Sent Mena to Safety, Is Belief.

Officials here believe General Mena
requested that he be permitted to sur
render to Admiral Sutherland from
fear of summary action at the hands
of the Nicaraguan federals, and the
admiral doubtless thought it advisable
to get the rebel leader out Of the
country as soon as possible.
Granada now is completely under
control of United States forces. Con-
ditions are reported pitiful in the ex-
IRENE. The inhabitants face famine
in consequence of their long isolation.
Red Cross provisions have been dis
tributed with the greatest haste.
Irias' Leadership Ignored.
1t is not thought that General Zele-
don and his force will attempt to hold
out now that the head of the revolu-
ton has given Up.
Little Importance is attached here
to the announcement by Jtan Irias,
former follower CT Zelaya, of his in
tention to succeed General Mena.
Irias made known his ambition be-
fore leaving San Jose, Costa RIGA,
several days ago. Nothing since has
been heard of his whereabouts.

other a ticket bearing the name of the
German candidate.
"Mein herr" he said to the German
election official. will you tell me which
of these tickets Is the better one?"
The officer looked at him. "Why,
this is much preferable" said he, indi-

Wreck Of tn. White Shin.

The most famous OF all royal ship
wrecks is probably that of the White
Ship, which gave Rossetti the subject
of one Of his finest ballads. Henry l.
had crossed to France to secure the al.
legiance Of the Norman barons and was
returning in triumph. Prince William,
the kings favorite son, did not sail
aboard his fathers vessel. but followed
in the White Ship commanded by Fitz-
stephen, the royal hereditary pilot.
Somewhere in midchannel the White
Ship separated from the feet and went
down with all on board, and Henry
''never smiled again."
That historically stiled smile also
gave rise to the ribald verse--lt came.
one thinks, from some Twainish Amer
lean:
Many a wicked smile he smole,
And many wink he wunk,
But never, never smole again
After the White Ship sunk.
