WORKMEN IN PARADE
DEMONSTRATION FOR BENEFIT OF
 BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
CIaim That Savings Invested in Town of WOOlwich are Rendered Worth
 less by Decrease i'm
 WOFkfnw Force

London. April 2.--"The cry of the unemployed" was raised in London to- night when several thousand skilled workmen who had been discharged from the Woolwich arsenal as the out come of War Secretary Haldane's scheme of reducing military expenses, marched with bands and banners the lcng distance from Woolwich to the House of Commons to impress their grievances upon the government.
 The complaints of the men are far reaching. representing not only loss of employment. but the wiping out of their savings invested in little prop critics located in the historical and heretofore prosperous town of Wool wich.
 Some of the discharged men had been employed in the arsenal at Wool wich for not less than thirty years. A number of printers and other trades men laborers and citizens joined the procession. which was further aug mented by a strong body of workers from the army clothing factory at Pamlico.
 The entire eight miles of march was thickly lined with spectators The procession which was perfectly orderly was halted at St. Georges circle, one mile rom Lns ffouSe or Parl1ame [, and from where a deputation of pick ed men proceeded to the House of Commons to lay the grievances of themselves and their comrades before Premier Campbell Zimmerman.
 The premier received the deputation in a private room. War Secretary Hal dane and Baron Tweedmouth, first lord of the admiralty, being present. William Crooks. member of the House of Parliament for Woolwich intro duced the deputation and the men ex- plained their grievances.
 The premier made sympathetic reply and assured the men of the gov ernments anxiety that the discharge should cause little hardship. Secre- tary Haldane then explained the ne. cessity of the reduction in military ex- penditures and the need of bringing things down from the inflated position which obtained during the late war.
 He said there must be even further reductions. but promised that every scrap of work possible would be given to woolwich. Lord Tweedmouth then promised to do whatever was possible in behalf of tho navy depart ment and the dsputation withdrew.

TUNNEL CAVES IN
TWO INJURED IN CATAsTROPHE
 NEAR KNOXVILLE.
Collision Between Two Freight Trains In l.. and N. Underpath Is FOl- lowed by Fire and Much
 Damage Results.

Knoxville. Tenn, April 22.-A DOT tion of the Copper Ridge tunnel on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, seventeen miles north of this city, cav ed in this morning The cave-in smothered the fire which had been rag ing in the tunnel since yesterday after noon about o'clock when a rear end collision occurred in the tunnel. Two brakemen were injured, J M. McCready and w. J. Moody, both of Corbin, Ky. Mccready is in the Knox vile General Hospital where he under went an operation which may enable his recovery. Moody was sent to his home this morning. his injuries being less sesrious.
 It Is estimated that about 1000 feet of the tunnel is damaged by the fire burning the wood lining and supports, and by the cave-in caused by these supports falling. A locomotive, ca- boose and three coal cars were con- suped by the flames, the remainder of the two trains being removed from the tunnel.
 Four firemen, with a fire engine and hose reel. went from this city and re- mained until this morning, but were unable to reach the fire. which was finally extinguished by the cave-in.
 The wreck was due to heavily loaded freight train being overtaken by a light running freight, the trains colliding in the tunnel. Both were southbound. The tunnel may be closed to traffic for several weeks. Mean while, the Louisville and Nashville is using the Southern Railway tracks from this city to Coal Creek, where the roads cross.

ROOSEVELT LEAGUE
INCORPORATION PAPERS DENIED
 BY NEW YORK JUDGE.
Object of the Organization is to Aid in Securing the Re-NOminatiOn os Teddy for Presi-
 dent

New York, April 22--The applica- tion of Rela Tokai and others of this city for a certificate of incorporation of the National Roosevelt league was denied today by Judge Bischoff in the supreme court. The principal object of the proposed organization is 'to aid In securing by all parties and citi- zens of parties. irrespective of politi- cal affiliations, the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself as president of the United states"
 The petition declares that present political parties and large numbers of public men. notwithstanding their pDh- lie professions, are entirely too much attached to governing the people for a party and by a party or for class and by Q class. It was to this latter portion of the petition that Justice Blschoff took exception. He took the ground that while these allegations may be proper subjects for debate. they are not proper when placed in formal articles of incorporation He therefore refused to affix his sigma ture to the document, until the im- proper matter shall have been elimin- ated.

ARE NOT PROHIBITED
ITALIAN SUBJECTS MAY GO TO
 PANAMA.
Impression that They Had Been Re- stricted From Going, Was Caused Ny Several Lectures Deliv-
 cred by Priest.

Washington, D. C., April 22-So far as the Italian embassy in this city has been informed. Italy has issued no decree prohibiting her subjects from gotng to the Isthmus of Panama to en- gage in the construction of the canal It was stated that the dispatch from Rome to this effect probably was has- ed on a misconception of the facts.
 As the case is understood here. an Italian priest returned from Rome to Panama and delivered a series of pub lie lectures in which he painted the conditions of the isthmus in an unfav- orable light. But the Italian author ities were ID possession of all possible Information on the subject. obtained largely through the ambassador here. This included the impressions of Pres ident Roosevelt, following his visit to the isthmus last fall. official doc- uments of all kinds and even press dispatthes.
 Tn speakiug of the matter today, Senor Mayor des Planches. said that. SO far as he was aware Italian citizens were free to leave the country where ever they pleased to go.

MRS. THAw's STATEMENT.
Tells of Suicide of Preachers Wife al
 Her Home.


 Pittsburg, April 22.--Mrs. Mary c. Thaw. mother of Harry K. Thaw. to- night asked the Associated Press to give to the public the facts concerning a suicide at her home here eight years ago which she asserts some newspa- pers in the East have distorted and elaborated upon. Mrs. Thaw In her statement says:
 "In the eighteen years during which I occupied Lyndhurst. it Is safe to say that the number of ministers and their families for whom 1t was a stop ping place reachea4 many scores. Among these was the wife of former Presbyterian Church of which l and my family are members.
 After her husband had resigned from that position they both engaged in teaching in a seminary in the central part of Pennsylvania. Later I heard that the wife had become an invalid suffering from nervous prostration with a tinge of melancholia. When I heard that the husband had received call from some church in Kentucky I invited the invalid wife to visit mo at Lyndhurst while preparations for leaving the old home and settling In the new were under way. believing that the change of scene, rest, medical care and careful nursing would be ben- efcial.
 T returned from an afternoon res ception one day and not finding her in the library sent a maid to her room who reported that the door of the bath room was locked and she could get no answer This alarmed us and or- dered the gardener to enter by a wins dow when the startling discovery was made that the poor woman had ended her life in the manner described in the highly colored account given in one Pittsburg and some of the Eastern papers.
 The family physician was immedi- ately sent for. The husband was tel- egraphed to. The pastor of the Third Church and his wife came and con- ducted the funeral services. The doc-. tor on his arrival said 1t would be necessary to have the coroner. The coroner was sent for and all the usual formalities attended to. Stripped of all useless verbiage these are the facts in the case"

RENEWAL OF
 HOSTILITES Peace Negotiations Are
 Almost Off. THE ATTITUDE OF SALVADOR Nicaragua Insists That Nation Pay
 Her Indemnity. Declares That Country Was As Much Combatant As Honduras And should Be Held As Fully
 Responsible.
HE ATTITUDE OF SALVADOR

Washington. April 22.-Advicee re- ceived here today from Central Amer ica are to the effect that the peace negotiations which have been in pro gress for the past few days at Amapala have come to a deadlock and 1t is feared that renewal of hostilities is impending.
 The difficulty appears to be in the Nicaraguan demand that Salvador shall be held responsible for what has oc- cured. which condition is not accept able.
 Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minis ter here, called on Assistant Secretary Bacon at the State Department to ex- plain to him the Nicaraguan position. which in brief was as follows:
 Nicaragua feels that by her inter ference between Nicaragua and Hon duras, Salvador has made herself lia- ble for damages inflicted upon Nicara- qua and financial expenses of some part of the war. As Salvador denied any such liability, Nicaragua. in order to avoid delaying the present negotia- tions for peace at Amapala, proposes that the question be submitted to Pres ident Roosevelt or to some person to be designated by him, as to whether or not Salvador is liable for pecuniary damages and, if so, to what amount.

NEW GOVERNMENT INSTALLED.
Miguel Davila is Provisional President
 of Conquered Honduras.

of Conquered Honduras.
 Puerto Cortes, Honduras, April IT, via New Orleans, April 22.-A new pro- visional government of Honduras was today organized as follows, according to telegraphic dispatches arriving here from Tegucigalpa:
 President, Peneral Miguel R. Davila; Minister of War, General Dionisio Gui- terrez; Minister of the Treasury, Gen eraI Miguel O. Bustillo; Minister of Justice, pr. D. c. Fialios; Minister of Interior. Colonel Ignacio Castro; Vice. President and Minister of Public Works, M. B. Rosales. The telegram said that this government was formed by -.ananimcus consent"
 The invasion from Salvador reported in dispatches from here two days ago has proved thus far to be of small con- sequence. So weak were the invaders that the Nicaraguan commanders did not send into the interior the troops which they had collected here for tho purpose of meeting this invasion and it now appears that all Nicaraguan sol- dies along the Caribbean coast are to be speedily sent home.
 According to the best information obtainable the invaders were all Hon duran troops which had been defeated at the battle of Chotuteca and had re- tired temporarily into the territory of Salvador. It is reported that no Saliva doFan soldiers participated.

CALLED KING BEGGAR.
Italian Monk Thought Edward Was
 Seeking Charity.

uhOMh AhOu8ut E0WHfO WAS
 Seeking Charity.
 Naples, April 22.-The King and Queen of England. who arrived here on the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, spent the day in sightseeing
 They visited various points of inter- est in the city and incidentally had an experience which amused King Ed ward greatly and which brought con- sternation to an minimizing monk
 The incident occurred In front of the church of Santa Chiara. Their mai esties approached intending to visit the edifce, but found 1t closed as the monks were taking their midday meal A member of the royal party knocked on the door for admittance.
 A monk came to the door and think. ing those outside were beggars did not trouble to open it. but called out so they might hear: "Begone in peace; there Is nothing for you here."
 This remark amused King Edward immensely and he laughed heartily. The visitors then knocked again and explained that they desired to visit the church but the Sacristan irritated at their persistence shouted out, Don't bother me; this is no time for sight seeing The brothers are at lunch.
 At this moment General Salsa. who was passing, recognized the visiting sovereigns and peremptorily ordered the monk to open the door. This he did and when he learned the identity of those who had knocked for admit tance his embarrassment knew no bounds.

 It was stated this afternoon that Mrs. Douglass had disappeared and her friends became exercised over her ab- sence. She was found tonight. how ever, at the home of her parents in Brooklyn.
 There were rumors of possible addi- tional arrests tonight but the detec- tive bureau denied they had taken any action.

 q found matters in what. under. the circumstances, must be considered a very satisfactory condition. and this is largely due to the hard work and po- litical capacity and levei-headedness of Governor Magoon. The result was that the conclusion was in effect one upon which substantially all parties in in terest agreed. There are certain ques- tions that were submitted to Governor Magoon and discussed which await de- cision by the President or by the De- pertinent after my return.
 General Barry and Governor Ma goon both reported that the order in the island is excellent and while there is a good deal of suppressed political feeling and excitement. l think there is every ground for hope that the plan adopted of taking a census and hold Ing a preliminary election and then a general election six months later will result in the selection of a President and a Congress who will be able to maintain themselves and give a stable rule to the island.
 
 holding a preliminary election are taken by the people on the island not as an indication that the American Government wishes to remain perma- nently, but on the contrary as an earn est desire to secure stable government before it leaves, so that there shall be no excuse for a second intervention with all the consequences that might be likely to follow from such an in- rnha xxriIt have sugar crop in her history. and the to- bacco crop is one of the best she has ever had.

 we left Havana midnight of We'd nesday. April 10, and reached Porto Rico on Saturday. April 14. We spent four days Tn the island and had there to consider. at the instance of Bishop Jones of Potro Rico some questions which are still pending of property between the Government and the church and also some military ques- tions as to the abandonment of cer- tain posts in the interior and the aban- donment to the civil government of some property in San Juan now used as a hospital for the army.
 We crossed the island to Ponce by one road and returned by another. We attended the inauguration of Governor Post and then brought away with us Governor and Mrs. Winthrop and Mrs Taft and Miss Ide. who were visiting them at the time.
 'On every side we found evidence of the most encouraging prosperity and also the strongest indication of the love and respect which the people feel for Governor and Mrs. Winthrop and of the great sorrow they have in losing them"
