The war department today ordered
the Tenth United States infantry at
Panama to proceed at once to Mica

The orders came direct from pres
ident Taft Just before he left Beverly
for Columbus, o. 1t will embark on

The Tenth infantry is recruited
to full war strength and fully equip
ped for campaigning in the tropics.
1t is to be taken on merchant ships
and rushed to corinto with all pos
sible speed. 1t is to hold the railroad
between Corinto and Mangua and 1t
is believed 1t will afford ample pro-
lection.
Allegations OF conditions bordering
on barbarism and acts even worse
than these which took troops of the
powers into China during the Eoxer
instruction have been received at
the state department. within the last
hours.
The burning OF soldiers and the
starving of prisoners in dungeons
in the latest reports made it plain
that immediate protection for Amer
leans was necessary and probably it
would not be safe to wait for the
arrival of marines enroute who
would not get there for a week.
while the Tenth infantry can reach
the scene in two days.
General Altschul, the revolutionist
junta representative in washington.
denies stories of barbarities but the
rebel firing on flags of truce borne
by loyal Nicaraguans as we'll as
American marines is said to have
been frequent the last few days.
Attacks on women and children
are said to have been frequent.
The state department has pro-
.ceeded upon the conviction that 1T
has not infringed on the war making
power OF Congress or the president.

this has an idea that cooperation
has never been tried in this coun-

quite as fixed as the other idea

been tried and has succeeded, in
measure enough to prove that the

in California

CHICAGO, June 11.-Louis N. Seaman,
fosmer cashier of the Elgin National
bank of Elgin, Ill., was arrested today in
Los Angeles on warrant charging en-
bezzlemei.t and msapplication of the
banks funds.
The arrest was the result of alleged
discrepancies in the accounts of the bank
discovered more than year ago by the
national bank examiners. s... .
The money unaccounted for by the ex-
aminers' report approximated 100000 The
losses were promptly made good by the
directors Of the institution and govern
ment agents were called in. Seaman left
the employ Of the bank more than year
ago and anew months ago entered the
real estate business in Los Angeles.
The government agents say that Sea-
man invested and lost large sums Of
money in a Chicago concern in which he
was interested and that his efforts to
make it a paying venture We're costly to
the bank.
The specific allegations in the charge
against him are that he procured money
from the bank on worthless drafts. One
of the alleged worthless drafts was drawn
against the city treasorer of South Bend,
Ind, for 5000.

hearing before a United States commits
