Second Note Was Sent.
Unless Nicaragua and Honduras speed
iiy agree to arbitrate their difficulties
in response to the suggestion of the
United States and Mexico. it IS not i'm
probable that Intervention will be resort
ed to in order to bring to an end the
present state of hostilifies. It became
known today that within the last day or
two second note was sent TO the pres
idents of Nicaragua and Honduras, in
effect conveying this threat. No replies
have been received. and while in off,
cial circles the hope is expressed that
further bloodshed may be aversed. there
IS an underlying belief that Il will be
necessary for either the United States or
Mexico to step Ia and force an arbitrx-

Special Pleading.

Some men have been going about here
telling the people that this bill will not
produce the building of a single ship. Let
me tell you that these contracts cannot
be awarded until there is proof that there
are at least twenty-seven new ships built
absolutely from the ground up and that
they are approved by the navy depart
mont as capable of travelling sixteen
knots an hour in continuous service built
in American ship yards and manned BY
American sailors. This will drive out of
the contract every ship of the Hartman
line. There is not one ship of the Har-
rimsn line one ship of the Jim Hill
line that can go sixteen knots an hour
under any pressure that can be put upon
it,. So we simply propose to extend our
