IN
ESTRADA CAMP
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 13.-Because of
the renewed activities of the so-called
agents of Zelaya in the United States
the Central American colony here
was thrown into a frenzy of excite
ment tonight. These agents, they
declared, have managed to prevent a
decisive victory for the revolutionists
The principal one of the Zelaya
agents is said to be here, but of he is
he is keeping himself out of the way.
"This man. said one of the Nncar-
aguans, in discussing the agents al
legged arrival, "Is detested by those
who believe in a new regime for Nj
try some time when he was entrusted
with funds from the Estrada party
with which to purchase the arms
shipped on the Norwegian steamer
Ulrich. He did so. His good inten-
tions were not doubted until the
arms arrived in Nicaragua, when it
was found that the rifles and rapid
firing guns were useless, because the
ammunition that would not fit their
bores had been sent along.
when the discovery was made a
second shipment of arms and ammu-
milton was forwarded, the munitions
of war in this case being carefully
selected and the arms being Of the
latest pattern"
Up to late hour tonight nothing
further had been heard from Nicar-
aqua either by the state department
or the Estrada adherents.
A report that the blue jackets from
the cruiser Des Moines had been fir
ed upon by the Zelayan forces is gen.
orally discredited.
Dispatches from Bluetields and San
Salvador relating to the wholesale
imprisonment of prominent citizens
by order of Zelaya are born out by
the records Of the state department.
The records are guarded so care
fully that it is believed that they
contain a description Of atrocities
committed on the prisoners and prac-
tically in Managua, the seat of the
Zelayan government.

BELGIAN king
Near TO Death

Brussels, Dec. 13.-Leopold II,
king of the Belgians, tonight, is max
ing desperate fight with death, and
the odds are strongly against the
aged monarch. AS a last resort, the
surgeons knife will be tried tomor-
row. If the operation is successful,
King Leopold may live. If It fails,
the end is inevitable. All will de-
pend upon the kings strength and
vitality, which are fast ebbing.
rheumatism has already conquered
the aged and wasted frame. Dropsy
has developed and an obstruction of
the intestines, which must be remov-
ed, has greatly aggravated his con-
dition.
The general opinion Is that the
king will not survive the operation.
He may die at any moment. The
monarch himself, is rather optimistic
and today, exclaimed to his physi-
clan:
Operate, and the sooner the bet
ter"
But he added with a wan, wistful
smile:
"Perhaps, doctor, the long, long
journey is at hand"

their lives and seven otheds were in
jured seriously in a tenement fire at
Third and Sycamore ntreets at mid

Three OF the dead were burned to

On Account of His Record

New York, Dec. 13.-Captain Thom-
as Franklin, u S. A., twice commen-
ded by General Chaffee and General
Otis for distinguished service in
China and at Manila, pleaded guilty
today to long series of petty en-
bezzlements from the mess fund of
the West Point cadets, as commits
sary and treasurer of the United
States Military academy and was sem
fenced by Judge Hand in the United
States circuit court to two years and
six months in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ga. His counsel gave no
tice that he would apply for a writ of
error and review.
Captain Franklin had charge of the
pay checks of the cadets, which he
deposited with the United States SUBJ
treasury here and drew against for
mess supplies. The total amount Of
Of his defalcations run up to $3.50,
of which $4,831 was represented by
false vouchers.
At his first arraignment in June
he pleaded not guilty and subse-
quently demurred. The demurrers
were over-ruled and trial set for to-
day. The statute of limitations in
the court martial bars offenses COM
mitted only two years back as
against three years in the federal
courts and for this reason Judge
Hand and not Major General Woods
heard the case.
Captain T. 8. Ansell urged for the
prisoner that his client had risen
from the ranks by merit and that his
irregularities were chargeable to his
effort to raise large family on an
officers pay.
The sentence, besides the penalty
it sets, automatically cashiers Cap
tain Franklin from the army and de-
prives his family of any prospects of
retirement pension.

SPO0kS FAILED
TO GET Divorce

New York, Dec. 13.-"Your honor,
my client is gullible fool who be-
lieves In spirits and fairies," said
Abe Levy, a lawyer, before Magis-
trate O'Connor in the west side police
court today. Mrs. Maria Brandes,
middle aged woman and the client
referred to, nodded her head in as
sent.
Eyes, I am a fool" she said. II
am ashamed to say that I believe a
c1airvoyant or medium could exert
kind of hypnotic influence over my
husband so that he would grant me
a DIVORCE
This amusing testimony was
brought out today when Mrs. Brandes
appeared as complainant against DEL
ia Goff, trained nurse, and Jacob
Lamensdorf, an employment agent to
whom she says she paid $4,000 for
the novel purpose as described.
Failing to obtain her divorce she
had them arrested charged with lar
ceny. Magistrate O'Connor held both
defendants in $500 bail for further
hearing.
Mrs. Brandes recited, how, before
trying for her occult divorce she had
paid 5000 to Miss Goff in order that
a medium would influence Mr..
Brandes to give up the children. This
worked like a charm. She got the
children and eagerly launched on the
spiritualistic action. On all instances
she said she paid cash with the un-
derstanding that the spirits would
not recognize acquaintance.
