TO REPORT ON NICARAGUA

Will Visit Various Districts.
prom The Tribune Bureau


Washington, Oct. n--Amertcan marines
and bluejackets will be withdrawn from
Nicaragua within a month in the opinion
of Rear Admiral William II. II. souther-
land, who advised the Navy Department
under date Of October 10 that conditions
were rapidly becoming normal.
It Is the plan OF Admiral Switzerland to
make a thorough investigation Of condi-
tons throughout the republic before the
American force is withdrawn. To this
end he will dispatch three expeditionary
forces, under command OF Colonel j. II.
Pendleton, Major William N. McKelvy
and Major George c. Reid, to visit the
various districts.
Officials of the Department OF State ex-
press themselves highly pleased over the
successful termination Of the trouble In
Nicaragua. and are generous In their
praise OF the excellent service performed
by Admiral Switzerland. Much credit Is
also given to Minister George T. Weitzel
at Managua.
II was discovered to-day that George o.
Burgess. the bluejacket supposed to have
been killed at Leon, Ia alive, a mistake
having been made in sending the names
OF the slain men. Delavan Harry Bour-
geois, OF Bourne, Tex, was the blue
jacket whose name was confused with
that OF Burgess. He enlisted about hf-
teen months ago.
The name of the bluejacket who was
wounded. but whose identity could not be
learned, Is Thomas d. Lancer. He en-
listed in New York eighteen months ago.
His father. Thomas p. Lancer, lives at
No. 223 West l2lst street, New York City.

.HILO LION ARRIVED
BY THE CLAUDINE

Ben de Mello set all doubts at rest
by arriving t. morning by the
steamer Claudine accompanied by his
trainer, Jockey Willis.
TIL invaders had a trying passage,
de Mello stating that the seas landed
telling chops on the steamer pretty
well all the way across.
At that the Hilo Lion looked fresh
and fit as he stepped ashore with his
valises--be it observed that he hasn't
acquired valet as yet.
The Portuguese says he worked
hard in Hilo up to the hour of sailing
and that he is in shape to put up the
battle of his life! Both he and his
trainer are filled with a fair measure
of confidence, the latter particularly
making no bones about stating his
opinion that de Mello will deliver the
goods.
De Mello's weight has not been Off
cially noted as yet but there is no
doubt that both he and Gilmore will
save their forfeits in this respect
The Hilo boxer is resting today and
recovering from the effects of his trip.
Tomorrow afternoon he will have q
public workout at the Orpheum, start
ing at 3:15, to which all interested
are invited.
The matter of who will referee the
bout, the question of break and other
details will be settled at conference
of the principals to be held tomorrow
night.

CHICAGO TESTS
NEXT THURSDAY

According to Lew G. Henderson,
manager of the Hawaiian swimming
expedition, Secre ,ary Levy of the 1915
exposition states that he will put on
an exhibition of surfriding, canoe
surfing, body surfing and dying and
swimming during the fair and that
an expert team from Honolulu will be
invited to Witt The Coast to take part
in these aquatics.
The reason why Kahanamoku and
Genoves will swim in Chicago on
March 70 and 10, is that President e.
c. Brown announced that the Chicago
tests for the Olympic swimming team
would be held on March -.
This announcement caused Manager
Henderson to change his plans in or,
der to have his men in Chicago on that
date to compete.

EXPERIENCES OF THE SWIMMING
EXPEDITION ON WAY TO. CHICAGO

Especial Correspondence to the Starr
Aboard the Overland Limited, Feb.
ruary 1S.-After making themselves
comfortable at the Hotel Stewart and
arranging appointments over the
phone, the boys were interviewed by
the newspapermen who had them pose
for photographs.
We had to get many things to make
our outfit complete before going East
which kept us very busy. We all met
Mr.. Humphrey, president of the Olym-
pic Club, and he extended to us the
full privils eyes of the same.
Several OF the members of the club
spoke of us sending word ahead on
our return so that an exhibition could
be arranged, which will probably be
done.

and the boys mentioned in San Fran

DUCKS
ARE THICK

Talk about being thick. Well, here
is a story where a farmer found the
game birds so thick that they ate the
grain during the night which he had
sowed during the day and he was
forced to set off fireworks during the
night to frighten them away. Listen
to the facts:
S. Lyons, a pioneer rancher near
Brawley, after an unsuccessful war
upon the myriads of wild fowl which
raided his wheat and barley fields n
night, resorted to fireworks to scare
away the marauding quackers.
Hunters, scarecrows and trap guns
failed to keep the birds away from mis-
crops at night In fact, the birds in

creased in numbers from week to
week despite the slaughter.
AS a last resort he purchased an
assorted lot of fireworks. Armed with
this ammunition, he went into the
fields after dark, where thousands Of
ducks were eating his crops and raked
the greedy hordes of web-feet with
huge skyrockets and Roman candles.
The experiment was successful, for
since the initial bombardment the
wild ducks have given that district a
wide berth.

We soon made ourselves at home
on the observation car from which
we watched Frisco disappear in the
distance.
Missed the Snow.
The snow-sheds near Colfax and
the surrounding country were Of
course all quite new to the boys but
somewhat disappointing as there was
very little snow.
We ran into a small snow furry in
Wyoming which we soon passed out
Of Practically the only snow that
we have seen has been on the shady
sides of mountains. The weather in
dicates more snow but as far as we
have been able to find out there isn't
any in Chicago.
The boys take their walks at inter-
walls of a hundred miles, and their
strolls are only of five minutes dura-
ton at that.
Their appetites are not what they
were aboard ship but they say they
feel well and look well and there is
every reason to believe that they will
be in good shape for their engage
ments in Pittsburg.
We expect to leave Chicago on Mon
day night, February 10, for Pitts
burg and will let you have details OF
the Pittsburg races when we return
to the Windy City.
