RRIrIsH ALL CALM

LONDON, Feb "a (P-The order
issued by the British government
for the light cruiser Colombo to
proceed to Nicaragua has attracted
only slight attention from the aver>
age Britisher. The press ana or,
tcials say the dispatch of the vessel
offers no infraction of the Monroe
doctrine.
Officials, anticipate no such Incl
dent as occurred in 1895 over the
clash between Great Britain and
Venezuela concerning the British
Guiena boundary when President
Cleveland objected so strenuously
and Anglo-American diplomatic rela-
tions were severely strained until
arbitration was agreed on. A similar
situation arose in Venezuela in 1908,
when British, Italian and French
warships blockaded Venezuelan ports
in an effort to force President Castro
to pay reparations to their nationals
whose investments had suffered
through revolutions and political in
trigues. That question was finally
referred to The Hague after Presi-
dent Roosevelt had declared that the
blockade violated the Monroe doc
trine.
Tie British foreign office, however.
holds that the present order to the
Colombo does not affect the Mon
roe doctrine and that the Colombo
is going to Nicaragua merely as a
refuge for British nationals.
The Colombo was said to be in
structed to stand off Bluefields, with
out sending a landing party ashore
and to keep in readiness to take
on British subjects in case their
lives are in danger by the civil war
fare now in progress.
The attitude of British officials is
that no pressure will be brought to
bear on Nicaragua and that the in
cident is wholly unlike those which
caused presidents Cleveland and
Roosevelt to take such virogous
stand in Venezuela. The officials
emphasized that the Colmbo was not
ordered to Nicaragua until the Amer
lean minister there indicated that he
was unable to give further assurances
of American protection of foreign
life and property.

HOUSE CONCURS
WITH SENATE ON
CRUISER BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a lP.-Revers-
ing it's previous stand and disregard
ing the wishes of President Coolidge,
the house today concurred with the
senate in appointing funds toward con-
struction of three light cruisers al
ready authorized
BY vote of 20S to 172 the house
provided, however, only $45O,OOO in
stead of the $1,200OO0 voted recently
by the senate, but there were indica-
reduction. If the senate concurs the
naval appropriation BILL to which the
amendment would be tackeo, will go
directly to President Coolidge.
The senate proposal of $1,200,000 was
not voted on by the house, the $450,000
amendment which was suggested by
Representative Tilson, the republican
leader, when the bill first was before
the house, being offered as substitute
by Chairman Butler, of the naval COM
mittee.
It was accepted after three hours of
debate, which found Speaker Long
Garret, the minority leader, supporting
the provision with pleas of an adequate
naval defense.
Representative French, republican,
idaho, in charge of the bill, and Repre-
sentative Burton, republican, Ohio,
who were largely responsible for de-
feat, by vote of 1873 to 161, of the crui-
ser proposal last month, bore the brunt
of the fight today assisted by Chair
man Madden, of the appropriations
committee. They argued for support
of the president in his effort to organ
ize another conference for further limi->
tation of armament and declared that
to appropriate for the cruisers would
embarrass his efforts and constitute a
challenge to the world.
The S45O,OOO would do little more
than provide plans for the ships,
opinion being sharply divided whether
the navy department could let con-
tract for construction. Madden declared
contracts could not be awarded and
that funds even for blue prints would
come from another source already pro-
vided for, while Tilson maintained the
only value of the appropriation would
be to- continue the authorization for the
ships, which would expire July /.

Beheadings and shootings which the
proclamation of Lii Pao Chang, Suns
defense commissioner, admits were by
his orders, without question and with
out trial, probably totaled within five
days at least 100. Half of these were
done in public wherever the victims
were found, but it believed that at
least SO Chinese were executed in
prisons and within military enclos-
ures.
Agents of the commissioner were
known to have penetrated the French
concession and kidnapped some 80 ma

were reported to have taken place in
the International settlement, but these
were not confirmed.
The Chinese kidnapped from foreign
territory were carried off to military
headquarters, and whether they were
executed was not known.
simultaneously proclamations de-
clared at least truce in the political
strike and sent throngs of workers
