Six Vessels to Be Kept in Central

Orders have been issued at the Navy
Department contemplating the temporary
station at Central American ports of the
Albany, South Dakota and Colorado.
They are to relieve the Yorktown. Califor-
mia and Washington, which will proceed
north for target practice and maneuvers
This will leave about six United States
war vessels in Central American waters
stationed chiefly at Nicaraguan and Hon
duranian ports, thus indicating the belief
of the administration of the necessity of
maintaining a strong force for any serv-
ice that may be required. Conflicting re-
ports reached Washington from the naval
commanders on the west coast as to the
probability of a hostile movement by
Nicaragua.
1t was said at the State Department
that there were no fresh developments in
the Central American situation. although
it was admitted that conditions remain

1.-The representatives of the 'Anthrac cite
United Mine Workers were unit in their
position when presenting and defending
propositions submitted to the operators.
Despite many conferences held in this
city this week, terminating today, condi-
tiOns with regard to wages In the. an
thracite coal fields Of Pennsylvania re-
main unchanged tonight. Both operators
and representatives Of the mine workers
remain firm in their decision not to come
to an agreement at this time.
During the conferences between the
miners and the operators. which began
Wednesday and ended yesterday, the
operators refused to recognize the United
Mine Workers, but offered to renew the
wage agreement which expired March 81.
This the miners rejected. They proposed
q counter proposition which the operators
refused to entertain.
The three district boards of the anthra-
cite mine workers held practically an all
day session today discussing the situation.
and adjourned finally without giving out
an official statement. 1t is known, how
ever, that policy committee was ap-
pointed and that some of the mine work
ers entertain the hope that an am.cable
agreement with the operators will yet be
reached.
During the day President Lewis of the
mine workers gave OUT d Statement re-
garding his views of the situation. Mr..
Lewis left for his home in Bridgeport.
Ohio, tonight. Other miners representa-
tives who will not remain here for Easter
have gone to Atlantic City.
Although it has been known that the

cause of the disagreement, the attitude of
the operators as to whether they will per-
init them to work without an agreement
Is not known. The operators. it is said
will meet in New York Monday. when
the mining situation will be discussed.
1t Is said the question of restoring the
so cents ton reduction on April de-
livery of anthracite coal will also be dis
cussed.
The Reading company has instructed its
agents not to book any sales for coal
pending further instructions. This move

thought that dealers apprehensive OF
