REVOLUT|ON|STS
ARE FAVORED
Government Hopes In
tervention Will Not
Be Necessary,
WHY ACTION DELAYS
BY Sun Leased WIRE.

BY Sun Leased Wire.
Washington, Nov. 24.-Officers of the
state department are hopeful that the
crisis in Nicaragua will gradually
work out its own solution so that it
will not be necessary for the United
States to intervene.
-Fhe government hopes that the
moral support which it is giving to
the revolutionists will aid them in
their campaign against Zelaya. 1t is
believed here that the present delay
will operate to the advantage of the
revolutionists who are said to be
gaining strength daily.
The navy department has practical
ly completed it's preliminary arrange
ments for any punitive action that
may be taken against Nicaragua. The
marine detachmCnts at the Philadel-
phia are prepared to embark at a mo-
ment's notice.
In addition the gunboat Vicksburg
is at Corinto on the Pacific side and
the cruiser Des Moines is on her way
to Greytown on the Atlantic coast OF
Nicaragua.
The cruiser Tacoma and the gun
boat Marietta will arrive at Port
Limon, Costa Rico, within the next
few days.
The state department, it is su1mised,
is delaying decisive action in the crl-
sis, not only for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning further information regard
ing the execution of the two Ameri-
cans, but in order to allow oppor-
tunity for the development of public
sentiment in this country to support
the administration in a program OF
drastic action if it is found that Groce
and Cannon were executed without
proper justification.
So far there has been no great de-
mand from the press and public Tor
the punishment Of Zelaya.
The department received no con-
firmation today of the reports from
Colon that twenty Americans were
imprisoned in Greytown.

ladder and found a heap of bodies
near the east end estimated at 80 or
100. The explorers counted up to 30
bodies and were compelled to fee on
account of the poisonous air.
The dead miners in the third vein
were near the air shaft where they
had constructed wooden fans and other
wise struggled against approaching
death.
ON a little piece of slate found by
the side of one OF the bodies, had been
written: 1--WE are all here together,

There were only S5 men in the third
vein when the fire started in the mine.
II is not thought possible that more
than this number are dead in the low

iieved TO be in the east end OF the sec

the mine extends eastward for more
than a mile and ii is said that the
bodies are behind number of falls or
cave-ins.
The danger OF the fire working
through the coal deposits in the sec
ond vein and up the face OF the main
shaft is increasing hourly.
Captain Corrigan has discovered
thar the fire has eaten it's way through
the coal at a depth OF several feet
from the face of the main shaft and

extent or intensity of which cannot
be estimated, may also ignite a large
pocket of imprisoned gases on the sec

There was another step taken in the

former Under Sheriff Charles NJ. Mason.
brought by Mayor Jacob Haussling,
when, the latter's counsel, Edwin G..
Adams today fled a replication and
demurrer OH his behalf in the county
clerks office. A day for argument be-
fore Judge Adams will be set later.
Mason had pleaded that when he
made his speech in the New Audi
toriun1. during the last campaign,
when he abused the Mayor, that the
occasion was a privileged one, and to
this the new papers now filed demur.
At the same time 1t is set forth with
legal verbosity that the plaintiff should
not be debarred from maintaining the
actions "as the defendant did commit

ENGINEERS, WHOM
MAYOR APPOINTED,
SUBMIT DOCK. PLAN
Reports of G. S. Greene and H.
S. Adams Differ from
Each Other.
ADAMS WOULD MAKE
CANAL COME NEARER CITY
Only Fear Is that Jersey Central
Railroad May Demand
Heavy Damages.

George S. Greene and Henry s.
Adams, the, two engineers appointed
by the Mayor to investigate the sub
ject of the proposed ship canal. sub
mitted their report to him today, franz
ing it on the lines indicated in the ques-
tions outlined by him some time ago
when there was some doubt in the
minds OF the engineers as to what the
scope of the investigation was to be.
The report was accompanied by q
plan, drawn by Mr.. Adams, who does
not believe that the plan suggested by
the Advisory Dock and Reclamation
Commission is the best that can be
followed. His plan would make the
canal come nearer to the city, if that
plan can be followed without too great
expense. The hitch lies in the fact that
the Central Railroad of New Jersey
may object to having the canal run
under It's tracks without the payment
of heavy damages by the city.
Mr.. Greene. on the other hand, ap-
proved the commissions plan.
The chief differences between Mr.
Adams's plan and that of the commits
sion are as follows:
The Two Plans.
The commission plan fills an area
1000 feet wide, 3,400 feet to 1000 feet
long. 100000 to 100000 square feet;
Mr.. Adams's plan fills an area of $780,
600 square feet. The commission plan
makes the wharfage s,400 to 1900 feet
on a basin $50 feet wide; Mr.. Adamss
plan calls for 5000 feet wharfage on a
basin 500 feet wide, and obtains an en-
trance of 1S0 feet. The commission
plan requires bulkheads or dykes; Mr.
Adams's does not. The commission
plan makes the centre of the reclaimed
area $500 feet by way of the proposed
street from the Pennsylva ala and Le-
high Valley railroad crt ssing; Mr..
Adams's makes it $500. also making
300 feet less haul. The commission
plan makes the filed land adjoin only
one railroad; Mr. -Adams's three rail-
roads.
BY the commission plan the layout
shows only large factory sites: Mr..
Adams's allows for large and small.
The commission plan makes it AS miles
from the shore to XIII Won Kull by
channels: Mr.. Adains's plan 3ss. The
commission plan places the mouth Of
the canal at right angles with the
shore: Mr. Adams's at an acute angle,
to get the benefit of the securing effect
of the tides.
The report will be sent by the Mayor
to the Board of Works at it's meeting
tomorrow
