SOME HOPE FOR
 THE INSURGENTS

Washington, March 12.-(Speeial.) )-The democratic leaders who have been keep ing in touch with the insurgent repub- licans in an effort to secure a modifica- ton of the rules in the House, which convenes Monday, say they can obtain no information to show that there will be a democratic bolt on the part of sev- eral members of the minority in order to hold their committee places. Both MT. Clark and MT. Underwood take no stock in the stories, and believe they are is sued by the House organization largely for the purpose of influencing those re- publicans who are wavering in their sup port of the present House rules.
 On the part of the democrats and the insurgent managers tonight there is the utmost confidence that enough votes will be forthcoming to vote down the ore vious question Monday. The House or gs nization has won out so often that 1t Is perilous to predict that it will not again have it's own way, but there is an admission on the part of the Cannon forces that the fight is a close one
 It is apparent that there will be some modification of the rules, and that having been accomplished there is ground for the hope that the new Congress will start under the praiseworthy feature of taking A step in the right direction.

ACTUAL FIGHTING HAS
 BEGUN IN NICARAGUA

dente, it Is considered certain that she will overtake the Salvadorean gunboat.
 It Is said here that a second engage ment was fought either today or yes- terday According to reports the Momo- tombo carries among it's crew American officers and gunners.
 Assistant Secretary of Foreign Affairs Federico Gamboa told the correspondent of the Associated Press tonight that the Mexican state department had received tive for the past week. It is thought the Nicaragua has been cut.
 Secretary Gamboa declared that up to tonight no instructions- had heen sent ' Minister de la Barra at Washington rel ative to joint intervention in Central American affairs by Mexico and the United States. He admitted that the sit uation is grave.
 Unofficially it is declared that a pro- tectorate is being considered and inter vention similar to that which was in force in Cuba up to the present year is a pos sibility.
 Secretary Gamboa was in conference with President Diaz at the Castle of Chapultepec today and central American affairs were discussed by them. What de- cision, If any, was reached, is not known, as nothing of the conference was made public other than the admission that Gen. tral American affairs were touched upon In unofficial, but well-informed circles it Is declared that Central American af- fairs are the eve of epoch-making happenings.

Washington, March Blowing to the continued disturbed conditions in Nicara- qua and President Zelaya's failure to make serious efforts looking to the set clement of the Emery claim, the state de- partment today, by withdrawing Mr. Gregory the American charge at Mana gua and ordering the legation placed in the hands of the consul, who will have no diplomatic capacity practically broke off diplomatic relations with that country.
 Affairs in Central American have been closely watched by the American and Mexican government, both of which have now come to an understanding that the time has arrived when drastic measures should be enforced to insure peace in the Central American republics. Ambassador LaBarra of Mexico spent some time at the state department today in conference with Assistant Secretary Will son and the determination was reached that if the American warships now in Nicaraguan waters and to be sent there are not sufficient to impress President Eel
 
 between the Central American republics is to be lived up to, more radical steps will be taken to accomplish chat result. The impression was given that if need be intervention would be resorted to. The governments of the United States and Mexico, 1t was stated, are in full accord as to the policy. to be pursued to- ward Nicaragua, and are now antici- patng zelaya's further moves.
 So far as can be ascertained no of ficial information has reached here of a reported naval engagement between gun boats of Nicaragua and Salvador
 As bearing on affairs in Nicaragua the following statement was obtained from official sources
 Under telegraphic orders, issued by the ravy department an armored cruiser will remain upon the west coast of Nicaragua, pending the arrival of the Yorktown, a take that stand indefinitely and the Du- buque and Tacoma are proceeding to

Mexico City, March 12.-A private dis patch received here tonight absolutely confirms the reported naval engagement between the ships of Nicaragua and Sal vador.
 Three Nicaraguan gunboats led by the Momotombo Tuesday attacked the Sal vadorean gunboat Presidente. The latter, by a lucky shot, put the Momotombo out of action almost at the beginning of the engagement. The three Nicaraguans then withdrew Later the Momotombo was repaired and went in pursuit of the Presidente.
 The gunboat Presidente left the port of Acajutla under sealed orders and pro- ceeded to cruise along the Nicaraguan getting wind of this, ordered the Momo- tombo and two other ships to intercept the Salvadorean vessel and engage her in battle The Presidente was encoun- tered off the harbor of Corinto, but sue ceeded in getting in action first and dis abling the Momotombo The latter was compelled to withdraw and limped back to the port of Lorinto. The two vessel<- accompanying her also withdrew. Hasty repairs were made on the Momotombo and within a few hours she was ready to put to sea again. As she is faster and better equipped ship than the Presi-

mferUenfi0n May Come
 m Central America
Mexico Tired of the Antics Performed by Her Fiery Little Neghbors the South and Is Constantly in Hot Water Owing To the Political Intrgues That Are
 Always On Tap.

Mexico City, March 12.-"Conditions in Central America are becoming so intol- erabe as to be a menace to civilization It is a question of but a few weeks at the most when Mexico and the United States will be compelled to intervene in the affairs of at least three of the re- publcs and bring them to realiza- ton of the pledge signed by them at the recent peace conference"
 This is the summing up of the Cen tral American situation by a high Mex ican official who, for obvious reasons, refused to allow his name to be associated with the quotation.
 It is generally reported here that Mex ico and the United States are in com plete accord as to the proceedings to be taken within the next few months. In tervention being apparently inevitable, it is understood that the United States will take the initiative, Mexico backing up that country with moral support alone.
 Today the government organ, El 1m- parcial, issued a bulletin on a reported naval engagement between the Nicara- guan gunboat Momotombo and the Sal vadorean warship Presidente. The fight is said to have occurred off Corinto but as yet there is no official confirmation of the report, and there fs--aow dis position to dscredit the rumor. Fele grams received by the emigrado colony here, however, indicate that if the en- gagement has actually taken place 1t will be but a matter of few days before the clash comes. According to the dis patches President Zelaya has determined to wage war on Salvador in spite of the United States or Mexico. The republics of Honduras and Guatemala will inevit-

NEGRO WILL SWING
 IF HE IS CAUGHT

Pensacola, Fla, March 12.-Citizens of Chumuckla, Santa Rosa county, are securing the surrounding territory in an effort to apprehend an unknown negro who assaulted Miss Ruby Penton, the 1S- year-old daughter of a prominent family near there this morning. according to news received here at 8 clock tonight.
 Miss Penton was attacked by the ne- gro in her home few minutes after her parents had left in a buggy for a shore drive. The negro is said to have choked her. accomplished his purpose and fled, leaving her unconscious
 If the negro is caught it is likely that a lynching will follow.

cruise on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua and in the neighborhood of Honduras.
 From inquiries made in official quar- ters 1t is inferred that these orders are related to disquieting official reports upon the political situation in Nicaragua as af- fecting neighboring republics. Various re- ports give rise to the apprehension of warlike activities on the part of Nie- aragua, variously surmised to be directed against Costa Rica and Salvador.
 Under the conventions signed at the Central American peace conference at Washington in 1907 the neutrality of Honduras is guaranteed and each republic Is pledged not to interfere with the gov ernment and the solidarity of the others. This conference and these conventions, having been brought about by the United States and Mexico, whose geographical proximity and political interests compel them to be vitally interested in the peace of Central America, impose upon those two governments a moral right and oh- ligation which makes it impossible for them to escape grave concern in a stua- ton like that reported. It Is understood that the two governments are exchanging views as to the steps which they would be compelled to take if the present dis appointing and highly unsatisfaction sit- uation should fortunately develop and meanwhile they are observing events with real care.
 "T'he reported turbulence at Managua may account for the fact that the gov ernment of Nicaragua has thus far failed to make serious efforts to carry out an agreement made with the United States more than two years ago for the settle ment of the celebrated emergency case.
 'It will be recalled that some months ago MT, Coolidge, minister to Nicaragua, whose acts has been fully approved by the department of state, insisted upon re- signing, owing to the futility of further negotiations In fact the situation at Managua is becoming such that the de- partment has now ordered Mir. Gregory, the charge daffares, to return home up on leave of absence to make a report to the department upon the situation the legation remaining in charge of the con sul. who will have no diplomatic capacity.
 "Mr Espinoza, the minister of Mica ragua at Washington, will thus be the official diplomatic channel between the two governments for the present Mir. Gregory whose conduct under very try
 ing circumstances has met with teh ap- proval of the department, will, 1t is un- derstood be shortly promoted to another post"

 In this connection, an edito,o which appeared in todays issue of 1exican
 Herald, and which is loo ssf dpon in some quarters as having, z inspired by the government, is CT something of sensation. The e, advocates the annexation of Centr. America by : Mexico and intimates that such culmin- ation of the question would not meet with disapproval of the United States. In this connection, the editorial says:
 Mexico, though she has oo-operated by her good offices to the maintenance of peace and the settlement of disputes in Central America, might hesitate at armed intervention. But we believe that the best interests of civilization and hu-
 manity would be served by the exten- sion of Mexicos southern border to Pan anna. Under the Mexican flag the people of Central America would enjoy happi- ness and prosperity to which they have | long been strangers, and the resources 1 of their territory would be developed on a scale hitherto undreamed of under the sound administration which Mexico would afford.
 There are duties which nations and in- dividuals would gladly shirk. but as the attempt to elude responsibility Is ever unworthy and IS apt to pc IolloWeu Dy consequences worse than those which It
 was sought to avoid, prompt and decisive action proves In the long run the best l policy.
 "One thing is certain. and that Is that 1 the undesirable condition that prevails i in Central America cannot be allowed to I continue unremedied. The European pow l CTS consider themselves bound by the | claims of humanity and Christian civili- | zation to intervene in behalf of popula- i tions enduring the evils of misrule and | the standards of international conduct i ought to be at least as high in the new
 world as in the old"
