PRESIDENTIAL BEE IS
NOT BOTHERlNG BURKE
TELLS THE TRIBUNE THAT he
DID NOT SEE WADE WHILE
IN IOWA.
Thinks the Notice Will Be Good a.
vertising for State - Says Dakota
Is Not In 1t.

Governor Burke, when his attention
was called to a dispatch from Gear
Ra:oids, Ia, stating that he was AFTER
the presidential nomination at the
next convention, stated that he was
not aware that the presidential bee
had been buzzing around his bonnet.
He said that he was in Iowa CITY ana
that had Martin Wade been IN the
l.itv he would undoubtedly have call
ed upon him, as they were class
mates in college and are now person
al friends, but that much to the sor-
row OF the man who sent out the
story, Mr.. Wade was out of town and
the story of the conference has no
,Eounda ton in fact.
Governor Burke thinks the fact
that a citizen of this state is men
toned for the presidency will prcb-
ably result in good advertising for
the state, but that it is not at all
possible that a democratic or any 9th
err party will look for presidential!
timber in this state for some time to
come.
Following is the clipping referred
to in the first part of this article:
"A Cedar Rapids, Ia, dispatch will
be of considerable interest to the
r~'o-as Of Governor John Burke in
this state. The dispatch follows:
- 1~hn D. P1IrlSe of North Da-
kota took a flying trip to Iowa City
to see Judge Martin J. Wade. demo
cratic S,ational mitheenian, and
The move has oiven rise to the rumor
that Burke will be candidate for
the democratic presidential nominal
ton in the next campaign.
Burke missed the train here and
then decided to ostensibly visit his
old alma mater at Iowa City. While
there he addressed the students in
the college of law, but spent most
of his time with Judge Wade, who is
well known as power in the dem
ocratho party. j.
During his political career in North
Dakota Burke has favored many OF
the insurgent doctrines and his
friends claim this will bring him
many votes should he run. as it might
irduce many Of the republicans to
desert their own marty. However,
those opposed to Burke in his native
state, say that he has spoiled his
chances politically by various unwise
appointments, and that his inclination
to shift his politics will work against
him" Ne ss. Il /, +. * ,.. .. IL.

The state department is in some
thing OF a quandary as to what has
become of the small army, approx
mating thousand men belonging to
the government forces, which at last
account held prominent position off
Greytown. This section of the army
was until recently commanded by
General Toledo, who lately was re-
ported as having arrived at Mana
qua. The report received yesterday
from Captain Shipley of the Des
Moines at Bluefields, stated that de-
feat and surrender of the Zelaya for
ces at Rama disposed of practically
all armed resistance to Estrada on
the east coast. Whether the Grey
town contingent had previously join
ed the Zelayan forces at Rama is in
doubt. If not, it is assumed that an
other engagement at or near Grey
town, may be expected before Els
trada's army takes up it's march for
Managua.

POET WATSON
IN HAVANA
(By Associated PreSs.)

Havana, Dec. 23.-Williatn Watson,
the English poet, and his wife are
staying at hotel in suburb OF Ha-
vana. Today Mr.. Watson said that
he came to Cuba to search Tor recre-
alton and intended to study the peo-
ple and the resources Of the island.
Since his arrival, Mr.. Watson and
his wife have been engaged in sight
seeing. The poets health apparent
ly. is good and he said he was enjoy
ing his visit and was quite undeter-
mined how long he should stay, or
where he would go next. He declln-
ed to make further statement.
tern part of Nicara qua, the state de-
partment tonight extended more than
moral encouragement to the revolu-
,tionists. Under orders from Secre-
tary Knox, American Red Cross
funds are to be expended in caring
for the sick and wounded troops OF
both the Estrada and Zelayan arm
les, more than 200 Of whom are In
capacitated in Bluefelds.
This move on the part of the
United States is expected to be more
ef1cious than the dispatch of strong
force.
Bread, instead of bullets" is the
watchword of the state department
and it is generally believed that the
prospects of food and medical atten-
ton will win over more men from the
government ranks than any other
plan that could be adopted.
According to the latest reports the
medical corps of the various war YES
sells now at Bluefields has installed
hospitals ashore, where scores are
being cared for. The procession OF
sick and wounded men through the
town Is said to be pitiful, and al
though Estrada is doing everything
in his power to relieve the suffering
his resources are meagre. With a
view to relieving the situation, Sec
retarv Knox tonight consulted with
the American Red Cross and immed-
lately afterward dispatched the fol-
lowing to Thomas H. Moffat, United
States consul at Bluefields:
''The American National Rer Gross
will telegraph you tomorrow the
twenty-fourth five thousand dollars
and they will send another five
thousand if needed. Navy depart
ment has instructed Captain Shipley
to land whatever surplus supplies can
be furnished from out ships now at
Bluefelds, and orders will be given
the Prairie, now at Colon, to trans
port Immediately to Bluefields from
the stores intended for the marines
or from the Panama canal commiss-
airy department, such supplies as you
may ask for within the limit of five
thousand dollars to be cabled you to-
morrow. You will cooperate with
Ship1ey in the distribution of sup
plies, payment for all of which both
those landed from ships at Bluefelds
and those sent from Colon, will be
recouped from Red Cross funds"
The dispatch of this telegram fol-
lowing close on the receipt of a re-
port from Moffat depicting the state
Of affairs in Bluefields. incidentally
he reported that more than 900 men
were killed on, both sides in the re-
cent battle at Rama. -.
