The state department holds that the treaties ex- isting between Mexico and the United States and the Central American repub- lies demand that there shall civ sys be peace between these republics therefore 1t Is the function of Mexico and the United States, and it Is their right, to forcibly prevent Nicaragua from making war. The strategy of the situation as explained at the navy department Is that one vessel is to be held at Anna pala, an other at Union Bay and the Yorktown is steaming now for points on the Nicara- guan west coast. The Dubuque and Ta- coma will go respectively to Bluefields and Corinto.

SHARP FIGHT TO BE MADE
 UPON THE COFFEE TAX

Washington, March 13-(Special.) )-There is going to be a big fight in Congress over the proposition to put tax on cof- fee. In the ways and means committee the matter has been threshed out pro and con. One day coffee has been left free and the next day tax has found favor. Of course, the main object sought by the framers of the bill Is that as law it will produce enough revenue to meet the necessities of the government and tax on coffee-an article which is used in every home-affords such an easy way of producing revenue, that to some members of the committee at least 1t seems to be shame to let the oppor
 tunity pass Although the indications now are that the new tariff bill as 1t will be reported to the House will contain provision for a tax on this article the opinion is freely expressed that when the measure becomes law coffee will re- main upon the free list.

retary of State, but he came for informa- ton at the state department, as he had none himself. It is well understood however. that Mexico is prepared to send her quota of troops or naval vessels to take Nicaragua by the throat if she should disturb the peace It Is also well understood that notwithstanding Nicara- gua's alleged causes of war against Costa Rica. she is anxious to acquire Costa Rican territory and also make a lodge ment in Salvador. 1t is not, of course. understood that the United States would content itself with the dispatch of three American gunboats and 600 marines to put down a Central American war. AL formative plans were considered today. One Is to send back to southern waters in the Pacific the eight armored cruisers, which will supply In the neighborhood of 2o0o men and the other is the mobilza- tion of marines and other federal troops and send them by transports to Colon for the west coast
 The preparatio are being made with such rapidity and with the full knowl- edge of Nicaragu that 1t is reasonably certain that that little republic will ac- cept the situation and give its minister here immediate instructions to settle the Emery case.

Advocates of the proposed tax point out that when the United States first took off its customs duty on coffee, Brazil i'm medately proceeded to put an export tax on its product. Another argument is, of course, that the tax would greatly bene- fit the coffee growers of Hawaii and Porto Rico.
 On the other hand members of both the House and Senate are being over whelmed in every mail with letters from individuals and from organizations pro- testing against the proposed taxation of the workingman's beverage. These let ters are insstent and are coming in such numbers as to suggest that an organized campaign hass been started among the laborlng classes to prevent the proposed legislation, they undoubtedly having a considerable effect in arousing sentiment against the taxation of coffee, and are making many votes against that propo- sition should it he submitted by the ways and means committee.

the institution have been neglected.
The grounds, particularly on the west

neglected to such an extent that a

the summer as a private fishing resort.
Even the building that was built and
used for the artificial Matching of fish
was transformed into a summer cot

converted into a bathing pond.
Another policy inaugurated by the
new administration seems to be an abb

from the game fund. The sportsmeu
