The accident was due to the wash

/ RESTORING PEACE
Situation in Nicaragua Shows an
Improvement.
CRUISER RECALLED BY TAFT
Report That Fifty American Fighters
Had Been Killed at Corinto
Proves to Be Without
Foundation.

Washington, Aug. 81. - The report
that fifty American marines had been
killed in Nicaragua proves to be un'
true, according to dispatches received
by the government from Panama and
Corinto on Thursday.
The report was discredited at both
the state and navy departments
where 1t was added that the situation
in Nicaragua was considered to be
improving.
Strength in this belief was evil
denced when President Taft recalled
the cruiser California. which, after
unloading geo marines at Corinto, had
started to Panama to take the 1.20O
men Of the Tenth infantry TO Mica
ragua. The marines landed ut Co
rinto Immediately took charge OF the
policing OF the port and began
stretching thin brown line along the
railroad from Corinto to Managua,
which will be reopened Immediately
Messages were received from Min
lister Weitzel in Managua and Consul
Johnson in Corinto saying that the
situation had improved materially.
A commission sent by the rebel
general Francisco Vaca demanded the
surrender of Corinto August rs. but
was Informed that the port Is under
the protection OF the American forces
who would give battle to the rebels
should they attempt to enter. Consul
Johnson's message to this effect left
Corinto August rs and is the latest
information received from him. The
California has been stationed off Co.
rinto as a wireless sending and re-
ceiving station, however, and the gov
eminent is anxiously awaiting dis
patches from the seat OF the trouble.
Two thousand United States ma
rines will be modified in Corinto
along the railroad and In Managua
Itself by the beginning Of next week
II Is believed these will be able to
restore peace and to guarantee pro
lection to the Americans still In
Nicaragua. The rebels have promised
Commander Washington OF tho gun
boat Denver that they will repair the
railroad and have the telegraph lines
between Corinto and Managua In
working condition within As hours.
They have also agreed not to inter
fere with the movements c. .Ameri-
cans to and fro over the railroad.

ENGLAND TO ASK
j. S. TO ARB|TRATE
viii Demand Canal Dispute Be
Submitted to Hague.
REQUEST SURPRISE TO TAFT
General Opinion Expressed in Wash
ington Is That America viii Not
Comply Without Long Diplo-
matte Battle.

London, Sept. 3.-The British gov
eminent will make formal demand
upon the United States government to
arbitrate England's claim that the Pa
mama canal act violates the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, according to an Of
fetal announcement made here.
1t Is understood that instructions al
ready have been sent to the British
embassy at Washington. Great Bril-
tain's contention will be that the Ques-
ton ct issue does not affect the vital
interests. independence or honor Of
the United States, and that therefore
II is clearly within the scope Of the
1908 convention, since the matter to
be arbitrated Is not an act Of congress
but an Interpretation Of article 3 of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Announcement Surprise to Taft.
Beverly, Mass, Sept. 3.-President
Taft was much surprised when In
formed that England will appeal to
The Hague tribunal on the Panama
canal controversy. He said he was
not ready to make statement, as he
has had no word Of the state depart
ment and does not expect to consider
the case until he arrives in Washing
ton tomorrow. Great Britain's notice
Of appeal does not mean that the mat.
ter must 60 to The Hague, for the
United States has as much right to re-
fuse to submit to arbitration as Great
Britain has to ask for 1t.
DecinatIon Looked For.
Washington, Sept. g. The opinion
here Is general that the United States
will not yield to the demand for arbi-
tration on the Panama canal act with.

quarters 1t is believed that the de
mand will be fatty refused. Hunting
