America to Enforce Uncle
Sans Demands.

Washington, Nov. 22.-It remains
for the next day or two to show
whether the relations between Nicar-
aqua and the United States, now
strained almost to a breaking point,
are to be snapped off short. This gov
ernment has not accepted the explana-
tion of Nicaragua regarding the exc
cution of Groce and Savage, and the
state department is pressing for rea-
sons that prompted President Zelaya
in putting the two Americans to
death. Secretary Knox is acting with
full approval of President Taft, and
American cruisers are speeding to-
ward Nicaragua.

MONEY LOANED ON
TOBACCO AT PRISON
English as it is Written in the WiIds
of Texas by Men on Convict

San Antonio, Texas, Nov 23.-Not
all the work of the committee now
investigating the Texas penal system
is depressing and unedifying as the
following notice posed up at one of
the prison farms will attest. Whether
the writer knew much about Chaucer
or not is hard to say. At all events,
the English used is Chaucerian
enough. The notice shows that high
finance of kind is not totally un-
known at the prison camps and reads:
"Intreste wee lone money on tobacco
and wee lone also tobacco on money
here is our termes wee let you have
two plugs on a dime and allowe you
to redeame it in eight days for three
plugs and half wee let you have one
plug for fourther information con-
suite George l.. Smith, general agent
the prison lone and trust company
AS contribution to Jail literature
this should find place in the annals
of modern beaux letters.

HOPE REVIVED
At CHERRY
Two Hundred Men Believed
to Be Alive in Remote
Workings
NO MORE BODIES FOUND
Searchers Able to Pass Far Into
the Unexplored
Galleries.

Cherry Ill, Nov 22-Two explor-
ing parties in the St. Paul mine early
today found indications to lead them
TO believe that a large number Of liy-
ing men are still in the last workings
The searchers were able to pass far
into the galleries and their hope
springs from the fact that where they
expected to find a large number of
dead none were found. Nearly two
hundred men are still unaccOunted for
Tidng of this discovery were relayed
rapidly TO those waiting in the chill
ing rain and snow about the mine
shaft and the hope which had receded
to the lowest ebb was revived. There
are a number of Scotch miners still
in the mine, and faith in their ability
TO take care of themselves and com
panions is now held by the mine Off
cials as we'll as relatives of those who
are still down there
Rescuers coming to the surface at
noon reported that live rats had been
discovered in the newly explored por-
tion of the mine. This has increased
the hope that the men are alive Re-
ports that the work OIL rescue is being
retarded by a conflict of authority be-
tween the coal company and the
state officials resulted in a serious
conference last night. Captain Lati-
mer of the National Guard, went to
w. W. Taylor, manager of the com,
pany, and told him that if the reports
that work is being hampered by
conflict of authority is true, Cover
nCr Deenen will be asked to appoint
a supreme authority at the mine. Man
aged Taylor assured the officer that
nothing but technical conflicts had
taken place.

Nothing Official From Washington.
Washington D. c., Nov 22.-No Of
fetal confirmation or denial could be
obtained here of the report that Judge
Ira A. Abbott of Albuquerque, had been
decided upon to succeed Governor
Curry on March / next year. The i'm
preston is gaining ground here that
there is a disposition to put off the Sc
lection until next January On account
of differences of opinion that have de-
veloped over the matter between Post
master General Hitchcock and Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger. 1t is
known that several candidates have
been considered seriously at the White
House and their records examined and
that as a result, Territorial Secretary
Nathan Jaffa would be selected were it
not for the fact. that secretary of the
interior believes him to be too Valu-
able a man in the position he now
holds. However, Mr.. Jaffa's chances
for appointment are the best of any
thus far mentioned.
