ters. There Is a possibility that Lord
Balfour of Burleigh will reply to this
with an amendment proposing that a
change In the system of taxation of such
importance should be referred to the peo-
pie. The premier's motion, of course,
will prevail, and then 1t will be up to
the government to decide whether the
house shall be prorogued or merely ad-
journed.
The decision of the government will be
of the greatest Importance so far as the
finances of the country are concerned, as
the only authority now existing for the
collection OF the income tax the duty on
tea and the increased duties on spirits
and tobacco. rests on the resolutions
adopted Immediately after the introduce
tion of the budget. II parliament is pro-
rogued, these resolutions will come to an
end, and the collection of taxes will have
to stop. If adjournment only is taken,
the resolutions will continue in force and
the taxes can be collected up to the time
OF dissolution.
The campaign throughout the country
will be begun In earnest as Soon as the
chambers have been adjourned
Great meetings of both parties have al
ready been arranged at all the big centers
and thousands of speakers and canvass
ers are preparing to begin work which,
except during an interval for the Christ
mas holidays. will be continued until

Nicaraguan Effairs Get More and
More Tangled Daily
PUNISHMENT is AWAITING
Execution of the Two Americans Must
Be Explained and As No Expla-
nation Seems Possible There's
Trouble Ahead.

Washington. November 27.-(Specfal)
President Zelaya's complete defense, set
forth in his cablegram to Mr.. Hearst,
published by the New York American,
was laid before the state department
today.
For diplomatic and urgent reasons
the state department does not wish at
this time to make any public comment
on the attitude of the Nicaraguan
president, but It may be stated on au-
tn ority that zelaya's defense Is not suf-
ficient and that the coercive measures
of this government are proceeding with
all dispatch.
One important result to the state de-
partment in the cablegram to Mr.
Hearst is that it presents zelaya's case
from the sole point of view of defense
and yet it is indefensible, according to
the American diplomats.
Secretary Knox called on the Presi-
dent today and discussed with him the
increasing Importance of the struggle
with Nicaragua. Neither he nor tn .
President made any comment for pub
lication on the developments up to date.
1t Is admitted everywhere that the
crux of the contention between Mica
ragua and the United States, and FOR
which Nicaragua is to be held respon-
sible and Is being held responsible. is
the status of the two American citi-
zens who were shot after drumhead
courtmartial by President Zelaya.
Governments Attitude.
The attitude of this government is set
forth, according to the state depart
ment authorities in the following from
Mr.. Webster, assistant secretary Of
state:
"The law of war forbids the wound
ing. killing, impreasment into the
troops of the country or the enslaving
or maltreating OF prisoners OF war un-
less they have been guilty OF some
grave crime, and from the obligation
of this law no civilized state can dis
engage itself"
Both the state department and the
war department hold that neither Groce
nor Cannon committed any grave crime
in the light of this definition. The war
department says that even II 0roce and
Cannon were caught in the act of try
ing to blow up one OF Zelaya's ships
1t was not crime. but one OF the acts
of warfare.
The same thing has been done over
and over again In every ancient and
modern war, whether the war be regu-
larly declared or 1t be civil war, Al
in the case of Nicaragua
