port that a number of Americans who
were in business In Nicaragua ' are

Washington Preparations arc being
made for -i Cm marines to sail from
Philadelphia, either for the canal zone
or for Nicaragua next Saturday. This
will constitute the first armed force
to land In Nicaragua, if developments
in tho situation there within the next
fuv days require such a course to be
pursued. All will depend upon tho ac
tion to be taken by the state depart
ment, which Is marking time pend
ing tho report of additional details of
the two Americans, Groco and Can
non. The departure of tho marines comes
as a result of rush orders sent to the
League Island navy yard after tho
slate department received tho prelim
inary report of the slaying by Presi
dent Zelayu's orders of the two men.
It hud been intended to send tho
marines to Panama to relieve about
HSU marines now on duty there. Tho
date of departure from Philadelphia
had been set for December 3, by which
time the troopship Prairie would have
been ready to sail. Dy working night
and day tho League Island force will
be able to finish repairs on the ship
by November 27, and that date lias
now been net for the sailing of the
marines.

ment will go to Philadelphia on Fri
day to review them, ns he intended

rines now on the canal zone could be
utilized in Nicaragua in addition to
the ln() to be taken south by the Prai
rie. The next move of tho game being
played with President Zelaya of Nica
ragua will be made by Secretary Knox
and undoubtedly It will bo an import
ant and possibly a decisive one. Zel
aya has killed two Americans, it is
believed, in tho most summary nnd
brutal manner, and It Is not expected
that he will be permitted to settle
at so much a head for these or nny
other members be may see lit to kill.
It is therefore believed that some
thing more than compensation for
Groee and Cannon will be involved
in the in xt step by tho state depart
ment. Tornado Damage $50,0C0.
