ANA; is SIGNIFICANT.

Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. 11.-This
city, the headquarters of the provision
al government, has been thrown into
alarm by the sudden realization Of
the strength of the government
against which General Estrada, leader
OF the insurgents, has been supposed
to be making irresistible Roadway. Es-
trada, apparently, has been hoodwink-
ed by Zelaya and no one would be sur
prised if the latter's troops should
appear at the city at any hour. Els
trada is hoping for timely aid from
the United States.
staff correspondent of the Assooi-
ated Press who recently arrived here
has canvassed the situation and finds it
less hopeful for the insurgents than
has been believed. Estrada is greatly
disturbed and has appealed to the
United States consul Moffat, for ma
rines from the cruiser Des Moines to
protect Americans
1t is known, however, that what lie
really wishes is Intervention by the
UNITED States to save the insurgent
cause. While General Vasques, at the
head of the handful of loyal troops,
was parleying with Estrada's ENJOYS
before Rama, it is said Zelayas main
army was marching on Bluefieds.
Disquieting reports come from Grey
town, which is said to contain a gov
eminent force sufficient to route be-
sieging troops under Chimorro when
ever the word is given. 1t Is possible
the PROFESSIONALS are unduly alarmed,
just as they appear to have been over
confident, but the situation is set forth
as 1t is viewed from the insurgents
standpoint.
Important Conference On.
Washington, Dec IA conference
believed to be of significance is being
held this afternoon at the navy de-
partment. Secretary Meyer, Assistant
| Secretary Winthrop, Rear Admiral
Wainwright and the assistant secre-
tary of state are participating. 1t has
to do with Nicaraguan affairs. 1t is
thought an important movement of
vessels of the navy is to take place.
Orders for Marines.
When seven hundred marines aboard
the Dixie arrive at Colon, where they
are expected this afternoon, they will
find orders to proceed Immediately to
| Panama and board the cruiser Buffalo
at once. This seems to indicate a
movement of consequence on the Pa
cifc coast of Nicaragua is in contem-
| platoon Orders have not been issued
as yet for the departure Of the Buffalo
but it is believed the date of sailing
will be decided upon by the state de-
partment and the naval officials be
fore the close of the day.

JANE
An Incident in the Life Of an Accom-
plished Resident Of Delaware.

New York Sun letter.
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir:
have a friend in Wilmington, a horse
weighing close to 1900 pounds. Her
name is Jane. and she is a black beas-
tic In cold weather her hair curls up
like the fuzz on grandmother astrac-
han coat. At such times she assumes
humorous express. as who should say.
Huh. I can do that any time. I know
il isn't pretty. but it's warmer" In
pleasant summer days she Is as sleek
as Mr.. Mole I'm Mr.. Kenneth Grahames
diverting story. and then she gazes
produlv about. glancing casually at the
/ heavy harness on which is displayed
in shining brass the firm name OF a
-four and feed establishment for which
she vallantly hauis loads OF susten-
ance for other beasties.
Her attendant Is a man OF blackness.
and he loves her as old Jim Bailey used
to love his engine. Jim. you know,
used to bring old No. IL in after a
hard days run, and after she was all
polished up and oiled and ready for
bed in the roundhouse Jim would
climb up IN the cab and kiss her
squarely on the throttle before he went
Old No. IL stood by Jim for thirty
five years till she was put on freight
work I'm the yard and Jim got a new
engine. That broke his heart. and
afterward the young men came in and
carried him out. So that's ell there is
: about the story.
Well, the man of blackness loves
Jane just that away. He feeds her
sugar, and he has taught her to chew
tobacco, and Jane mogs along through
Second street, chewing as comfort
ably as a Jersey COW in a sunny pas
) ture. She answers the call OF tn,
; man OF biackness as a kitten answers
; the call to luncheon. She climbs int,
her harness as we'll as any trained fir'
, horse. She follows her master like
= field dog, and che does his biddinl

E nifty of a queen following the dictatel

Now, here's what I was getting at
This morning was imserably icy as 4

apinfully through the streets. Jane
