NiCaraguan Treaty To Be RatI-
fled Virtually as NegOtl-
ated Under Taft.
ON HINT FROM PRESIDENT
Secretary of State Willing to
Drop Platt Amendment
About Face Forced on
Democrats.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Aug. An effective
quietus has been put upon Secretary
Bryan's policy of establishing an
American prOtectorate over Nicaragua
by the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. which to-day adopted resolu-
ton rejecting the proposal to incorpo-
rate the Platt amendment in the pro-
posed treaty.
Before this was done an intimation
had come from the State Department
that 81 h action would be acceptable TO
Secretary Bryan. The circumstances
attending the action OF the committee
indicate that Mr.. Bryan has decided TO
abandon the policy, which was re-
ceived with establishment by the SEN
ate. and that the word has gone forth
Il Democratic Senators that the ad-
ministration will content itself with the
ratification OF the treaty practically in
the form In which IL was negotiated by
Secretary Knox.
The resolution directs the chairman,
Senator Bacon. to inform the State De-
partment that a treaty providing for
the payment TO Nicaragua Of $1,000
600 by the United States will probably
meet with the approval of the Senate.
and that If it is deemed desirable to
establish a naval base in Fonseca Bay
and acquire Little Corn and Great Corn
islands il should be made a business
transaction rather than a diplomatic
one. II also directs that the protec-
torate idea be dropped.
Only Four Adverse Votes.
Senators Stone and Burton defended
the plan for the esta blishment Of pro-
tectorate but only they and two mem
bers Of the committee. Senators Hitch
cock and Smith, Of Michigan, voted
against the resolution. Senator Smith
opposed the treaty in any form.
Senator Borah was the only Repub-
lican to vote with the seven Democrats
in support of the resolution. Senator
Bacon, who took 10 himself the credit
of suggesting the protectorate idea,
was the first to record himself against
it to-day, and the Democrats on the
committee were informed that this &C
ton was in line with the wishes of the
administration.
The impression exists among mem
bers Of the committee that Secretary
Bryan did not realize the scope Of the
policy he proposed when he submitted
his plan. He seemed TO regard the In
corpora ion Of the Plat amendment in
the treaty as a matter Of no great con-
sequence designed merely to meet the
special case Of Nicaragua. 1t was evil
dent that the President shared some
thing Of the same view from the fact
that he disclaimed any purpose on the
part Of the administration to extend
the projected protectorate TO other
Latin American republics.
Despite the attitude Of the President
and the Secretary Of State the Senate
continued to regard the treaty as the
Inauguration Of foreign policy sup
Elemental 10 the Monroe Doctrine and
OF scarcely less importance. Senator
Borah and others were preparing to
make an extended tight upon II, and it
became obvious that the treaty could
not be ratified until after protracted
discussion.

IT is judged that the second explosion
occurred about twenty minutes after
the first. The rescuers had time TO
walk about six hundred feet from the

found dead.
Five OF the foreign workmen were
found dead in one pile in the tunnel.
A number OF men were at work on the
Eft above the one where the tunnel
was being driven and the conclusion
blew out the lights on their caps.
As soon as the nature of the accident
became known word was sent to the

They made their way with the greatest

Doctors from all parts Of the region
were summoned, and two OF them de-

"OFFICER 666" ON
A RETURN TRIP
Theatregoers Delighted Last Week.
Another Engagement Wednesday
at Jefferson Theatre

A battle of wits that Is viewed with
intense interest as waged by the sleuth
and the cracksman in "Officer $685. has
made that play one of the most interest
ing dramas given to the American stage
in many years and easily one of the
most talked about. 1t succeeded in Great
ing sensation when presented in New
York and Chicago a year ago, wnere
the interest aroused kept the box office
busy and the theatres crowded during
record runs in the eastern and western
metropolises.
''Officer e66," which will be seen
Wednesday, matinee and night at the
Jefferson theatre, is a jolly farce, and
the secret of its appeal may be attri-
buted to the riddle that its plot presents
the solving of which is accomplished in
a maze of merriment, heightened by the
unfolding of a charming love story that
threads the three acts of Augustin Mac
Bughs detective story.
When seen here last week, "Officer 666
made such strong impression as a
real farce that Manager Douglas of the
jefferson accepted the opportunity of 2
return engagement. That there was Z
continual laugh is a fact and interest
was maintained from start to finish.
.'Officer 666 is under the direction o.
Cohar and Harris, which means that &
splendid performance is assured. Ths
seat sale will begin at the Jefferson
theatre box office Monday morning. Th,
fact that matinee performance is to bt
given is no doubt pleasing news fol
theatregoers.
