MEALS MIGHT BE BETTER.
But No Graft In Canal Zone, Says Con-

Milwaukee, Wis, April 3.-"I am willing to admit that the meals might be better in the canal zone, but I do not think there is great or any degree of misman- agement on the sthmus," said Congress- man Otjen today, returned from the ca nal
 "All the members of our party, noted that the food was not quite so good as the food we get in the states, but that was to be expected. The butter and the eggs were slightly inferior and the meat was none too good, but I do not think that the inferiority of these foodstuffs was the result of graft. Improvements are being made right along in the canal zone and have no doubt that in short time the meats will be better.
 f"Mr. Rainey probably is right in sayinig that there is some trouble regarding the transportation of meats, because refrig- orator cars are not used, but this will be remedied in time"

FEW CANCELLATIONS OF RAIL ROAD ORDERS AND THE INDICA- TONS ARE THAT BUYING WILL
 BE RESUMED-U. S. STEEL co.

Cleveland O., April 3.-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 The opening of the second quarter of the year finds the Iron market in thor oughly sound condition. The one fear which has been entertained to some extent was that the railroads might curtail buy ing. Cancellations of contracts by rail- road interests have been few, and indica- tions are that buying will be resumed on an extensive scale.
 The United States steel corporation be- ing in need of cars on a number Of It's railroads expressed it's willingness to have It's name entered in the places of any companies which might cancel con- tracts for rolling stock. and this action has been an important factor in causing a more confident feeling and perhaps in checking cancellations
 The Wabash railroad, which recently ceased operation on new improvements in the Pittsburg district, has resumed work.
 Agricultural implement manufacturers have apparently abandoned all hope of obtaining the desired concession on steel bars and some of them have entered the market, contracting for only six months instead of for the year. as they have done in the past.
 The demand for hoops and bands has improved.
 Increased orders are reported for struc- tural shapes in nearly all centers. Mer- chant pipe and boiler tubes are selling In large tonnage.

ACT OF AMERICAN
 IS QUESTIONED Nicaragua Wants to Know About Interference MINISTER C0REA CALLS BoniIIa Still Surrounded at AmapaIa, But Bombardment of the Sea-
 port Has Ceased, Say
 Dispatches.
MINISTER C0REA CALLS

Washington, April 3.-President Bonilla of Honduras is still surrounded at Anna pala, so far as the state department knows, but the bombardment of the town by Nicaraguap gunboats has ceased, ac- cording to dispatches received today from Philip R. Brown, secretary to the Amer ican legation to Guatemala and Honduras.
 The United States cruiser Chicago and the gunnboat Princeton are both known to be lying near the island on which Amspala is situated and the presence of these two American warships Is supposed to be largely responsible for the halt in the bombardment.
 MT. Browns dispatches of today do not state whether President Bonilla has been offered a refuge among warships, neither do they state whether he has taken any action in behalf of the United States government to protect the fugi- tive president. MT. Brown is at La Union, Salvador, on the Bay of Fonseca, only a few miles from Amapala.
 MT. Corea, the Ncaraguan minister, called at the state department today and inquired as to what authority, Philip h. legation to Guatemala and Honduras had for his interference with the lombard ment of Amapala. Honduras, by the Me araguan forces MT. Corea's advices from his home government show that MT. Brown went to Amapala by the courtesy of the Nicaraguan officers, assuring them that he hoped to persuade President Bo- nilla of Honduras to surrender, thus end ing the bombardment of the city. The Nica-aguans consented to cease firing for twenty-four hours Before that time, MT. Brown went to La Union, Salvador, and from there he directed a protest on behalf of Salvador against the renewal of the bombardment of Amapala, saying Salvador would regard such action as a declaration of war by the Nicarag guan against the Salvadorian republic.
 It is the desire of the Nicaraguan gov ernment to learn by what right MT. Brown is acting for Salvador. Such in- reference on his part is a radical step, and all Central American republics are much interested in the outcome. State department officials have refused to dis close what MT. Browns instructions have been.

 PulajanIsm Still Exists
 In Samar.
SITUATION IS INVOLVED

Manila, April 3-The Presidents procla- nation fixing July as the date for the election of a national assembley finds a somewhat involved political situation in fthe islands. Pulajanism still exists in Samar, and, while the authorities have no fear that it will result in an insurrec- ton, brigandage In the unsettled areas still prevails. In Nueva, Ecija, Laguna, Pampanaga, Bulacan, Tayabas and Ca vite provinces the Japanese sentiment is apparently used as a pretextn to incite the people. The progress party Is not considered likely to elect it's whole ticket, as the independent party Is making a strong showing.
 Advices from the provinces indicate that the two parties methods are inconsistent, both posing as friends or as enemies of the Americans, as the situation demands. The governor of Laguna province has discovered the existence of recognized ;flatipunan, or Tagalog anti-government society, similar to that formed under Spanish rule, now headed by Dominador Gomez, name likened to that of Dr. Rizal, the martyr to the cause of the Filipinos.
 The remodeled seal of the society shows the clasped hands of Japanese and F'ili- pinos and the rigid oath of the members ends with the words "Without quarter" A factory where uniforms were made to clothe Filipinos, who wished to fight for the Japanese, has been discovered at Fay abas, sixty-two miles from Manila. The government has been informed of the situation but the facts have not been made public heer.
 Ladronism exists in the Iliolo and Capiz districts, but the constabulary control the situation, and in the Samar and Leyte district matters are improving slowly. The other provinces are only ac- tiev politically
