FORT OMAHA, April s.--To the Sporting
Editor Of The Bee: The Fort Omaha team
Is fast getting into shape but Is not ready
to be classified in either A, B, or ID, but
would prefer to let future scores decide In
what class we Belong. We ask this be-
cause we will have so many men In the
lineup we did not have last season that
the future must Judge our classihcation.
Suits and accessories are now being pur-
chased and when the team is properly
fitted out we shall be faithful to tradition
by playing as many gamese as our duties
and the weather will consistently permit
Our own diamond is in excellent shape
but contrary to the sentiments Of one OF
Omaha's daiies, expressed yesterday, we
do not desire to fence IL in nor to charge
an admission fee; the game Is being fol-
lowed for purely recreative and compeu-
tive purposes and as long as there Is
standing room on Fort Omaha's grounds
for a spectator we don't mind picking up
the remains of the popcorn and peanut
bags on the following day, therefore, come
and bring your friends with you.
To the silent HOllys, and to any team
who may favor us with games In the fu-
ture, we desire to say that "rootiTg' Is
not considered the most insignificant fea-
ture of a base ball game, and wherever the
Signal Corps team plays this season, II
win be attended by a contingent that Will
root" in spite of sore throats; so don't
expect to see us play a game on our own
grounds or elsewhere that sounds more
like a funeral than a real American game
of base bali Very respectfully,
SIGNAL. CORPS.

PUERTO CoRTKz, Honduras, March q.
-(via New Orleans, April a)-The inten-
lions OF the United States in landing
marines on the Honduras coast and the
evident latitude granted them in protecting
foreign life and property Is exciting much
comment here. II has been remarked as
especially significant that the American
landing parties, not only here. but at
Celba and Trutillo, have In each instance
placed Hotchldss gun, which they took
ashore with them 80 as TO sweep the sea-
ward approach.
The foreigners believe that this means
that the United States will not permit the
ports to be bombarded, inasmuch as 30 per
cent OF the houses here and at Ceiba be-
long to foreigners.
Cannon shot fired into either place would
do most damage to foreign owned property.
II Is believed that IN these two ports
Nicaraguan gunbosts will be kept on by
the Hotchkiss guns while at Trujillo,
despite the fact that II is a Honduran
port the Honduran gunpoat will not be
allowed to lombard in any attempt to re-
capture the port from the Nicaraguans.
Both countries are treated impartlally in
this respect.
AU"tEH 0A SOAhtnah0eEs
Although the powers granted Commander
F'ullam OF the American gunboat Marietta,
which landed these parties, are believed to
be sufficiently broad to prevent naval at
tackB, yet the foreigners fear that the
Americans would not Interfere 20 stop
landing parties from charging the local gar
risons and capturing the ports. The fear,
however, that such captures would involve
the horrors Of a loot has been dlspelled, at
least for the coast towns, where Americans
are stationed. by the experience Of Tru-
jillo. There the Nicaraguan captors have
conducted themselves in a most exemplary
manner. Reports Of conditions at the in
terror towns are not so satisfactory AT
Trujiilo Commander Fullam is reported
to have summarily settled the difficulty
arising over the burning of some Of the
houses and also one between United States
Consular Agent John Glynn and the Nicara-
guans. Details about either Of these ef-
fairs are not available.

Taft of Cincinnati, brother of Secreta
ry Taft, is acting in full accord with
the desire of the latter in sounding the
state of Ohio with regard to Secretary
Taft's possible candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination in 1908. When Sec
retary Taft was shown today the in
terview given out by his brother in
Cincinnati. he laughed heartily, but de-
clined to make any statement. 1t was
evident however. from his manner,
that he had known of the intention of
Charles P. Taft to use Vorys as a sen
timent sounder.
Today an official of the government
who stands very close to Secretary
Taft. said he knew absolutely that
President Roosevelt was working for
the nomination of his secretary of war.
Charles P Taft'S announcement in
Cincinnati is generally regarded here
as the formal launching of the Taft

ADDRESS AT ABILENE kANS,
Burton Speaks to Neiqhbors and
Friends Reviewing His Case in
Most Bitter Manner.

Abilene, Kan. March 23-Ex- Sem
tor Burton delivered an address in
the opera house tonight which he hir-
ed to speak to friends and neighbors.
His speech was a bitter attack on the
president, whom he blamed for all his
persecution. He reviewed his case
and cited numerous instances where
congressman, senators, heads of gov
ernment departments represented cor
porations. He said he met the presi-
dnt at st. Louis and asked him why he
proceeded against him. The president
he said uttered falsehood when he
evaded the question and said he did
not know. He charged every witness
who testified against him as having
been promoted in Office or given i'm
munity and that at their own price
He said Judge Harlan received his
price in making the supreme court
decision, the appointment of his son
a member of the interstate commerce
commission. His entire speech was of
r most astounding nature and was fill
ed with charges against the govern
ment and president.
After charging the president, Root
and Knox with using revenue from the
government to advance their own
ends. he stated they allowed the SUI
gar trust to make a revision of the
Dingley bill. He charged Wood with
hiring agents to exploit Cuba, and
ended: mo man nor method was too
bad TO be put aside by Roosevelt, If it
would hold him to continue as presi-
dent. No crime was too black TO de-
ter Roosevelt, if its commission would
minister to his ambition.
