eral land office in this district ex-
poets to have every pending case

VESSELS TO BE ORDERED TO
TAKE STATIONS ALONG MIC
ARAGUAN COAST.
SITUATION D|SAGREEABLE
Yorktown is signated to Prevent
Movement of Troops Between Mic
aragua and San Salvador if Possible
Interest Attaches to Denias of Re-
ports Of Hostile Demonstrations.

Washington, March l3.-msofar as
official dispatches are concerned
there were no developments in the
Central America situation. 1t was
announced at the state department
that no word had come from Mica
ragua or elsewhere bearing ON the
subject.
After waiting all day for reply to
his dispatch of last night the Mexican
ambassador visited Secretary Knox
and informed him that as yet he had
no advices. In the meantime, follow
ing conferences between Mr.. Knox,
Secretary Meyer and Rear Admiral
Pillsbury, chief of the bureau of nav
gation, the ships in Nicaragua waters
and on their way there will be as
signed to stations.
There will be one at Greytown and
another at Bluefelds on the Atlantic
side, one at Corinto and another in
the Bay of Fonseca on the Pacific
side. This latter vessel. the York
town, because of her light draught,
will be able to proceed as far as ANA
pala, and thus prevent the movement
of troops between Nicaragua and Sal
Vador by water. Should any such
movement be undertaken overland
across Honduras, marines will be dis
patched to check it.
Interest was attached in official cir
cles to the denial by the presidents of
Nicaragua and Salvador of the stories
that hostilities between the two coun-
tries had broken out, but it was
stated that such rumorS played only
a part in a situation which, to en-
ploy the expression of a high official,
had become very disagreeable
Because of the recall of Mr.. Greg
ory, the American secretary of lega-
ton at Managua it is believed that
the position here of Minister Espi-
nosal of Nicaragua will become un-
tenable, and that in consequence he
will take his departure. Efforts to
see him today We're without success.

special to The Daily Misso liam.

Special to The Daily Misso Ilian.
kalispell, March 1S.-Conrad Trav-
ersy's saloon license expires at II
O'Clock tonight, and the city council,
through the police, has ordered that
the place be closed and has refused
to issue another license to Mr.. Trav-
ersy on the ground that he was con-
ducting disorderly house. Traversy
has employed Judge D. F. Smith and
ex-County Attorney McKeown to de-
fend his position, and will defy the
council and the law and insist that il
grant him another license and permit
the continuation of the business by
MIN. Following the local option fight
that has been raging here for some
time, and the persistent work on the
part of the council in les ing the
number of saloon licenses in the city
and cutting out all undesirable
houses, this test case will be of unus-
ual interest to everyone here.

Washington March l3.-As the
tariff bill stands tonight, coffee re-
mains on the free list When the re-
publican members OF the ways and
means committee ceased their labors
tonight until Monday morning the
provisions relating to special taxation
had not been decided upon. The Payne
bill Will not be ready for introduction
on Monday, according to member of
the committee.
While an inheritance tax provision
undoubtedly will be included in the
bill, the members of the sub b-commit-
tee have been unable to agree regard
ing the proposition to impose a stamp
tax on checks, bonds and stocks. The
entire matter is still open.
The treasury officials view with dis
favor the proposition to levy an inn
post on coffee. 1t is pointed out that
several million bags of high grade Bra
zlllan coffee is now held in this coun-
try and In some of the European CEN
ters as security for loans made to one
OF the Brazilian states, and that should
a duty be imposed, the coffee stored
in Europe could be shipped into the
United States before the new tariff
would become operative, This vast
quantity of coffee, estimated to ex-
ceed 100000 bags, is said to equal
the entire expectation of Brazilian cof-
Zee into the United States for a whole
year Thus, 1t is stated, instead of
the tax being a revenue producer the
income for the first year is likely to
be insignificant
Increase Cost.
In the brief which they submitted to
the ways and means committee the
National Coffee & Tea association de-
clared that the proposed tax on coffee
or tea would fail to produce any ma
terial revenue to the government for
nearly two years and would increase
the cost of these beverages to every
family from $3.50 to $25 per year.
They stated that the present visible
supply of coffee in the world amounts
TO about 100000 bags, of which
4,ooO,0O0 bags are stored here or are
afloat in this country.
According to the figures which thew
submitted, duty of 4 cents a pound
on coffee would mean an immediate
every bag in the United States. or a
profit of nearly $21 100000 to owners
and holders of this coffee.

As an average of one billion pounds
OF coffee are imported annually, the
tariff trainers figured that a duty of
