EXPLORER IN A REVOLT.
MANAGUA, NICABAQUA, We had been here six days and there was no sign of a revolt; in fact, the President, General Emiliano Chaniorro, had arranged for us to visit several in- teresting places in the interior, when, like a bolt from the blue, a revolution broke out.

Everybody admits that the" President" ia a strong, fearless man. By all those best able to judge he is said to be the right man in the right place, but the United States Government refuses to re- cognise him, other nations have followed suit, and this naturally constitutes a direct incentive to political opponents to foment a revolution.

Men and boys walking along the streets, were rounded up without being given time to go to their homes and say good-bye, while men of all ages were. taken from the shops, business offices, and banks and rushed to camp.
