Much of their time is spent at the city
home of the family at No. West Fifty
fourth street, a big, roomy, brownstone
mansion facing the park surrounding
st. Buke's hospital. The two girls never
go to Newport, LenoN or other summer
resorts of fashion, but often spend much
of the hot season in town looking after
their little charges in the church mis-
sion.
These young ladies are UP every
morning at oclock-not a very fash
ionable hour, but an extremely healthy
one. Everything in the Rockefeller
household moves like piece of machin-
cry. and for years the family has sat
down to breakfast at 7.30 o'clock. The
two daughters have only one maid be-
tween them. What is more, they occupy
the same large bedroom on the east side
of the second floor. There are two small
beds in the apartment, which opens
into two large, sunny rooms-one fur
nshed in oak and the other in ma
hogany. These are the dressing-rooms.

with neatly folded letters and bills.
Both of these girls are thorough busi-
ness women. They are allowed large
sums yearly and they control the en-
pendture absolutely. Almost from in
fancy they have been taught the neces-
sity of system and method in all their
doings. They each keep miniature
set of books. have individual bank ac-
counts, and can tell to a cent just where
their money has gone for the past sew
eral years. 1t is almost needless to say
that very little of their money has gone
into the Golfers of the Fifth avenue
modiste or milliner.
The breakfast in the Rockefeller house
is a plain meal. The family assemble

WARSHIPS LEAVE.
fhe British-NiCaraguan Affair
Ends 10y the Evacuation
of CorintO.
REVISED ULTIMATUM GOES.
Central American States Com
bining Against English
Products.

MANAGUA, May 6.-The Nicaraguan
government, having through the Sal
vadorian minister at London, accepted
the modified ultimatum of the British
government, the dispute between the
two countries is practically at an end.
Orders were cabled from London to
Rear Admiral Stephenson, command
ing the British squadron at Corinto,
directing him to evaCuate the port Sun
day, and shortly after the flag denoting
that religious services were in progress
on board the warships was hauled
down, the marines, who had been
drawn up in front of the customhouse,
were ordered to return to their ships A
few minutes later
The British Flag Was Hauled Down
from the government building, and
soon. the soil of Nicaragua was rid of
the British invaders, and the long
strokes of the sailors were sweeping
the heavy boats to the warships lying
in the harbor. Hundreds of persons as
sembled along the shore to see the en-
barkation of the marines, and cheer
went up as the noses of the boats
headed harborward.
The warships were soon riding at
rhort cables, but their departure was
delayed by the tide until afternoon. 1t
was expected that the flagship would
depart with the other two vessels of
the fleet, but when the water was
high enough on the bar to permit the
passage of the vessels, only the Wild
Swan and the Satellite got under way.
The flagship, the Royal Arthur, paid
out her cable again, and this fact was
believed to confirm report that she
would salute the Nicaraguan flag when
the government repossessed itself of
the port.
Combining Against Great Britain.
Great Britain has successfully played
the role of a hawk and the furry
caused by her actions shows no sign of
subsidence. The governments of all
the Central American states and those
of several of the South American
countries have telegraphed to President
Zelaya suggesting the formation of a
commercial union against the produc-
tons of Great Britain, and also against
the transportation of Central and South
American products in British bottoms.
If such a union could be definitely ar
ranged and the terms be put into force
quite severe blow would be dealt to
British trade, and eventually the Brit
ish government would find that its
treatment of Nicaragua had cost it a
sum of money far in excess of the
smart money that she demanded from
Nicaragua.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 6. The great
uncertainty prevails regarding confed-

has received letters from the Dominion
cabinet and is considering them. Those
interested say the disagreement con-
tinues. Members of the government
party say that confederation is dead
and that the only alternative is
to accept the position of a
crown colony. The ministry
held two conferences with Governor
O'Brien, it is supposed ON the French
shore question. The governor insists
upon the holding of general election
before the question of confederation is
submitted to the assembly. The White
wayites, the government party, refused
to agree to this, fearing they would be

Nicaragua Ohicially Accepts the Ultima

MANAGUA, May g. 6.-Nicaragua has
authorized Senior Cristano Medina, Sal
vadorian minister to London and Paris,
acting Nicaraguan minister to London,
to accept the modified ultimatum of
Great Britain. This modified ultima
tum, it is understood here, was secured
by the influence and through the inter-
cession of the United States. Senior
Medina is also authorized by the Mic
araguan government to pay the 5000
sterling in London, under protest,
within five days after the departure of
the British squadron from Corinto. Or
ders for the evacuation of the port of
Corinto by the British are to be cabled
to Admiral Stephenson, and it is
thought probable that he is already in
possession of instructions to that effect
from Earl Spencer, first lord of the ad-
miralty. 1t is understood here that the
other items in the original ultimatum
of Great Britain will all be settled by
arbitration.
