deed Thousand Dollars Destroyed
as Result of Explosion of Uncer
tain Orijcin In Express Office.
A special dispatch to The Btate
says as a result of the explosion of
a presto-carbon tank In the Southern
Express company's office Thursday
night, Friday morning found about
a half block of Camden's finest
business places In ashes, one color
ed man probably killed, though this
could not be verified; two prominent
young men badly hurt, and five oth
ers painfully Injured.
About 7:30 o'clock Thursday night
a severe shock was felt all over
the town and people rushed from
their homes and places of -business
to find flames already gushing from
Watkin Brothers' establishment and
the ‘express office and to learn that
the exploalon had broken the wall
between the express office and Wat
kins’ store, causing It to fall on
the occupants of the latter, not one
of them escaping without Injury.
Those In the store at the time
were Willie Salmond. .Andre*
Whitaker, Charlie Watkins, Willie
Watkins and Arthur Watklna
•Messrs. Whitaker and Arthur Wat
kins were badly hurt, while the oth
ers escaped with severe bruises.
Had all of the men been as badly
hurt as Messrs. Whitaker and Wat
kins. It is likely that none would
have escaped. Fortunately, however,
three of the men were able to free
themselves from the wreckage and
get the other two out with the as
sistance of other men who happen
ed to be neer et band before the
building was aflame. The lose Is
estimated at over $100,000.
It la generally thought that the
exploalon waa that of a ptesto-car-
bon tank which bad come to the ex-
presa offlve consigned to W. R. De-
Loache for automobile lighting. It
was stated by employes of the ex
press office that the tank was some
distance from the stove, which had
little or no fire la It, and the cause
of the explosion Is practically un
known.
The explosion threw the walls on
either side in to the Watkins'
Brothers And Baruche-Nettles ee-
Ubllahment respectively. Fortu
nately. however, the express office
and the Baruche-Nettles slore had
closed some time before and only
the occupants in Watkins Brother*
were hurt. The explosion ahatter-
ed glasses throughout the city, prin
cipally on Main street, and the shock
could be distinctly felt for miles
many thinking that It was an earth

Naval forces of the United States
are being moved forward to both
coasts of Central America for the
purpose of protecting AmerTcah Hfe
and property In Nicaragua by force
of arms, if the necessity arises.
With the departure late Thursday
from Philadelphia of the troopship
Prairie, with 700 marines aboard
for the isthmus of Panama, and if
it be so decreed, for Nicaragua, and
•with the sailing from Magdalena
bay of the protected cruiser Albany
and the gunboat Yorl^town for Cor-
into on the Pacific coast of Nicara
gua, the
war like acUvity of the the Zelaynn admlnlatratlon. The let-
navy department was becoming man-
Iflest on both oceans that wash the
Nicaragua shores.
Besides, the cruiser Dee Moines
and Tacoma and the gunboat Mariet
ta are lying off Port Llmon, Costa
Rica, ready for any call upon them
and the guns of the little gunboat
Vicksburg are pointed towards the
customs house and town of Corlnto.
The gunboat Princeton is endeavor
ing to make her way from the Brem
erton navy yard, Washington, to Cor
lnto also.
In addition the transport buffalo,
according to what Is said to be the
plan of the officials responsible, will
sail from Panama for Corinto, with
probably as many as 1,199 marines
aboard, soon after tbs Pralre, which
left Philadelphia a few days ago,
with about 700 marines, arrives at
Colon.
On the Albany are about 280 blue
Jackets and on the Vicksburg, York-
town and Princeton, al>out 150 each.
These, together with the marines,
would make an army equal to any
organiatlon reported to be serving
under Zelaya.
At the same time, the United
States will have a formidable force
within striking distance of tbo At
lantic coast In case of danger to
American lives or property In that
section of Nicaragua.
At Port Llmon. Costa Rica, are
anchored the cruisers Des Moines
and Tacoma, each with 280 men
aboard, and the gunboat Marietta,
with 160 men.

ter la definitely declared to represent
the views of President Taft, and Is
about as plain-spoken at anything
emanating from the State department
In years.
The extraordinary feature of the
letter la that It seema to evince an
Intention on the part of the United
States to hold President Zelaya per
sonally responsible for the alleged
torture and execution of the Ameri
cans, Cannon and Groce, and ex
hibits the unique situation of ons
government holding the Chief Exe
cutive of another Presidency as a
common malefactor. Zelaya is
branded as a violator of solemn in
ternational conventions, a disturber
of the national and international
peace, a tyrant whose administration
has been a blot upon the name of
good government.
Secretary Knox virtually announc
es the recommendation of the Nic
araguan revolutionists, declares It to
be the conviction of the United States
that the revolution represents the
sentiments qf a majority of the Nic
araguan people, and that there is
evidently no responsible Government
with which the United States can
deal. He therefore announces that
all parties will be held accountable
for their actions as affecting the
Interests of Americana and the peace
of Central America. He further in
forms Scnor Rodriguez that while
he has lost his diplomatic quality,
he may still serve as an "unofficial"
channel of communication with the
faction which he Is regarded as rep
resenting. ,
This brings the crisis as near to
the status of war as it could be
brought by executive action without
a definite declaration by both houses
of Congress, which will convene next
Monday.
Knox's Letter.
Secretary Knox's letter to Senor
Rodriguez Is as follows:
"Since the Washington conven
tions of 1907, it Is notorious that
President Zelaya has almost contin
uously kept Central America In ten
sion or turmoil, that he has repreat-
edly and flagrantly violated the pro
visions of the convention, and by
a baleful Influence upon Honduras,
whose neutrality the conventions

"The goverhment of the United
States ia convinced that the revolu
tion represents the ideals and the
will of s majority of the Nicara
guan people more fsltbfulljfc than
does the government of President
Zelaya, and that its peaceable con
trol is well-nigh aa extenalve aa that
hitherto so sternly attempted by the
government at Managua.
“There ie now added the fact, as
officially reported from more than
one quarter, that there are already
indications of a rising In the Wes
tern provinces in favor of a Presi
dential candidate Intimately asso
ciated with the old regime.
!jU la easy to see new element*
tending toward a condition of An
archy which leaves, at a given time,
no definite responsible source to
which the government of the Unit
ed States could look for reparatlou
for the killing of Messrs. Cannon
and Groce, or Indeed, for the protec
tion which must be assured Ameri
can citizens and American Interest*
la Nicaragua.
“In these circumstances the Pres
ident no kmffer feels for the gov
ernment of President Zelaya that
respect and confidence which would
make It appropriate hereafter to
maintalfl with It regular diplomatic
relations, implying the will and the
ability to respect and aaanme what
la due from one State to another.
“The government of Nicaragua,
which you have hitherto represented
Is hereby notified, as will be also
the leaders of the revolution, that
the government of the United State*
will hold strictly accountable for the
protection of American life and prop
erty .the factions de facto in control
of the eastern and western portions
of the Republic of Nicaragua.
"As for the reparation found due,
after careful consideration, for the
killing of Messrs. Groce and Cannon,
the government of the United States
would be loath to Impose upon the
Innocent people of Nicaragua too
heavy harden of expiating the acts
of a regime forced upon them, or to
exa«t from a succeeding government.

Into the questions of ultimate re

practically an ultimatum, but he is
declared to have dispatched special
agents to Washington to endeavor to
have tbe g 6tate dopartsnemt'a ulti
matum set aside, flrat by appaala
to the department, and aeondly by
direct appeals to member* of Con-
greaa. The Bute department Is en
tirely aware of the presence and
identity of theee emlasariea. These
special agents are being watched In
a general way.
It was reported that any attempt
that Zelaya might make to escape
from the country would receive the
direct and vigorous attention of the
American warships now lying off the
coasts of Nicaragua. Secrc'ary Knox
has intimated in the plainest lan
guage that tbe State department
looks upon Zelaya aa the man re
sponsible for the torture and death
of the two Americans, Groce and
Cannon.
The plan to deflect the United
States government program with ref
erence to Nicaragua came to light
when Senor Fernando Sanchez and
Dr. V. M. Roman arrived at Wash
ington. Neither Senor Sanches nor
Dr. Roman would talk. They gave
their address as New York.
Members of the Central American
diplomatic corps, however, were in
a flutter when they discovered the
new arrivals. Senor Sanchez, they
declared, la a partner of Zelaya in
many of the latter's business ven
turee in Nicaragua, and he has man
aged to amass a fortune of betweev
four and five million dollar* in gold.
Dr. Roman, the report continued,
long has boon Senor Sachez's busi
ness adviser, and he also Is a close
friend and adherent of Zelaya.
During Friday afternoon and early
evening more than a score of tele
grams were dispatched from Senor
Sanchez's rooms. Almost an equally
large number were received. ''This
telegraphic activity , the Central
Americans insist, is aimed at mem
bers of Congress, with a view of
winning over enough of them to
render the Adminietration’a present
program inoperative in the event It
is presented to Congress.
Dr. Salvator Caatrillo, the diplo
malic agent of the provisional gov
ernment of Nicaragua and represen-
tative of the revolutionists, here,
made formal request to Secretary
Knox that he be received on equal
terms with the agents of the Zeiaya
government. It is generally believ
ed that Dr. Castrillo’s request will
be granted.
While making all preparations for
action, this government has resumed

Secretary Knox's note. There ^ere
