sibility that formal declaration of
war will be made against Nicaragua.
Members Of the FOREIGN relations
committee are hopeful that President
Taft will not send any regular troops
to Nicaragua in advance Of the pas
sage of such a resolution as would
give him ample authority to act ac-
cording to his judgment
There is also preponderance Of
sentiment against the landing of ma
rines, except for purposes Of protecting
the American consulate and quelling
disturbances at ports where warships
Of this country may be stationed. The
feeling is that marines should not con-
stitute an offensive body and march
into the interior of the country for
the performance OF duties as devolve
upon regular troops. A marked limita-
tion is placed upon the uses to which
marines may be put, and the view is
expressed that the president has not
gone and will not go beyond that point
in making them available in Nicarau-
qua.
The feeling is unanimous among
senators and Representatives that the
Nfcaraguan situation as it now exists
does not require any action by con-
gress beyond the resolution mention
ed The president as commander-in-
chief of the army and navy has full
power to deal with all matters likely
to arise at present.
The sentiment is unanimous that
some definite and positive steps should
be taken by congress and the president
to terminate revolutions and wars
among the Central American states.
To Send Army Soon.
The action Of congress will govern
the sending Of regular army troops in
to Nicaragua. 1t is expected that they
will be sent within two weeks. Mica
ragua can be handled under present
conditions by the big force of fighting
men which the navy is rushing to the
scene. This Is estimated at something
like 1000 men in a weeks time. Many
more can be sent as the need arises.
But the best policeman on shore is
the man from the regular army That
is the service the army will be tut to
after the disorder Is ended and the
work of building up responsible gov
eminent is undertaken. This will re-
quire time and care.
