Il NEW DIPLOMACY" "

Peace ENJOY Here.

Washington, Dec IA brand new
diplomacy on the part Of the Japanese
people to dispel all thought of war be-
tween that nation and the United States
had its first hearing tonight. Masuji
Miyakawa was the unofficial diplomat.
without credentials and without respon-
sibility TO any of the usual authorities
TO which diplomats bow This new
diplomacy was embodied in a lecture on
Japan, delivered here this evening for
the first time in the United States. Mr..
Miyakawa will visit many other cities.
One feature of the lecture was reso-
luton adopted by the school children Of
Toxic. in which they declared they would
never raise a sword against the United
States, and would emulate the example
of the boys and girls in the public schools
of America
Mr.. Miyakawa explained that before
the wars with Russia and China the
school children had been taught that
they would have to fight for Japan
against those enemies. The lecture was
prepared with the approval of leading
statesmen of Japan, and it's purpose is
to promote in this country a friendly
feeling toward Japan.

Dr. l. H. CabelI, of Chillicothe, Mo, who
claims direct descent from President
Monroe the vaults of the United States
Treasury contain a strange treasure
which has been there unnoticed since
1925.
Dr. Cabell has written to Senator
Stone making claim for it. The doc
tor says that in 1895 the Emperor of
Japan made a gift to President Monroe
1t came in the form of cask. which
contained. according to DR. Cabeu,
pearls, diamonds, altar of roses and a
lump of gold"
While Congress was authorizing the
President TO receive the gift il was for
gotten and has been in the Treasury
vaults since. DR. Cabell says he is the

RUSH MORE M4RINES.
Buffalo Ordered to Corinto-
americans ASk Protection.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE cruiser
Buffalo. now at Panama with seven hun
dred marines on board. was ordered this
afternoon to sail at once for Corinto.
This action was taken as the result of
a telegram received from the United
States Consulate at ManagUa, in which
it was said that as Zelaya in his mes
sage resigning the Presidency had made
unpleasant references to Americans,
and owing to a report which was cur
rent in that city 70 the effect that civil
ian adherents of Zelaya had been armed
with daggers, the citizens of the United
States living in that city have appealed
to the consulate for protection.
Another telegram from the consul at
Managua says it is currently rumored
there that when Madriz arrives pre-
sun?ably tomorrow, Zelaya will for
maIly surrender his office TO the National
Assembly, and that this body has al
ready received instructions from Zelaya
10 cast its vote for Irias President Of
Nicara qua.
This rumor is directly at variance
with the understanding here, based on
dispatches from Nicaragua, to the effect
that Madriz would receive the support
rot only Of Zelaya himself but Of his
faction. The conclusion of the United
States officers at Managua is that by
the selection of Irias Zelaya would still
retain his hold on power and continue to
dominate the situation
This change of front on the part Of
Zetaya causes no great surprise to the
oficials here, it being we'll known that
both Irlas ana Madriz have long been
regarded as Zelaya's willing tools. and
It mas been suspected for some time that
Trias was really Zelayas first choice for
the Presidency and Madriz the second.
The hurry orders sent to the Buffalo TO
nroceed at once TO Corinto may have
some significance other than that stated.
as her arrival there is looked for on the
dav Madriz is expected 10 arrive in Ma
Iagua-
Whether the aeyen hundred marines
on the arrival of the Buffalo at Corinto
will be placed under the orders of the
Tinted States Consul at Managua does
not appear but il is assumed that the
commander of the Buffalo will take such
steps as he may deem necessary under
his general instructions TO protect Ameri-

James P. McNichol. Republican leader Of
the city, at the banquet given by him
to the workers of the 10th Ward last
night, made the startling statement that
he had proof enough to satisfy himself
that the crowd which marched on his
home in October. 1905. was inspired by
a man who is now a member of the Com
mittee of Seventy. and that the deaths
of his wife and mother-in-Iaw were the
result OF the crowds presence on that
evening
My wife and children were in fear Of
bodily harm that night" he said. "and
TO two of the members of my home the
shock was so great that it drove them

time. That nights occurrence also took

woman in the world, who passed away
last summer
John c. Winston, chairman Of the
Committee Of Seventy, said this after
noon:
II don't believe that any member of
the committee either inspired the demon
stration at Senator McNichors house in
l905 or would have countenanced it, AS
matter of fact, the demonstra ton in
front OF his house had no leader or in
stigator. 1t was simply a crowd of men
and boys who could not get into po-
ltical meeting being held in the Acad-
emy of Music and hardened to an ire
sponsible suggestion from somebody that
they march on Senator McNichol's s
home"
