land in this district was withdrawn from "Sale or
Lease" by the Government during the past month. If you act immediately we can secure from 160 to 640 acres of this for
you by paying
l.OO Pep Acre Cash
i
Balance three years 6 per cent. Total cost $7.50 per acre, including government title. Land owned by private parties all
around in this beautiful district is selling at from three to five times above price, and will soon be worth $50, $75, $100
and more per acre. This opportunity won't last long. CALL TOMORROW and see Government reports and map.

Mr. F. A. Shaw, Boise. Idaho:
Dear Mr. Shaw: Enclosed find the
Capitol News clipping. 1 have been
waiting for some developments In the
line of mining down here before writ
ing to you, but cannot very well get
up for awhile on account of the snow,
that In, 1 could, but It would be some
what disagreeable. When snow get
packed and crusted a little more it
it will he an easy matter to make the
trip. If we were working a force of
men nil the time the roads could eas
ily be kept open the entire year, but
not working all the time and then
only a small force In the winter time
the roads gets obstructed with snow.
Same can be said for the mines on
Connor Creek, eight miles south of
here; but from the essays and reports
of the miners, as well us personal ob
servation, I am of the polniori that we
can safely count at the present time
one a foot of ore' averaging at least
liftydollars 50. The experienced
miners all tell us that a permanent
vein of six Inches averaging that
much in thii locality will pay.
Our ore Is a very desirable one for
mnelters, being a very clean ore
silver, gold, lead and copper, no anti
mony, arsenic or other deleterious
mibstance. No sine. They, the smelt
ers, (ire hunting for this class of ore
now.
We bave made our main discoveries
since the expert wa outin December.
About tlie I'd or 3d of January we
fmnifl the galena ore. spec-linens of
wlil.-n we had frequently found In the
dump, but did not know tlie locality
from which It came In the mine.
Then we followed the main ore de
posit up and down the shaft for about
sixty feel and laterally or sideways In
tlie old drifts for some sixty odd leet.
Tlie main ore chute evidently Inclines
' a little from the shaft to the suulli,
but still if we follow our ore now.
which might be the best policy, we
could no iloiibtt make a profit as we
went along and stand a chance of run

before, as soon as I can get awac.
weather permitting and snow witlioi t
too much exposure and personal hard
ship, which I ii ni nut hunting as much
ps 1 did ears ago. I want to go up
to the works on the olvmpla and
spend two or three days If necessary
in tracing that ore farther down tlie
sliafl. The lowest place that we have
the rich ore chute thoroughly defined
in the shaft is about 90 feet down,
but there Is n drift running south
from the shaft for a distance of about
30 feet, and about 125 feet down that
shows Nome good ore. Ry taking
t lose observation on the ore as it
lays with the different formations
above and then going down to this
lower drift I believe In less than a
day we can demonstrate a good-sized
chute there, and when that Is done
will know how far It might lay from
tlie bottom of the shaft, which is
down 202 feet. From present forma
tion we think it would he less than
fifty feet. Still, as I said before, we
have a good ore chue exposed for
unite a distance up and down the
snoft and latterally and one that
seemingly would pay well to work
with tlie probabilities of running Into
something much better. Mining men
who have seen the Jarbrldge exhibits
In Twin Falls and elsewhere, after
looking at our little exhibits here and
at Hurley, do not tiling they have any
the best of us.
About the first thing we will do
when we resume active operations
will be to clean out the old units
made by our predecessors ami
straighten up some of tne old timber
ing. Tlie last people who wodked on
tlie Olyinpla beiore we took hold of It
were leasers, who hoisted the ore only
to the surface and let their waste
drop Into and clog up the old drifts
ana the bottom of the shaft. We
cleaned out some of the drifts and tha
bottom of the old shaft, sinking it
(j iteet further, besides doing consid
erable drifting on our own account.
We also straightened up some of the
old timbering. In January we found
that some good ore had been covered
up and concealed by timbering and by
waste. All these conditions we will
remedy as soon as we ran after we
siart work again. It will not take a
new of three men and a dorse more
than three weeks to put the olympla
shafi in good condition in these par
ticulars. 1 do not see anything to
prevent us -then frnm taking nut snip
ping If we feel so disposed. We have
intht claims in the Olxmpla group,
all fully represented for tlie year IVOR,
ilia I glc us to tlie first day of
January 1911 for this year's work.
We nave done somewhere shout 6'ifl
feel of work on tlie claims ourselves
and expended In cash ahout l.i.OOO.UU.
besides free work done by different
members of tlie company, running It
up. 1 should think, to not less than a
lotal value of 6.000.00. I do not
think there Is any doubt that we
could make a good strong showing of
an amount of good work exceeding
$4,000.00 If we were to apply tor a
latent. So far as we are concerned,
however, we would rather pur oud
money Into the development of tlie
pdoporty fod awhile yet than to apply
for h patent. We have some work on
each of the claims on the group. On
tlie Baltimore group we have several
pits and holes, besides a tunnel
feet long that we think Is aViout half
way to Its ledge (1.000 feet from tha
Olympla shaft). It will probablv
cost $500 or $00 to open up this
ledge, which looks as promising as the
olympla ledge. It haji the appearance
of being A cross ledge to the Olympla
ledge, crossing on the Olympla claim
perhaps H00 feet south of the main
Olympla shaft. We also have another
ledge about 2,000 feet west of tha
Olympla shaft that shows strong (not
very high assays, yet however), on
the Colorado, a claim belonging tn
the Olympla group. The mountain
side appears to be a net work of
velna. how valuable outside of the
Olympla Is to be determined only bv
Investigation at some expense and
work. We have had assays running
from $25.00 to $30.00 from the surface
on the Boltlmore (gold, sliver, lead
and copper). Our predecessors did
more than we have on the Olvmpla,
leaving It in the condition that I have
stated. Somewhere from 800 to BOO
feet of work, as near as we can deter
mine, has been done on the property.
We are only 16 miles from the rail
road, now at Oakley. Men acquainted
with the country up here sav for
$500.00 or $800.00 expense we can con
nect with an old saw mill road that
runs down Into tlie Little Basin and
to Oakley. Hitherto the same amount
of work would have placed us about
45 miles to Hurley and to Kelton bv
way of Raft River Valley about the
same distance, probably five miles
further, hut a much betier road for a
arge part of Ihe year, silxleen miles
Is not bad. Of course when the rail
road conies down Raft River we
mirht find it to our advantage to go
to Malta or some other point on that
toad, even though the wagon haul
would be a little Ion ire r, the railroad
haul to Halt Lake to the smelters
woulfj be shorter.
We would like to sell some stock at
a reasonable price to assist in devel
opment, perhaps 40.000 or i.n.OiiO
hares, and it mav be more than that.
Might glv? vou a chHiiie to handle
some of It If you feel so dispoped or
I do not suppose would resent anv
reasonable proposition, whether wo
conclude lo accept It or not. Tha
stockholders are feeling very well
shout the property. I will mail this
letter and write you iiuciher. giving
a synopsis of tne expert's report to
send the same for the next mall; I
