Port Limon, Costa Rica, Dec. 49,
At least 70 families, variously estimat-
ed at from $50 to ITO men, women and
children, were drowned following the
sinking of their island homes.
The island, in the center of the lilo
Pango lagoon, off Salvatore, disap-
peared after a series of earthquake
shocks and slid into the depths of the
lagoon, carrying with it nearly all of
the inhabitants.
The sinking of the island followed
a series of earthquake shocks which
were felt throughout the republic.
The shocks began early in the evening
and grew in frequency and violence as
night progressed until about midnight,
when the watchers on shore heard
the sound Of guns from the people on
the island.
Shortly after that a huge bonfire was
lighted on the island and at about 1
o'clock a boat load of frightened wo-
men. and children reached the main
land.
The survivors reported that other
boats were coming as fast as they
could be filled, as the island was SLOW

|EX-U. S. GuNBOAT PRWATEERl
REPORT SAYS VESSEL LEAVES
FOR CENTRAL AMERICA.
Former President BoniIla Said to Be
Behind Movement Against
Davilla.

New Orleans, Dec. 19.-The gunboat
Hornet, formerly in the United States
navy, is making preparations to clear
this port for Central American waters.
She is being watched by United States
marshals. 1t is reported in Central
American circles that the Hornet is to
aid in a revolution to be started in
Honduras by former President Manuel
Bonilla.
The Hornet is expected to clear for
Cape Gracias under command of Cap
tain G. johnson with a crew of six
firemen, four sailors and several Off
GERS.
The Hornet has hurriedly taken
aboard 200 tons of coal and provisions
for 80 days.
That the visit here of DR.. Salvador
Castrillo, former minister general to
Washington from Nicaragua, has
something to do with the hasty clear
ing of the Hornet, was the report
here, but this emphatically denied.
1t also is rumored that the visit of
former President Bonilla to New. Or
leans several weeks ago was for the
purpose Of securing a suitable craft to
strike a blow at the Davilla govern
ment.
The Hornet then was owned by a
New ORGANS firm, which bought the
boat from the government last year.
About the time of Bonilla's visit the
vessel was purchased by a Mr.. Beer,
who owns five schooners in the Cen
trail American trade.
Repairs were started at once on the
Hornet and. she is now fit Cor sea.
Her owner has stated that the Hornet
is subject to sale, either before she
clears this port OF after she reaches
Central American waters.
1t has been rumored that President
Estrada of Nicaragua would lend as
sistance to Bonilla. 1t also is report
ed that General Lee Christmas Is ex-
pected to take an active part in the
proposed revolution.
Attention of federal officers was
called to the rumors. United States
Marshal Victor Loisel with a force of
deputies has kept close watch since,
but SO lar no violation of the federal
law has been detected.

CONGRESS READY
FOR THE RECESS
EXPECTED BIG SUPPLY BILLS
WILL BE DISPOSED OF BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
POSTAL SAVINGS CANKS READY
Creation Of a Tariff Commission
Arousing Considerable Interest,"
Investigation of Indian Con-
tracts Resumed.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Congress is
expected to adjourn Wednesday for
the holiday season and not to resume
business until Jan. 5. No objection to
the program has appeared as it is
practically certain that half a dozen
of the big supply bills will be out of
the way by Wednesday night. Out
side Of the claims bill, there has been
no business before the senate except
the Cummins resolution to change the
rules Of the senate and house so as
to facilitate piecemeal revision Of the
tariff. Several speeches on this sub
ject have been made and the indica-
lions are that the resolution will be
sent to the senate rules committee be-
for the recess.
The rules committee is generally
believed to be opposed to the adoption
Of any measure which would under
take to deal with the rules of the
house. The indications are that some
measure may be reported out which
would give the senate opportunity of
voting on some form of clcture for it.
self without invading the prerogatives
of the house.
Outcome of Conference Awaited.
The question of legislation to create
a permanent tariff commission is at
tracing far more attention in the
house than in the senate, where there
has been manifested a disposition to
await the outcome of conferences be-
ing held by Representatives Long
worth of Ohio, Good Of Iowa and Len
root of Wisconsin. Whether these
differences has not been made clear,
but it is said that in the house as a
whole there is sentiment generally for
the enlargement Of the tariff board,
and making it's existence continuous
for at least six years. Some members
favor making the life of the commits
sion 10 years and still others would go
as high as 20 years.
Most serious Of all of the questions
involved is that Of giving TO the COM
mission the power to demand books
and papers Of corporations. Many
members favor having the commission
call for such documents where they
believe them to be necessary and in
the event Of refusal to make reports
to congress with a view to separate
action in each case.
BaIIinger Report SIumbering.
The report Of the Ballinger-Pinchot
investigation is still .slumbering in the

nority members of the investigating
committee are threatening to demand
a report from the committee on agri-
culture so that a vote on the merits
Of the majority and the minority views
might be had in the house, but no

taken.
It is likely that the Investigation of
Indian contracts, which has been at a
standstill for several weeks, will be
resumed during the holiday recess.

dian Investigation will be closed some
time in January.

result of charges made in the senate

AVIATOR IS ALMOST KILLED
GRAHAME-WHITE FALLS 70 FEET,
BUT ESCAPES.
sopwith, His Rival, Makes a Record
Flight Across the
Channel.

Dover, Dec. 19.-Claude Grahame-
White, the English aviator, who re-
Gently won the International aviation
cup at Belmont Park, had a narrow
escape from serious injury. His ma
chine was wrecked and he was badly
cut about the face.
A large number of aviators have
been waiting here for the last fort
night to compete for the prize Of $780,
600 offered by Baron De Forest for
the longest flight across the English
channel in 1910, the flight to be made
by an Englishman in an English-built
machine.
Grahame-Whlte assembled in a strong
wind for a trial flight. His machine
began to rock and he was unable to
restore it's equilibrium. 1t turned over
and plunged to the ground and was
completely wrecked.
The aviator, fortunately, fell a little
to one side. It was thought at first
he had suffered conclusion Of the
brain, but he recovered consciousness
and it was found he apparently es-
capped with superficial injuries. It is
expected that he will be about again
within a week. He has ordered an
other biplane of the Wright type, and
will make another attempt to win the
prize.
A second competitor for the prize,
Sopwith, Jared better than Grahame-
White. He left East Church, Sheppey
island, at 8:15 o'clock In the morning,
crossed from Dover to Calais and de.
scended at Beaumont, Belgium, a dis
lance of liza miles.
Grahame-White had descended to
within 100 feet of the ground when
his machine began to waver. His act.
ual fall probably did not exceed 70
feet.
Sopwith completed his flight just I'M
der three and one-half hours. This is
the first time that the British-made
aeroplane has crossed the channel and
in addition, it is a record flight for dis
lance under the conditions provided.
No tugs or other craft followed the
aviator on his fight from Dover to
Calais and no precautions were taken
against accident.
