PEACE ADVOCATES AT BANQUET
President Taft Makes Answer to
Charge OF Inconsistency Lodged
Against Advocates of Arbitration.

New York-Preceded by dissen-
sions which seemed for time to
threaten climax anything but pacific,
the peace banquet Saturday night
proved in realization everything that
its name implied-so far, at least, as
concerned Its attendant conditions.
President Taft, who was the guest
OF honor and speaker of the evening,
while arguing for the pending arbi-
tration treaties between the United
States and Great Britain and France,
as he has done previously at similar
gatherings, went further and replied
specifically to some criticisms recently
made against the principles embodied
in those treaties. He also made answer
to the charge of inconsistency lodged
against advocates Of arbitration treat.
les who did not favor arbitration in
the difficulty between the United
States and Russia.

FURNISHED REBELS WITH ARMS.
Cargo Thought to Have Been Intended
for Portuguese Was for Para
guayan Revolutisnists.

Antwerp.-The crew Of the steamer
Zeebrugge, which sailed from here on
the night of October 10 with cargo
of arms and ammunition, it was
thought for the Portuguese royalists,
returned Sunday to Antwerp. They
related remarkable story.
It appears that the steamer and car
go were not intended for the Portu-
guese royalists, but for Paraguayan
revolutionists. She carried ESQ tons
Of powder, four large cannon, one ma
chine gun, $4,000 rifles, a wireless ap-
paratus, uniforms and other military
supplies. There were two English and
FIVE Spanish passengers.
One of the Spaniards, Arricos by
name, assumed direction of affairs as
soon as the steamer was out of sight
of land.
The zeebrugge, instead of proceed
ing for Fort Stanley, Falkland islands,
for which she had cleared, headed di-
rectly for South America. The Bel
gian sailors then learned that 1t was
the intention to attack the Paraguayan
villages on the Rio del la Plata.
After many adventures and narrow
escapes from capture, the Paraguayan
border was reached and the captain
announced the men were free to leave.
Refusing the invitation of Arricos to
join his expedition, the crew made
their way to Buenos Ayres and thence
to Antwerp,
