EXILE FOR REBEL CHIEF
GEN. MENA OF NICARAGUA GIVES
UP TO AMERICAN ADMIRAL.
Surrender of Leader Is Believed 4
Mean End of RevolutIoa-~CIty
Face a Famine.

Washington, Sept. 27.-GeneTal
Mena, leader of the Nicaraguan reYo-
lutionists, is to be sent to Panama
under guard of American sailors and
marines. American Minister Weitzel
reported to the state department that
Rear Admiral Switzerland had &C
cepted the surrender of Mena and TOO
followers at midnight, September "a.
His capture Is taken to indicate the
collapse of the revolution and his re-
moval to Panama probably means exile
Officials here believe General Mena
requested that he be permitted to sur
render to Admiral Switzerland be-
cause Of fear of summary action at
the hands of the Nicaragua federals
and the admiral doubtless thought it
advisable to get the rebel leader out
of the country as soon as possible.
Grania is completely under control
of United States forces.
Bluefelds, Nicaragua, Sept. 17.-Of-
fetal confirmation was received here
Of the surrender of General Mena.
This news is generally accepted as
meaning the termination of the revo-
luton.

Senate Subcommittee Which Has

Washington, Sept 30.-That the
United States will land marines and
blueiackets at Vera Cruz, Mex, with
in the next few days unless revolution
airy disturbances in that section cease
was stated by several state depart
ment officials on Friday, who admitted
they were worried at the conditions in
eastern and central Mexico.
The Madero government, having
successfully Quelled the revolt in the
northern part of the republic, has ap-
parently driven all the Zapatistas and
q few of Orozco's followers into the
neighborhood of Vera Cruz, and con-
ditions there are reported as being
very bad.
The opportune arrival of the Amer
lean gunboat Des Moines at Vera Cruz
came as welcome relief to the state
department officials, who feared for
the safety of Americans and their
property there. The Des Moines car
ried so marines and landing force of
IT'S sailors, all of whom could be put
ashore on short notice to guard the
consulate and protect other American
property in the vicinity.
Reports from the extreme southern
and northern sections of the republic
indicate that the federals are gaining
control of the situation in these re-
gions. Zapata remained uncaptured,

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 30.-The
senate subcommittee which has been
Investigating the affairs of Mexico for
the past two years, the period taking
in the Madero and Orozco rebellions,
practically concluded its labors at the
Hotel Alexandria on Friday and will
IA the future submit Its report and
recommendations to the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. The re-
port will be voluminous document
and will set forth these three impor-
tant features:
That the evidence produced before
the investigators points to the neces-
sity for the United States to inter
vene in Mexico in order that Ameri-
cans and American interests be pro-
tected.
That the evidence proves conclus-
lively that no American money was
used in financing the Orozco rebel
lion.
That the evidence tends to estab-
lish the claim that American funds
were used to finance the Madero rev.
clution, and the report will point the
finger of suspicion at two large cor
.poratfons. Positive proof Of the lat
ter, however, may not be forthcom-

Some people do not like cats. That
is up to them-probably they have a
reason. Other people don't like dogs.
and such also may be looked upon
with charity. The other day, we are
told, a dog with broken chain came
back to it's Pittsburg home carrying
in his mouth the trousers and cap of
mis- 12-year-old master. The dumb brute
thus attempted to notify the parents
that the boy had been drowned. So
the father of the family followed the
dog back to the Allegheny river,
where he found the rest of his sons
clothing-and the rest of that dogs
broken chain! The dog had not freed
himself from that chain in time to res
cue the boy, says the Cleveland Pain
Dealer But the strong link, snapped
in twain, showed that the brute had
tried, superhumanly, to do so. That
dog had not been In time to drag his
little master out of the water-but the
half of that little masters clothing in
the dogs teeth showed how sincere
the struggle had been. Some people
do not like cats. Others do not like
dogs. But there are are animals
for instance, dogs-that are likeable.
They may not succeed in being hui

substitutes FOR BREA2.

In various parts Of the world, the
poorer classes consume little or no
bread. Baked 4oaves of bread are
practically unknown in portions of
southern Austria and Italy, and
throughout the agricultural districts
of Roumania, says the London Stand
ard. Austrians aver that in the vii
lage Of Obersteirmark, not very far
from Vienna, bread is never seen.
The staple food is sterz, kind Of por-
ridge made from ground beech nuts,
taken at breakfast with fresh or cur
died milk, at dinner with broth or
fried lard, and at supper with milk,
The dish is also called heiden, and is
substituted for bread, not only in the
Austrian district mentioned, but in
Carinthia and other parts of the Ty-
rOl. Northern Italy offers substi7
tute for bread in the form of Polenta,
which is a kind of porridge made of
boiled grain. Polenta is not, however,
allowed to granulate like Scotch por-
ridge or the Austrian sterz. 1t is in
stead boiled into a solid pudding,
which is cut up and portioned out
with string. 1t is eaten cold as
often as it is hot, and is in every
sense an Italians daily bread. There
is variation Of polenta called mama
liga, the favorite food OF the poorest
classes in Roumania. Mamaliga re-
sembles polenta inasmuch IS it is
made of boiled grain, but it is unlike
the former in one respect-the grains
are not permitted to settle into solid
mass, but are kept distinct after the
fashion of oatmeal porridge.

10000.
Returns from 511 of the 1,799 dis

that he had a business which enabled

answered, bleaching sparrows." Then

habit Of catching sparrows and paint
ing them with peroxide of hydrogen,
which changed the color of their
feathers, so that he was able TO sell
them for canary birds. Perhaps he is
