Wars TO Serve Coffee,

Various are the ways Of serving cof-

milk. This kind Of coffee is said to
make the least demands on the diges-
ton. The French prefer cafe au lait

fee Mt other meals. Cafe au lat is
sometimes made by adding hot milk TO
plain coffee, but is better when made

A kitchen convenience which is not

are proper uses for the scissors, and
the use of them saves much labor.

ship EMPIRE. TRAPPED.

American Vessel Which Has Formed
the Navy of the Guatemalan Rev
olutionists, Sailing Loaded With
Arms and Men Several Weeks Agd,
is Cornered in Nicaraguan Waters
by the Marblehead.
Washington, Special.--The United
States cruiser Marblehead has the
American steamer Empire cornered
in The harbor at Corinto, Nicaragua,
and the moment the little American
vessel attempts To leave the Nicara-
guam coast it is believed the warship
will seize it and bring it TO account
for the part played in assisting Qua
temalan revolutionists.
Both the States and Navy Depart
ments have been advised of the pres
ence Of the warship and the steamer
in the Nicaraguan port, and the cab
met considered the case and is be-
lieved to have decided on Furnishing
the American ship For its activity, in
the Central American revolution.
The Empire sailed from San Fran
cisco for Central America several
weeks ago and is said toilayc carried
more than 100 men and number of
field guns and much ammunition to
the Guatemalan revolutionists at San
Hose, the steamer sailed back to Cor
into, where it had coaled previous
to going to Guatemala.
1t is charged that the Empire acted
for short time as a sort Of navy for
the Guatemalan revolutionists who
are attempting 10 overthrow Presi-
dent Cabrera and terrorized tile little
republic, which has hitherto always
confined its warfare to the land.
Nicaragua is believed to have vio-
lated neutrality by allowing the En-
pire to coal at Corinto and start for
San Jose when it is alleged that no
attempt was made to conceal the pur-
pose of The Empire nor the nature OF
its cargo.
