PRESIDENT TAFT MUCH AROUSED
zelaya Must Answer For Execu-
ton of Americans.

II Washington, DC, (Special An
nouncement that this government Is
tired OF the high-handed actions of
the small Central Americana repub-
lies practically was contained in a
dispatch sent to the Bluefields
Steamship Company. which sought
the protection of the State Depart
ment from interference by the in
surgents now operating against Pres
ident Zelaya. An hour later per-
emptory note, couched in diplomatic
language, but none the less direct.
was delivered to Senior Felipe Rod
riguez, charge d'affaires of the Mica
raguan legation, demanding full
and complete explanation of the ex-
ecution of the two Americans, Leon
ard Grace and Leroy Cannon, who
were executed by order of zelaya
when they were found in the in
surgent army.
Pending satisfactory explanation
of the occurrence, President Taft has
refused to recognize Isidoro Hazera,
the new Nicaraguan minister. Mr..
Taft is thoroughly aroused by the
actions of the Zelayan government,
and apparently is determined to
make the lives of United States cit
liens much safer and considerably
more respected in Central America
, than they have been hitherto.
The attitude of the government
was clearly shown when the State
Department sent a dispatch to the
Bluefields Steamship Company, the
Headquarters of which is in New
Orleans. The company's regular
steamer was about to set sail for
Bluefields, Nicaragua, with a mis-
cellaneous cargo, counted in which
were number of rifles and other
munitions of war. The corporation
was warned by agents OF the Mica
raguan insurrectionary forces that
the vessel would be liable to seizure
and the steamship people promptly
called on the State Department to
declare the protection this govern
ment would give in such a case.
The State Department promptly re-
piled. The answer was the result
of a conference between the Presi-
dent and Secretary of State and car
ried full weight. 1t gave the steam
ship concern no encouragement and
practically recognized the revolu-
tionary forces operating against the
Zelayan administration, proceed
ing for which there probably is no
parallel in the records of this gov
eminent. The dispatch directed to
the steamship company of New Or
leans and signed "Knox, Secretary OF
State" read:
'If the announced blockade or in
vestment of the Nicaraguan port of
San Juan del Norte (Greytown) Is
effectively maintained, and the re-
quirements of international law, in
Guiding warning to approaching YES
sells, are observed, this government
would not be disposed to interfere
to prevent it's enforcement. A naval
vessel will be ordered to Greytown
to observe and report whether the
blockade is effective"
Nicaragua has been one of the
Central American republics that has
given this government more trouble
in the last few years than any other.

sway of President Castro.

Washington. D. C. Especially A
fire, which at one time threatened to
cause serious damage to Georgetown
University, started in the boiler room
of the Old North building, which is
used as the library and dormitory at
the university. The fire started in the
southwest corner of the building di-
rectly over the pipes leading from
the boiler, the pipes being almost
against the ceiling. The flames soon
spread to the library on the first
floor, and the smoke soon filled the
building. AS it was shortly after 6
o'clock, some SO students who slept
in the upper stories of the building
were aroused and with some difficulty
all managed to escape without injury
The fire was confined to the IL
brary, although a number of rooms
in the upper part of the building
Suffered water damage. The firemen,
arriving quickly, soon got the flames
under control, but a number of very
valuable old books in the library
We're destroyed. Old North building
of the university was erected in 1895
and contained what is known as the
Graduate library, and was filled with
valuable books, paintings and an
tiquities.

librarian, is collector of many rare

since 1880.
1t is estimated that the loss of the
library will amount to about $40, 900,
although the building was only slight
! y damaged. 1t was fully insured.
During the fire several exciting in
cidents occurred on the university
campus. First, a spirited team of
fire horses hitched to a hose cart
drew up at the brink of a high en-
bankment near the university. While
the driver, Ernest w. Lowe, fastened
to get the blanket to cover the
steaming horses the team became
restless and bolted over the edge OF
the embankment and fell down near.

by the bits and was whirled downs

The embankment is graded into
two terraces. When the cart struck
the second terrace the wagon pole
hit the ground and snapped off.
Lowe and the horses were hurled in
one direction and the hose cart went
in another direction to the bottom
of the hill. Neither the horses nor
the driver were injured, but the hose
cart was reduced to kindling wood.
Added to these two accidents was
another to Fire Marshal tNichoI.on.,
On his way to The fire the horse
pulling his buggy fell and upset the

accident at the fire occurred wher

had a bad fall, the driver escaping
injury.

Cherry, Ill Especially Hope arous-
ed by the rescue alive of 20 entomb-
ed men from the St. Paul mine just
one week after the starting of the
fatal fire was crushed Sunday, or at
least deferred In fulfilment, for not
one more of the 80 men caught by
the fire was found.
The day was spent in removing
bodies from the mine and in burying
the corpses heretofore recovered.
Sunday night the records showed
that of 80 men left in the mine last
Saturday night, 1913 are still missing,
while 80 bodies have been found
and 20 men rescued alive.
The fire that broke out afresh was
smothered to such an extent that ex-
plorers were able to work in the
mine, but black damp in one of the
galleries defied the men, as did cave
ms and, other debris.
1t was not even discovered wheth-
err there are more men alive in the
mine galleries, although the explor-
ers, urged by the extreme condition
in which the 20 men saved were
found, worked with almost super
human strength and rapidity.
The finding of 81 bodies and their
removal after the morbid crowd
about the shaft had thinned, were
the only visible results of the day s
endeavors.
Squads relieving each other at
frequent intervals worked frantical-
ly all night to remove obstacles >ob-
structing the east workings, for here,
if anywhere, it is believed survivors
may await deliverance.
Rain began falling, and for the
first time since the fire began there
was no one save newspaper report
ers lingering about the mine.
All day long the tolling of church
bells resounded in Cherry and Spring
Valleys. Eighteen bodies were bur-
led in a field south of Cherry. At
the mine a dozen of victims in cof-
fms awaited removal, while a score
Of collins were piled nearby for 9TH
ers that might be brought to the sur
face.
Services for the dead were held
outside the churches, into which
Coroner Malm deemed 1t inadvisable
that the bodies be taken.
From the yet untitled graves in
which the Roman Catholic dead were
placed, the priests hurried to the
mine entrance to administer the last
rites to any dying man that might
be brought up.
