Yes, admitted the witness.
Mr.. Kellogg enumerated the various
railroads in which the witness had bought
stock recently. including the New York

asked II those securities had been bought

would be sold or not He added that he

NICARAGUA MAKES COMPLAINT
Senior Corea Worried Over Shipments
of Munitions of War.
Minister of Central American Re
public Has Long Conference at
state Department.

The government Of Nicaragua is wor,
ried about shipments OF munitions OF war
from Salvador 20 Honduras and from
San Francisco To Salvador. from where
IT is supposed that the shipment viii be
sent on to the Honduran forces.
Senior Don Luis T. Corea, the Mica
raguan Minister, called at the State De
partment yesterday to present a dispatch
he received from the minister OF foreign
affairs at Mauagua, in which it was de-
clared that the steamship Empire had
sailed from Salvador for some Honduran
port loaded down with munitions of war.
Last year the vessel fitted out an expe-
dition In Panama which sailed for Guate-
mala. The Empire was then flying the
American flag. II has since been re-
ported that she was Sold but the State
Department is not quite sure about the
ownership or the flag now. The United
States government. however could have
nothing 10 say about a shipment OF arms.
men, or ammunition from Salvador 20
Honduras That would be a matter be-
tween Nicaragua and Salvador the latter
country being supposed TO observe the
international laws Of neutrality.
It was reported in the morning papers
yesterday that a Pacific Mail steamship.
.conficungly named as the Aztec and the
Panama, had sailed from San Francisco
for Salvador with several hundred kegs
OF powder. Senior Corea was greatly in
teTested in this report. and telegraphed
to the NiCaTaguau consul at San Fran
cisco TO ascertain the accuracy of the
dispatch with a view to making repre-
sensations to the State Department If II
proved that a Pacific Mail steamer is car
rying munitions Of war for use in HOndu-
ras. The Minister will ask that the vessel
be stopped by this government, probably
by the cruiser Chicago. which Is at
Acajutla, Salvador. The Nicaraguan gov
eminent, however. would probably get lit
tie satisfaction even If the ship is loaded
down with arms for the Hondurans.
II the Pacific Mail steamer were carry
ing an expedition which had been fitted
out In this country the case would be
different, and the government here would
have the right TO overhaul the ship with
a war vessel but there is no international
law prohibiting the commercial shipment
of arms and ammunition. The case of the
British maintaining mule camps In this
country during the BOer war is cited as
an example of the right of belligerent
10 carry on commercial operations with
neutral
Senior Corea had a long conference at
the State Department with Assistant
Secretary Bacon. Neither would say at
its conclusion that any understanding had
been reached concerning possible inter
vention on the part of the United States.
