The countess went to the law Office
of F. NJ. Estes to ask if he had OBJ
tanned service on her husband, Count
Lowenheim, whom she supposed TO
be thousands of miles away. While
they were deIiberating methods to OBJ
tain service, the count himself rushed
in, and fondly embracing his wife,
begged her to withdraw the suit. The
countess refused peremptorily. The
effort at reconciliation would have
Terminated then and there had it not
been for the tact Of Attorney Estes.
For an hour and a half the lawyer,
used to dealing in dry legal maxinis
and perusing musty TONES, was an
sd to Cupid. The count himself was
little, relented. When at last she con
sented to the withdrawal of the SUIT
there was a quiet jubilee. The count

Washington, March 1.-THE Carib-

miral Coghlan has been ordered to
Honduras, where the revolution is as
suning serious proportions, to pro-
tect American interests. Late Friday
afternoon, Acting Secretary of the

at San Juan.

Communicate with minister. Author
lied to leave Vixen (tender) under

The navy department decided to
send Admiral Coghlan to Honduras
on the theory that a flag officer pres
ent on the scene would be in posi-
ton to take such steps as may be
necessary for the protection of Amer
lean interests without constant refer
ence to the department here. The
presence of a squadron instead of a
single ship, it was thought, also
would have salutary effect.
