den is a race for two-year- olds at a
mile-the longest distance of the year

the Walden family as trainers OF

that there is danger of an attack by
President Zelaya's forces being made

The Prarie, now at Philadelphia,
has been ordered to take on board
seven hundred marines under the
command of Colonel Biddle and
steam as soon as possible to Colon.
The Importance and significance of
these orders are minim;=ed at the

the Tacoma has been instructed to
