Bluefields, Dec. 1S.-There is little
chance of fight at Rama 1t is only
a matter of time and the question of
satisfactory agreement to the sur
render of the Zelaya troups under
vasquez. Commander Shipley of the
cruiser Des Moines announced yester-
day that the United States will per-
NIT no fighting here or at other At
lantic coast towns. This is taken to
mean that Washington would even
prevent a battle at Rama if there
were chance of one. The celebration
of Zelaya's abdication continues.
Business conditions are better here
today than they have been in years.
Strong Naval Force.
The United States now has a strong
force at Corinto, the Albany. the
Yorktown, the vicksburg and the Col
lier Saturn, and besides these ships,
the arrival of the Princeton today and
the Buffalo on Monday gives the Unit
ed States a strong grip there The
force is under the command of Rear
Admiral Kimball, who sailed from
Panama on the Buffalo. With the
700 marines on that ship, expected at
Corinto Monday, the United States
will have force of considerably more
than 1000 men ready to be hurled at

IS ANOTHER CASE OF
HISTORY REPEATING
1t Is Recalled That on Death
Of LeopoId's Father His
Mistress Had to Be Guard
ed by Soldiers.

Brussels, Dec. 1s.-Measures were
taken today to guard the Laeken Villa
of the Baroness Vaughan, the favorite
and wife of the late King Leopold ii.
The feeling against her is running high
not only official and court circles, but
among the people, and in fear of an
attack on her residence, within a
stones throw of the Palms pavilion in
which Leopold died, a strong force of
military was detailed there today.
1t is the prospect of history repeating
itself that has brought about this state
of affairs. After the death of Leopold

home of Baroness Mayer. his favorite,

oness was driven from the country.
A Bitter Struggle.
While the entire nation today is Of

Baroness Vaughan, whose marriage
to Leopold in Italy in. 1908 has the
sanction of the vatican, is declared to
be ready to flaunt her connection with
the king and to force. if possible, her
elder son to the throne. The Pope is
reported TO have advised his nuncio
here to afford the Baroness whatever
protection she may need. How exten-
sive this aid is, and how far Rome is
ready to carry it, were matters of vital
interest today to the leaders of the gov
ernment.
Intends to Remain.
In the face OF protests and attempted
coercion, the Baroness has announced
her determination to remain near the
body of her royal husband till after
the funeral Not till then, she declar.
ed today, would she unfold her plans.

The Baroness Vaughan is one of the

Particular People
Regard Puritas
As a Necessity
A Safeguard of Health, as Well
as Palatable Table Water

Strange how particular and how
careless the same person may be-
Have you seen woman wash and
scald her milk dish with utmost care
then set the milk away in it uncovered?
This same woman would scorn to set
on her table anything but the purest
most wholesome food, and yet it has
not occurred to her that half the vir-
tua of her care is made ineffective by
giving her family city water to drink.
The woman who never sets an article
of food away uncovered is the woman
who looks upon Puritas as a matter of
course - necessity. She uses her
thought in setting pure food on her
table; she further safeguards her
family by giving them pure water to
drink. She gives them Puritas.
Puritas has stood the test for years.
1t is the only absolutely pure water to
be obtained hereabouts-the only water
which undergoes two Installations.
Puritas is the most palatable and re-
freshing table water, also, from the
fact that it is aerated with pure ozone

Johns, with convenient filters. Puritas

He protested against free trade with
the Philippines. Should opportunity
offer. he said, he would press an
amendment providing for the same
dutv on rice from the Philippines as

Free importation of tobacco from the
Philippines was opposed by Mr.. GrieSt
of PENNSYLVANIA. 1t was question
he said, whether that provision would
not prove boomerang to the F1lipinos,
as we'll as detriment to the American
people.
Mr.. Bradley said the Dingley tariff
on sawed lumber of 50 a thousand was
not prohibitory but a revenue rate, and
said if given the opportunity he would
vote to have it restored. He attacked
the cotton schedule on the ground that
it was solely in the interest of the
New England manufacturer.
Opposes Duty on Coffee
The countervailing duty on coffee was
opposed by Mr.. Douglas of Ohio, since.
he said, Brazil, at which country II
was directed, would be unable, without
impairing her finances, to remove her
export duty on the product.
Mr.. Rothermel of Pennsylvania, in a.
speech favoring reduction on WOOD
pulp and print paper, severely ar
raigned the Gould Paper company ana
the Continental Paper Bag company.
Rothermel quoted from testimony OF
representatives of those companies I'M
der oath before the Mann committee,
in which it was stated they knew of
no agreement or understanding among
them fixing prices, and vet, he said,
both companies pleaded guilty to in
dictments charging them with unlawful
combination in restraint of trade dur
ing the period beginning September IL,
1906, and paid fines of $1,000 each.
Mr.. Rothermel maintained that the
fines were so small it would result in
placing a premium on wrongdoing, and
also be considered a rood investment
on the part of law breakers.
The oil schedules were considered at
the forenoon sessions of the senate
committee on finance.

Gated a 40 per cent ad valorem duty on
crude petroleum and the removal of
the countervaiing duty. He declared
the former was necessary for the pro-
lection of Independent producers, and
that unless the countervailing duty as
contained in the Payne bill was re-
moved there was danger that Mexico
might remove its duty on oils and pour
into the United States all of its sur
plus.
