ish troops. Turkey Is described as
wishing to be conciliatory and mod
crate, but considerable doubt is ex-
pressed as to whether Turkey would
ever accept such demands as these.
Austria has given adhesion to the
plan formulated by the French and
Russian foreign ministers to deal with
the Balkan situation. Austria, how
ever, suggested slight change In the
wording Of the proposals, which met
with. the immediate approval Of both
NJ. Poincare and NJ. Sazonoff. The only
effect Of the amendment Is more
sharply to define the intentions of the
powers and present a more precise
statement thereof.
II is understoo l that the proposals
do not include a demand for the au-
tonomy Of Macedonia, but urge the
adaptation Of the provisions Of Article
% Of the treaty Of Berlin, providing
for a larger measure of home rule. 1t
is believed here that the proposals as
now outlined will remove any lurking
suspicious in England that the CONT
mental powers possibly were contem-
plating a settlement wholly at the ex-
pense o. Turkey.
The Proposals to Turkey.
The French government is confident
that all the preliminaries will be COM
pleted in time to permit Russia and
Austria as the mandatories OF Europe
to present a collective note to Sofia,
Belgrade, Athens and Cettinje to-mor-
row, or at the latest on Tuesday. AS
soon as this is done Turkey will be in
vited to give guarantees which will
render effective the promise that Eu-
rope will take upon her shoulders the
responsibility for the realization OF the
reforms.
The feeling prevails in official cir
Giles that this guarantee offered by the
powers ought to satisfy the Balkan
States, IL. as they profess, their sole
motive in mobilizing against Turkey
was to force the reforms provided for
in the treaty of Berlin. At the same
time il Is realized that while the gov
ernments in the coalition may be will
ing to accept this guarantee they are
feeling more and more the pressure OF
the militarism which they themselves
have been unable to repress.

paris. oct. 6,-The question whether
the differences between Turkey and the
Balkan States shall be settled by the
efforts Of diplomacy or by the arbitra-
mont OF the sword is still in the bal
ance. II anything, II might be said
that the scales swung slightly to-day
against peace In the sense that every

powers increases the danger OF hos

The word now rests with Great

with some notifications the French

with the other powers responsibility

Mena Revolt About Ended.

Senior Castrllo. the Nicaraguan Min
lister. shares the belief Of the State De-
partment officials that the revolution
begun by General Mena three months
ago is practically ended and that peace
will be rapidly restored following the
capture OF Leon. He said tonight that
he does not look for any fighting at
Leon, but rather believes that the
rebels there will lay down their arms.
He received no dispatches to-day.
II am extremely gratified over the
outcome Of the revolution and share
with my countrymen the feeling Of
everlasting appreciation for what the
United States government has done
toward promoting peace in the repub-
lie" said Senior Castrillo. II antici-
pate that within few days peace will
again reign in Nicaragua"

LEON YIELDS TO U. S. FORCE
Department of State Believes
There Is Now Little Danger
of Further Loss of
American Lives.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Oct. 8-The town OF
Leon, Nicaragua, has surrendered to
the American forces. according to a
dispatch received tonight from San
Juan del Sur. There is reason to be-
lieve that no fighting occurred, but de-
tails of the surrender are lacking.
Aside from the bare possibility that
there has been another clash with the
rebels at Leon, there is now little
danger Of further loss Of American
property IN Nicaragua, according to
officials Of the Department of State. 1t
is suspected that Juan Irias, the Costa
Rican agitator. was in command at
Leon, but the feeling prevails here that
the rebellion is virtually at an end.
Dispatches to the State Department
day told Of brief engagement be-
tween marines and revolutionists at
Chichigalpa preceding the battle of
Barranca Hill. Five marines were
slightly wounded and thirteen rebels
were killed In the skirmish.
The marines In command Of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Charles G. Long. while at
tempting to obtain arms and dynamite
near Chichigalpa, were surrounded by
a band OF revolutionists, all we'll armed
with machetes and rifles. The rebel
leaders are said TO have given an order
that the American force should not be
molested, but the revolutionists disre-
garded the instructions and fired a vol
lev at the marines. The fire was
promptly returned with deadly effect,
the rebels scattering in all directions,
leaving thirteen Of their number dead
and n number wounded.
In his report of the engagement at
Chichigalpa. Rear Admiral Switzerland
states that the five marines were only
slightly wounded, and that all of them
will surely recover. The marines were
from the Denver.
Four bombs were discovered by the
marines in their search following the

As "A precautionary move, orders
were issued to-day for the marines al

notice. While 1t is not expected that
an additional force will be needed IN

partments wish TO he prepared for any

The Unostentation Peanut.

Of peanuts per annum, real poverty will

East India has no better tast than to COM

goober is the richest In food value. Scien-
fists say that it contains more tssue-build-

what is more to the point. furnishes them

Interesting Letter from'Barnwel

OF Fisherman's Point.
Guantanamo, Cuba,

= JduUdIS IL, 1J11s
Dear Daddy-I don't know what you are
thinking about me for not writing you
ooner but our plans have miscarrled.
Instead OF reaching here last Saturday as
was expected we won't get in until tOmor-
row, Saturday, n week late.
We left Hampton Roads the 4th and
started for the Southern Drill grounds to
meet the feet, but instead OF meeting the
Feet we met a storm that caused a great
deal of damage and the supposed loss OF
the U. S. S. Mayrant, a torpedo boat which
tarpedo boats with US and both were lost
for three days. We picked up U. S. S. Pat
terson which was with us. and she sig
nailed that she was out Of bread had nc
wireless at all, but was ready to proceed
to Cuba, as her boilers and engines were in
good shape. We supplied her with three
days supply Of bread and some fresh fruit.
Nothing yet has been heard OF the May
rant and the search has about been given
up, and 1t is supposed that she was broken
While the Idaho pitched and rolled and
shipped plenty Of water, still we came
through o. k. and lone the worse for our
rough treatment.
You remember the chest you were sit
ting on just inside the door when you
came to see me off last summer. Well.
that deck was flooded with. four inches OF
water. Where the guns come out the side
the water came in in great volume. The
quarterback, where you came aboard, was
like this most Of the time. Either one side
or the other went under water every tim
she rolled. We weren't able to set ouI
tables 10 the deck for two days, and had to
eat ION the fiy"-sandwiches, coffee and
plenty Of cake and fresh fruit. Taking all
In all we were pretty well shaken up anC
I thank God that We came out alive. Ex'
cept for the Mayrant we are all safe, and
II she did go down, I suppose there will bf
a collection taken up among the fleet OF
something Of that sort for the survivors
wives and children who were left destitute
It Is reported that the Idaho has beer
granted permission to go to New Orleans
for the Mardi Gras In February. I don,
know whether that Is true or not, but il II
is we will all have a mighty good time, as
last June every n asked us to come bach
again.
I guess there will be the usual routine
down here this year as it. was last-coa
ship, trial speeds and the like.
Jan. 70, 1912, 6 a. m.
Well, the "mud hook" or anchor has fal
len and the mail orderly will leave in hal
an hour. We heard as We came In that the
Mayrant had been found and was on bel
way to Guantanamo now. So outside o.
losing a few boats, six men lost overheard
from the different ships-none from thu
Idaho-the feet is in good shape.
Well, l want to get this off, so will cay
goodbye. Much love to every one. Hope
every Is we'll.

EDUCATION NECESSARY.
The Head, Heart, Hands And Feet Need
framing.

Education is a art OF drawing out or dew
eOlping the faculties OF training human be-
ings for the functions for which they were
destined.
Man is either reduction for good or evil,
by everything that he experience from the
cradle tn the grave, therefore, we should
strive to get such On education that would
cause the wourld to be made better because
Of our being in 1t.
We shou.d educate our head, heart, hands
and feet. ~ We should educate our head
in order that we might be able to under
stand and solve the problems that might
confront US. ~ We should educate our
heart so that we might be instrumental In
| winning souls for Christ. (3) We ahould
| educate the hands so that we might be able
to do with all our might whatsoever our
hands find to do. az We should educate
our feet to walk in the staigt and narrow
| path that leads earth to HEAVIER.
| We should strive to trein the children
| while they are yeung for good, In order
| that they might be useful ih fostering the
| cause of educition. -
The chief educators are the home and
| ~neigehorhood, and they should have q
good Christirn influence so that the child
| might be taught the fear to do evil. 1t
| should also be taught %self-control, love OF
truth, obedience and to reverence what Is
good and great, because 1t is then when
they form their habits and all but the
mere outward form is beyond the power
of direct teaching for they have been I'M
bibed though the silent influence OF ex-
ample.
1t is true that the school and professor
al educators only play a part along with
others influence, but it is very important
bart which every n seould try to obtain.
There is something for each one OF us to
do, and In order that we might be abe to
do it as it should be done, we should strive
to get a broader knowledge of it, and q
thorough understanding of how 1t should
be done, so that we might be able to pre-
form it in the best way possible.
There is no limit to the degree OF intelli-
gence that is desirable in any. class OF
people, but for q vast majority OF the race
there Is a very small degree o~btainable.
Therefore it should be considered what is
most needed, and We should try to accom-
plish that aim. .
The day Is growing more enlightened
and it demands better service, and we
should strive to repair ourselves to meet
the requirement. So let us not be content
with a small bit Of learning, but let each OF
us strive to go onward and upward until
we too shall have better prepared ourselves
to do service for the Master.
1t has been said by wise men Of old,
IF you covet %learning's case, climb her
heights and take it."
In ourselves the fortune lies. Life lie
what we make II.

Mr.. T. P. j. Power, the general manager
Of the famous Scotch Canadian band was
asked by a reporter what the greatest
difficulty was that he had to contend with
While making their trip around the world.
He replied that the greatest difficulty,
especially in South Carolina, was to keep
his men from getting married and leaving
the band and settling there. We have his
word for it that the southern ladies fairly
adorned the men who looked so romantic

tune. Even the handy legged ones were
