UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO MAY
PULL TOGETHER
RUMORED GOVERNMENT IS IN COM
MUNICATION WITH DIAZ CON-
CERNING NICARAGUA.
CALDERA Is REPORTED SAFE.
Little Credence Is Given Rumor That
Zelaya Has Imprisoned Vice
Consul
GOVERNMENT MAY ACT SOON.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. o.
There is reason to believe that the state
department has at last received a COM
munication from Mr.. Caldera, the Amer
lean vice consul at Managua. but the
contents Of his message have SO far been
kept n profound secret.
A report that the United States is in
communication with President Diaz of
Mexico. with reference to some Joint
action in the Nicaraguan situation, is
discredited in some quarters, but never
theless ground for belief exists that tele-
grams relating to Nicaragua are passing
between the two countries
Rumor Not Believed.
1t was stated at the department today
that it was extremely unlikely that any
official announcement of Importance con-
corning Nicaragua would be made carrier
than Sunday night. This is assumed TO
indicate that matters of consequence are
under consideration, and may be expect
ed to eliminate at about that time.
Reports which have come from Mica
ragua by way of New Orleans to the
effect that Henry Caldera, vice consul
of the United States at Managua, the
capital of Nicaragua, has been impris-
oned or suffered violence at the hands
of President Zelaya, are given credence
here in no quarter.
Caldera Reported Safe.
The state department, which is in
close touch with the situation through
the commander of the United States gun
boat Nicksburg at Corinto, who would
within twenty-four hours after such
news reached him have been on the
scene of action, has had no reports Of
the Imprisonment of Vice Consul Cal
dera.
Senior Salvador Cadtrillo. representa-
tive of President Estrada of the pro-
visional government, discredits the re-
port and declares he believes there is
10 truth in it.

BERLIN, Nov. 27.-The Rheinisch-

which is commonly described as the or
much disturbed over the American ex-
position which is to be held in Berlin
next summer. The paper today attacks
the plan as likely to injure German trade
by atfordlng Americans an opportunity
to show the excellence of American man
fractures. The paper seems to fear the
effect Of contrast between German and
American wares, and alludes to Prince
Henry OF Prussia as an agent for Amer
lean trade because the prince is a patron
OF the exposition and is chairman Of the
reception committee.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. d
Unless Uncle Joe Cannon picks his steps
gingerly in the coming session of Con
gress he is likely to slip up on the butter
Inc issue, according to some politicians
now on the ground. In fact, it is init.
mated that the congressional insurgents
would not be averse to using oleOmar-
garine to grease the skids upon which
they hope to slide Uncle Joe into retire
ment.
More information that came to light
here Friday indicates the butterine inter
ests are making an elaborate plan to
storm Congress with demands for re
duction in the tax of 10 cents pound
on artiticially colorcd oleo. Senator
IOrimer is to be generalSsimO of the
campaign and floor manager of the bill

a considerable row should develop it is
believed that standpatters might find
themselves badly split up. Senator Ior-
inner is a staunCh Cannon man, but is
bent on the reduction Of the OlcO tax.
Congressman Tawney is just as stauucd
Cannon supporter, but is dead ST.
against any tinllering with the tax. lH
less the speaker has changed his cOnvic-
tons he is opposed 10 the tax and is in
n fair way to fall out with Tawncy over
the question.
Secretary of the Treasury MacNcagh
has suggested the removal of the extra
tax on artiiicially Colored oleo, or at
least its reduction. He says that ii is
extremely difficult to detect the evasion
of the tax, which is going on constantly
on wholesale scale, he believes. The
tax on uncOlored buttcrine is Onc-fourth
of | cent a pound and the secretary
thinks the charge should be the same on
both classes of the product, although he
does not undertake to say what the liz
ure should be.
MacVeagh a Peacemaker.
Mr.. MacNcagh favors regulation re.
curing every package of buttcrine to be
labeled as such on the paper and on
the boxes, whether the article happens
to be colOred or uncolOred. Such regu-
lation, he believes, would prevent imposi-
