THE STORM IN RHODE ISLAND.
 GREAT DAMAGE TO WIRES
Seventy Miles an Hour Gale at Block
 Island-Cottage Wrecked.

Providence, Dec. 27-The telephone. telegraph and transportation lines in this city. after more than 24 hours of seemingly hopeless demoralization, were restored tonight to a fairly workable basis. although it will be at least week before the army of line men can straighten out the tangle of telephone and telegraph wires to com plete satisfaction. Related reports re- ceived here during the late afternoon told of storm damage unequalled in recent years. The incoming steamer Powhatan from Norfolk and Baltimore brouPht a story of a hazardous trip up the coast. during which the steam CT was. battered by the seas so badly as to cause her cargo to shift to star board and breaking twelve storm bulkheads. Yesterday a great wave almost overwhelmed the steamer flooding the captain and nearly drown ing two persons who tried to go from their state rooms to the upper deck.
 The little steamer New Shoreham came up from Block Island during the afternoon. five hours late owing 10 the heavy sea in the bay. The gale at Block Island attained a velocity of more than seventy miles an hour and was accompanied by torrents of rain. Several fishermen's shanties were de- molished. a number of cottages were damaged and one cottage was swept clear across Great South pond. The wharf used hv tho steamer Mount Hope in the summer time was badly damaged and the ticket office and res taurant on the wharf was nearly de- stroyed.
 Tonight the suburban trolley lines running out of Providence were in fair condition. The New York. New Ha- ven & Hartford railroads line to Fall River. ordinarily operated by electric ity. could use electric power only as far as Warren and the rest of the trip was made bv steam.
 Practically all of the telephone and telegraph lines running out of New port were carried away. During the afternoon the government lines con- meeting Fort Creole and Fort Weth- erell with the city were restored. Two barges in Newport harbor were swept ashore at Brockton's cove. The Ocean drive section, which was flooded dur ing part of yesterday and today be- came passable before tonight

Washington. Dec. 27.-Sergeant James R. Reid of Company B, 25th U. S. infantry, one of the soldiers dis- charged from the army in connection with shooting up" of Brownsville. was on the witness stand before the miii- tary court of inquiry, being cross-ex- aminted by Captain James Rowland. Reid did not appear to remember much about the shooting.
 Now. Reid" said Captain Rowland, suppose you were conducting this case and wanted to find out which of the soldiers did the shooting. which would you examine frst?"
 T 'speck I'd hunt Holloman," replied Reid. easily.
 The members of the court looked startled and sat up. expecting to hear some of the much wanted names.
 "Why do you name Holloman v ask- ed Captain Rowland.
 "'Cause he's the man you folks havo been asking me most about" replied Reid with a grin.
 Attorney Marshall. counsel for tha colored soldiers. later brought out that Reid and Holloman have lately been partners ina moving picture show. and there is now some question of money between them.
 There were no startling disclosures in Reid's testimony.

 At Provincetown the sloop Bonito is at the mercy of the waves. and in the flats of Plymouth harbor are four small schooners, all of which will prob- ably be re-floated with little damage. The Palmer Had 4,0oo Tons of ocai
 for Boston.
 The Davis Palmer. in command of Capt. Leroy K McKeown of Maiden, left Newport News, December 21, with four thousand tons of coal for Boston.
 From the point at which the wreck age was sighted. the fact that none was found on Nantasket beach, it was the opinion of the life savers of Hull that if the Palmer was lost, it was either by collision or striking one of the outlying lodges at some point northeast of the entrance of the har- bor.

 T am going to Mexico City for six months" Zelaya said. If the climate agrees with me, I shall send or go for my family. If 1t does not agree with me, shall go to some place in Europe l am going to Mexico City to thank President Diaz and the Mexican of1i- cials for their kindness to me"
 The Killing of Cannon and Groce. {
 To a representative of the Associated Press, whom he received on board the SuAlDOils Z<O4niy d NdlhCO OA lllC h4lllAlE5 of Cannon and Groce and the note of Secretary Knox.
 Cannon and Groce," Zelaya declared, were engaged and brought from Qua temala by the conservative party, which was working hand in hand with Cabrera. As they never had any ground for accusing me of any in fringement of the treaty adopted by the Central American republics, they of- "a nd n Ia a ra1 n trying to instigate a mutiny and an armed rebellion in order to force the United States government to inter tene.
 "As regards Cannon and Groce, no one else in my position would have acted other than I did. Neither of these men had any property in Nicara- qua. Americans and other foreigners holding property in Nicaragua enjoyed born citizens did, and they had the advantage of not having to pay direct taxes.
 Thinks Knox Took Harsh Action.
 q think that MT. Knox took harsh action against me. believe his ob- ject was that I should resign. That is what I have done. I am only a pri- vate citizen now, and such I shall re- main. It is my intention notNo enter politics again. The report that I took command of the government forces was absolutely false. I have not and never intended to do SO"

 Troubles.
 Zelaya attributed much of his trou- bles to Harry Caldera, American vice consul at Managua. He said:
 "The United States government was grossly misinformed through this man about conditions in my country The vice consul is a member of the con- servative party and an ardent defend CT of that partys views. With the object of overthrowing my government he made false reports to Washington, and these, I firmly believe, had much to do with the note of Secretary Knox. I have no doubt that those reports led him to adopt the attitude he did tow ards me.
 That attitude, I believe, cannot but be disproved of by all fair minded peo- ple"

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE
 INVESTIGATION COMING
Mystery of the Great Rise in Rock ls-
 land to Be Probed.

Common stock of the Rock Island company rose 31 IA points almost immediately after the opening today, then, even more suddenly. drop ped to 50.. Thereby hangs mystery of a fiasco or something that the gov ernors of the stock exchange. with chara cteristic despatch, will sift to the bottom.

Flames, former president of the exchange, J. T. Atterbury and Ernest Grosbeck were appointed a committee to conduct the investigation. Conserv- ative members of the exchange are much exercised over the episode. and q rigid and searching inquiry is demand ed. with summary punishment of the offenders if their guilt is established.
 Officers of the Rock Island disclaim any responsibility for the movement.
 So much mystery and confusion sur round the movement that anything like a clear explanation seems well nigh impossible at present. During the brief session which the governors of the eN- change held this afternoon several members who figured in the buying and selling were called betore the coin- mittee. but nothing regarding the pre- liminary investigation was made pub lie. Those brokers credited with exc cutting tho orders declined to throw any light on the subject. They will be call ed 10 testify later before the investi- gating committee.

Since Last Friday Which Makes Him Free to Admit That He Don't Care to Take His Wife Back.

New York, Dec. 27.-F'our small boys preferring the story of the matrimo- nial troubles of the wealthy Brokaws to the thrills of sledding, were the only outsiders who braved the snowdrifts on Long Island today to attend the court session at Mineola. Mrs. w Gould Brokaw, who is suing for sep aration and $60,000 a year alimony did not get over to the court until the afternoon, appearing heavily clad in white furs. She and her father and sister, Miss Elodie Blair, made the trip from Westbury in a bobsled and listen ed to the cross examination of her hus- band, who denied today that the tone of his testimony on Friday meant that he was eager for reconciliation.
 Cross Examination.

 Well, I'm fond of her"
 Do you love herr" insisted the law
 Not so much as I did" answered the witness.
 "Then. how about all these reconcil- iation statements?'
 T never talked at all to the news paper men. I haven't said anything except in court"
 Then what did you say In court?"
 'I said" continued Brokaw, "that fl Mrs. Brokaw would be different and l could believe her I might take her back under certain coalitions"
 Do you or do you not want to take her back?" asked MT. Baldwin.
 Not since found out certain things which have learned since Friday said the witness, ead he said that his present decision was final.
 No Detective to Shadow His Wife.
 The witness was asked if he ever employed a detective to shadow Mrs Brokaw.
 T never did. I haven't paid any bills for detective work since before my marriage"
 Brokaw;s Private Secretary Fond oi
 Mrs. Brokaw.
 Counsel for Mrs. Brokaw inquired al length why certain persons were not subpoenaed as witnesses for the de- fense, especially Brokaws private sec retary, Byford, for long time Bro- kaw's confidential man. Brokaw re- piled that Byford returned from Flu rope only last Friday.
 Did you ever know of MT. Byford sending telegrams to buffers and ser wants inquiring about Mrs. Brokaw's movements without your knowledge or any secretary who did?" asked MT Baldwin.
 "Oh, he may have wired to ask about what was going on in the house." an- swered the witness.
 "Then we are to understand that your secretary inquired of the servants and in that way found out about Mrs Brokaw's movements?"
 well it was not done with the pur- pose of spying on Mrs. BrOEaw Ii was to find out what was going on in the house."
 He wanted to inquire about Mrs Brokaw's health?"
 Yes"
 He was very fond of Mrs. Bro kaw?"
 "Yes, I think he was."
