eZlnyn's forces nre cornered nt Rn

cisive battle in tho vicinity of Rama.
Tho rebels Shipley stated in his
dispatch, nro better equipped and in
better condition than tho Zclnynns
nnd it is believed iii Illuefields thnt
tho impending engagement must re
sult in tho surrender of tho dicta
tor. Zclnyn isc using every strategic
movement nt his command to avert
the threatening disaster. He hns dis
patched his trusted luictennnts over
tho republic to orgtiuizc this faltering
henchmen and through tho newspa
pers he is able tojfinflucnco and is
endeavoring to ofVset the rapidly
spreading report thnt his cnuso is

dera nt Managua has reported that
Zelnyn's newt.pnpers already have
announced the capture of Rntna by
tho dictator's troops. Agents have
been to tho Pacific const, ncording
to Cnldern, to spread tho report that
Zclnyn has been successful 411 the
fighting about thnt city.
Reports of rioting find nnti-Zolnyn
demonstrations nt Managua nnd Leon
were confirmed today. Dispatches
indicate thnt Zclnyn will refuse to ro

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1C An uu
usual tnnglo threatens to nrlso ovor
tho attempts of tho United States and
Mexico to ncree upon n plan for set

Thoro Is renson to bollovo that It tho

known that Cabrera long hns boon a

to the collection of of letters pur

mysterious bandit-murderer -who for
nearly two weeks has baffled the
San Francisco police.
On tho evening of December 4, the
desperado held up nnd robbed the

stores and wound up his evening's
deprcdatibns by fatally shooting Wm.

Last Tuesday evening while two

store but two doors away. Despite
determined pursuit by a scoro o
men he escnped.
Every avilablo detective and police
officer in tho employo of the city
has been dotniled to run the bandit
to earth. Mayor Taylor has an

city supervisors to offer a reward
for the man's capture nnd Governor
