The importance anil significance of
these onlers arc minimized at the
State Department, where it is said
the Tacoma has been instructed to
look out for American interests at
Bluctields.
A dispatch of Saturday says:
This city of Bluelleids. the koadquarteers
of the provisional government.
! has been thrown into alarm by a sudden
realization of the strength of the
government army against which General
Estrada, the leader of the insurgents,
had been supposed to have been
making irresistible headway. Estrada
apparently has been hoodwinked
by Zelaya and no one would be surprised
if the hitter's troops should
appear before the city at any hour.
Estrada is hoping for timely aid
from the United States.
A staff correspondent of The Assocated
l'ress who recently arrived
here has canvassed the situation and
finds it less hopeful for tlie insurgents
than has been believed.
A verv recent, ilisnnti-li Imivovor
I says, it is I lie opinion of I'anamans ,
that l'residcnt Zelaya of Nicaragua
is riditiff for a fall, that he is <le
liberately working to brine about in- ]
tervent ion by the tinted States, hav- (
injf chosen this form of humiliation ^
in preference to the jrrcat one of j
suffering defeat at the hands of revolut
ionists.
For the past sixteen years, during
which time Zelaya has been in power,
nceordimr to the statements of men ]
now on tjie isthmus who are conversant
with affairs in that republic.
N incara^ua has been ruled by a jrroup
of ear lit darinsr, clever and conseenceless
men. who have looked upon the
country as their own personal proper'
y.
This jrroup has mown enormously
rich by a systematized pilluuc of the s
revenues of the States and of indivi- <
duals. It is estimated that Zelaya is I
worth about $20,000,000 arold, most of 1
which lie has invested in Brussels I
and Loudon.
It is said tlint when these men t
wanted a piece of property they of- |
fered about one tenth of its value 1
and forced tliem to take their offer

Citizenship For Porto Ricans.
Washington. Special.?Citizen- i
ship, without serious inconvenience to
the individual, should be extended to '
those who desire it in Porto Rico,
according: to General Clarence H. I'M- 1
wards, chief of the bureau of insular
affairs, in his annual report Sunday
to the Secretary of War. As to
whether this is to be done as a whole
or by individual merit is n matter of
detail.
Trees For the Yuletide.
Washington, Special.?Does the
Yuletide with its demand for OliristI
mas trees prove a menace to the
I American forests? This question is
asked of the United States forestry
service. The subject has received the
serious consideration of the forestry
i bureau and the reply lias been sent
out that there need be no danger of
destruction if the cutting of young
evergreens for Christmas trees is
done with discrimination.

m a.Humjrion, special.?The Biltrnore
postoffice affair has evidenlv
i reached 'the White House and made
some sort of an impression on the
President. The appointment of
Luther, Representative Grant's man,
should have been sent to the Senate
Monday, but it did not appear. Evidently
somebody at Asheville is putting
up a bitter fight for Mrs. Reid,
the wlioman who held the job. Senator
Overman will hold up Uie confirmation
should the name go iu, until
the real state of affairs ran be ascertained.
Should Not Hurry Homo.
Washington, Special.?Appropriation
legislation will be undertaken by
Congress before the adjournment for
the holidays. There has been a general
supposition that all measures of
any ehareater would be postponed
until after the first of January.
Chairman Tawney of the committee
on appropriations has upset this
scheme by declaring that van appropriation
hill could be prepared and i
passed before the Christmas adjourn- |

o create a department of the governuent
which would do for the whoie
country what the bureau of corporaions
lias been doing in specific initances,
and compel complete pubicitv
in the management of interitate
corporations, is one of the
ending recommendations contained
n the annual report of the Secretary
?f Commerce and Labor made public
Sunday. Newer and tighter laws to
itarnp out the white slave trade,
vliich the secretary says is an organized
and extensive business, is the
it her.
The secretarv recommends the furher
development of the bureau of
orporations. At the end of this fist.I
year, the department still has
in hand investigations of the lumler
and steel industries, the Interlational
Harvester Company, eoncenratiou

of the fiscal and industrial
forces. Secretary Xagel says sonic
ersc things and makes some importmt
recoinuiendat ions. The prime need
if two things is emphasized. First, reliable
information upon which the
rovernnient may take legislative and
ldniinistrative action and second, reliable
information in a concise and
ivailable form to serve for the basis
if public opinion. The first step to
lie taken he savs is an advance toivard
a complete system for obtaining
and making public this information.
The bureau of corporations has demonstrated
the value of this beyond
loubt, in the limited way which its
force and money available would allaw.
