POPULAR SONGS.

Loud rang the cannons everywhere,
and loud the bugles roared,
The gallant ship was sinking with a
thousand souls on board.
The famous general and his staff came
galloping along,
And shouted, "At them men! Come
Let us kill the red devils before they
scalp our loved ones%
Nobody moved, nobody stirred, and
Ger the generals face,
In this moment fraught with anguish,
swept the shadow of disgrace.
But, stay! One gallant soldier saved
the flag and gave his life,
And muttered while a-croaking: "Take
this message to my wife:
CHORUS.
Tell nv wife died a hero while the
ship was going down.
Tell her to sell the country home and
move into the town.
She'll know | died hero, she'll know
it very well,
For no one else but hero could have
married my Estelle."
They took his wife the message when
they got back home again,
She heard each word that he had said,
but didn't show no pain
"And so he died hero she unused,
upon the porch.
$50 them was his dying words, Ell?
Goo, the old boy certainly hated
himself, didn't he?"
The sad and downcast messengers
we're far too shocked to speak,
They had expected for to see some
tears roll down her cheek.
They little knew that there was grief
too deep for any tears,
When that last tender message fell
upon her shell-like ears.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The de-
tails of the plan mapped out by Sec
retary of State Knox for Furnishing
President Zelaya of Nicaragua for the
summary execution of two Americans,
Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon,
were laid before President Taft to-
night at a conference at the White
House. Secretary Knox was accom-
panied to the White House by Henry
NJ Hoyt, counsellor of the State de-
partment and Mr. Knox's right-hand
man in handling diplomatic questions.
Secretary Knox and Mr.. Hoyt reached
the White House about $50. They
spent several hours discussing with
Mr.. Tat the details of the political
situation IN Nicaragua leading up to
the present revolution and the execu-
ton of the two Americans and Mr..
KnoXs plan of action.
1t is believed that President Taft
will approve the program decided on
by his secretary of state for dealing
with President Zelaya. The measures
contemplated by Secretary Knox are
said to be of a drastic nature.
Hurry-Up Orders.
Orders were sent by the navy de-
partment today to the transport Buffa-
TO- which is now at Pinchilique Bay,
Mexico, directing that vessel to pro-

The Buffalo was ordered to Panama
originally to be available for use in

No additional dispatches on the sub

from Mr. Caldera received yesterday
is regarded by officers of the depart
men as a full and comprehensive

Knox believes that subsequent inVes-

ecution of the two Americans.
The Nicaraguan crisis probably Will
be the principal topic of consideration
at the regular cabinet meeting on next

slight resistance in descending the
stairs. Defendant was not talking
loud or raising any disturbance. Wit
ness was in few feet of officers when

the United States for the protection
of the lives and property of American
citizens. If the President believes
that the lives and property of Ameri.
can citizens residing in Nicaragua are
! in jeopardy, the constitutional right is
his to land marines in Nicaragua to
furnish adequate protection of Ameri-
can interests.
For many months the state depart
ment has desired to eliminate Zelaya
! from Central American politics. He
has not been only obnoxious to the
United States and it's diplomatic rep
resentatives in Managua, but has been
regarded by the officers of the state
department as a political mischief
maker. He has been charged with
instigating revolutionary movements
against neighboring republics and
with violating the agreement of the
Central American peace conference
held in Washington in 1907. In ad-
ditioD he endeavored to wreck the
Central American court of justic at
Carriage, Costa Rica officials asserted,
because it rendered decision against
him, but was prevented from accom-
plishing his purpose by the United
States and Mexico.
While the details of Secretary
Knox's plan of action in dealing with
Nicaragua are not known, it is re-
garded as probable by well-informal
people here that an apology and sub
stantial indemnities for the families
of the executed Americans will be de-
manded from Zelaya. Mr.. Knox may
also send passports to Senior Rod
riguez, the Nicaraguan charge d
affaires here. This action would be a
complete severance of diplomatic re-
lations between the two countries.
No Diplomatic Representatives.
The United States has not had a
diplomatic representative at Managua
since last winter when John e.
Coolidge. the American minister there
resigned from the diplomatic service
and John H. Gregory, Jr., the secre-
tary and charge d. affaires, was with
drawn because of the 'intolerable atti-
tude" of President Zelaya in the ne
ootiations for the settlement of the
Emory claim. Vice-Consul Caldera is
the only representative of this govern
ment in Managua. He was born IN
Nicaragua. but is a naturalized Amer
lean. While he has only such protec-
ton as is furnished by the Nicaraguan
government the state department mas
no information that he has been
menaced. If however, his safety is
threatened the United States probably
will send a landing party from the
gunboat Vicksburg at Corinto to Ma
naugua, about forty miles distant, 10
protect them.
The navy department is proceeding
with its preparations for active meas
ures against Nicaragua. There is
force of 500 marines due to sail from
the League island navy yard, Phila-
delphia, early in December FOR tne
Panama zone, to relieve the force Oh
marines which has completed its tour
of duty on the isthmus. This force
can he diverted to Nicaragua for ser
vice.

SUICIDE ASKS CnuM'S ADVICE
Youth Discusses Best Means Of Death
With Friend and Then Makes
Good Threat.

Tyler, Mimi, April 20. - After dis
cussing anatomy with a friend and
specializing on the surest means Of
lntlcting death, Henry Nelson, nine
teen years old, a promising youth Of
this place, committed suicide by
shooting.
In the discussion the two young
men had come to the conclusion that
a bullet fired into the brain through
the temple was the most certain
method of killing a human being, and
1t was by that method that Nelson
destroyed his own life.
Contrition over a recent indulgence
IN liquor at a dance is supposed to
have produced a condition of melan-
choly, and the young nan is known
TO have remarked that if his parents
learned of his remissness he would
put a bullet through his head.
Saturday evening Nelson hired a
horse and buggy, and with Holger
Egequist went out for a drive. 1t was
then, that anatomy and death were
discussed.
Egequist had no intimation of his
friends gloomy intention and was en-
tlrely unprepared for the tragic hap
pening that followed their return to
town, although Nelson did not seem to
be normal.
