May Seize Custom House.
In case the Horacistas followers Of

probably seize the customs houses the
first thing. They have been raising
sentiment against Morales with mark
ed success because he maintained the

AS American citizens, the collectors
win be protected so far as their per-
sonal saftey Is concerned. but it is not
likely that Admiral Bradford's squad
ron will be used TO keep them in control
of the customs houses.
Roots Course.
It Is possible. however. that Secretary
Root may decide that he can exercise
his rights TO establish and maintain the
receivership as an arm Of this govern
ment: he may also consider any new
government rising from the present
revolution de factor or otherwise, as
not being government at all, and un-
der the provision Of the pending treaty
providing for this country's maintain
ing order may, at the request of Mo-
rales. kill off the disturbances.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the administration Is considerably dis
turbed over yesterdays developments

a prolonged conference yesterday with
