PRAIRIE STILL IN THE MUD
Transport Being Lishtered in Effort to
Float Her.

Philadelphia, Dec. 6.-The transport
Prairie, carrying 700 marines and a
cargo of equipment to be used in a
possible campaign in Nicaragua, is
still stuck in he mud at Pea Patch
island, thirty-five miles from his city,
where the vessel grounded early
Thursday night. The lightering OF
the vessels coal and stores continues
without interruption. The ammunition
is also being unloaded, and, because
of the dangerous character of the con
tents of the ammunition boxes, this
work is proceeding slowly. The ma.
rines have not yet been taken off, but
they probably will have to be set
ashore.
The Prairie is almost q quarter of &
mile out of her course, rivermen de
clare, and they say the entire cargo
may have to be taken out before tugs
will be able to float her. The Prairie
is SO hard aground that it is expected
that she will have to be brought bac.
to the navy yard here for survey.

PUT 1T UP TO CONGRESS
Taft Will Send Message on Nicaraguan
Situation.

Washington, Dec. 6-There seems
to be little doubt that the president
will lay before congress at an early
date the facts as to the Niearaguan
situation, with a view to receiving au
thority for any further steps he may
see fit to take in the interest of Amer
leans resident in that country and with
a view to putting an end to the inter
minabIe strife in Central America.
The opinion of indemnity for the
killing of the Americans, Cannon and
Groce, is still held in allegiance and
there is reason to believe that no de.
mand will be made until the issue be.
tween the Zelayan government and
the revolutionists has been settled. 1t
is the view of the United States that
there is at present no responsible gov.
ernment in Nicaragua.
When the proper time comes, it is
stated, there will be no waste of time
in seeking reparation. Should the Ze.
laya government prove successful
there is no doubt that the money de
manded for the killing of the Ameri.
cans would far exceed the amount re.
quired in case of the success of the
revolutionists, who are in no way re-
sponsible for the outrage.
Gunboats Can Handle Situation.
With the arrival at Corinto possibly
of the cruiser Albany and the gunboat
Yorktown from Magdalena bay the
United States will be in a position tC
take as aggressive steps as any occa
sion may demand for the protection OF
American interests along the Pacific
coast of Nicaragua.
Together with the assistance of the
gunboat Vicksburg the three warships
will have a quota of fighting men Of
