New Orleans November 2S.-Contribu- tions to the revolutionary cause in Nc- aragua have been literally made by the business interests of that country, ac- cordlng to Consul General Sussman, of- ficial representative of General Estrada at New Orleans. The consul declared that he had received advices today stat ing that ample financial support of the insurgent movement had been vouch- safed by large industrial and commercial interests of Nicaragua, which had been extortionately taxed by zelaya.
 Tt has not only been the large en- terprises that have felt the oppressive hand of President Zelaya," the consul declared. There have been many in- stances of petty injustices and extortion. Near Managua there is little lagoon in which the Indian women have been wont from time immemorial to wash their clothes. One day. without warning, an official proclamation was issued stating that a. company had been formed which would charge the women a comparatively large sum per day for the privilege of using the water. Payment as demand ed was made because there was no other available water supply"
 Inquiries at the hotel at which Luis F. Corea, former Niearaguan minister, had been stopping since his arrival here, led to the information that he had left as his forwarding address the office of the Nicaraguan consul here. Among the

Dr. Cook m Retreat Near Ne1p York City
 To Take Long Rest

New York November 2S-rhey found Dr. Frederick A. Cook tonight. That is an authoritative statement issued by his brother. W. l.. Cook, saying that the explorer, who mysteriously dropped from public view yesterday, was still in the vicinity of New York and recuperating. He was on the verge of a nervous break down and his retirement was absolutely necessary.
 The statement, as issued by MT. Cook. follows
 'Dr. Cook is in the vicinity of New York, trying to get a much-needed rest. If he decides to go to Europe there will be no secrecy concerning his departure I think that his friends and critics alike should be charitable enough to allow him to rest until his health is fully restored. He has not been reading the newspapers in the last few days and Is not respon- sible for the statements that have been issued by those who were acting as his spokesmen.
 "In sending his data to Copenhagen Dr.. Cook has fulfilled his obligations to the public"
 The foregoing was issued by the ex- plorer's brother, in view of the fact that the doctors apparent seclusion caused great anxiety among his friends, leav-

Such ship ments may go forward on the Utstein. which will probably arrive here the lat ter part of the week. or on some other vessel" The Utstein was the steamer which carried to the revolutionists from New Orleans a large supply of arms and ammunition several days ago.

ing even John R. Bradley. his financial packer. puzzled and exasperated- Mrs. Cook is also in New York, but her exact whereabouts, as in her husbands case, has not been announced.
 Friends of Dr. Cook, who are grieved over the turn his affairs have taken of late. undertook to explain the situation today in this wise;
 Tt is true" they say, that the doc tors fears have been greatly worked on by the belief of some of those with whom he associated that there exists a plot to steal his records and even to spirit him away in person. He even engaged two private detectives to shadow his sup posed shadowers. Mrs. Cook and those in her confidence felt that this atmos- phere was not good for the doctor and arranged to have him conveyed into se- ciuslon
 The doctor intended no mystery. All that aspect of his affairs has resulted from the announcement made by MT. Wake, who has not seen Dr. Cook for a week and merely acted on presumption that he was to sail on the Caronia."
 Dr. Cooks health Is the matter of great concern among his friends whom he has left in the dark. Prior to his sudden retirement he was reported on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and 1t is as- stunned by some that the necessity of ab- solute rest may have compelled his wife to insist on his secrecy until he has recuperated.

MAXIMUM TARIFF
 RATE ENFORCED

Washington. November 2s.-tSpecial)- The treasury department is bravely standing by the spirit of the Cannon Aldrich faction in it's interpretation of the tariff act and there are few cases in which the maximum rate Is not en- forced. A case has just come before the department relative to the duty on iml- tation pearls. The collector Of customs at Providence decided that pearls on wire should be assessed at the rate or 20 per cent ad valorem, as imitation precious stones for use in the manufac- ture of jewelry." At tho port Of New York similar merchandise was assessed ait 30 per cent ad valorem. being classined as a manufacture of which paste is the component material of chief value
 The chairman of the board Of general anpraisers at New York was in doubt and asked the treasury department to reconcile these conflicting decisions. The experts here decided that as pearls on wire are used for jewelry purposes and are, in fact, parts of jewelry. they are dutiable at co per cent ad valorem

AMERICAN TARIFF TO BE
 HANDLED BY REICHSTAG

geois party have shown marked weakness before their constituencies.
 The deliberations in the reichstag are expected to touch American affairs. Va rious points of the American tariff are sure to be discussed in some form, even if no treaty or tsriff agreement is pre- scented for ratification.
 In the wide range allowed on debates the pan-German members are likely to criticise the recent declaration of Count Bernstorff. the German ambassador at Washington, of the aims of German policy which amounted to renunciation of fur ther colonial ambitions.
 American trade affairs probably will also be brought up in the discussion over the bill taxing potash exports below syn dicate prices, unless the American hold CTS of contracts with the independent mines in the meantime compromise with the potash syndicate.

Washington, November 2S.-The Nicara- guan insurgents are now engaged in what is expected to be the final grapple with Zelayan forces, according to unofficial ad- vices tonight reaching Salvador Castril- To, the representative here of the insur- rectionary forces. The advices indicate that fighting is in progress both at Rama and Greytown, and that general assault on Managua. tho capital. will follow.
 The arms and ammunition landed early this week from the Norwegian steamer Utstein are believed to be in the hands of the revolutionists and prompt use, of them by Estrada's forces is expected.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-11-29

i. Senor Castrillo pointed out tonight that Vt will require less than three days to transport the munitions from Bluefields, where the Utstein landed them, to Rama, and that as soon as his compatriots were supplied, immediate conflict with the gov ernment troops was inevitable.
 The department of state tonight de- clared it had received no advices of any kind from Nicaragua. All inquiries as to the landing of marines on Nicaraguan territory were met with evasive replies, but these were such as to give rise to the belief that some force has been put ashore to protect American interests and to re- connoiter. Just how large this force may be or how long it may be intended to keep them there could not even be guessed.
