WASHINGTON1, Not. SB. The revo

the opinion of Captain Shipley, com
; mander of the United States cruiser
Dea Moines, which la off the East Coast
of Nlcarragua. The revolutionary
forces are reported to be maintaining;
an effective blockade and are patrol
ins; off Greytown with two gunboata.
Assurance waa given that American
and foreign Interests are being pro
tected. , These are important items contained
In a cablegram received at the Navy
Department today from the commander
of the Det Moinea at Port LJmon. On
November 23 tne revolutionary gun
boats fired on Oreytown. but without
effect. The revolutionary forces now
have possession of Rama, where fight
ing la likely to oceur. An officer from
the Des Motnea landed at Grey tow a.
but found only one American citisen.
Wire Silence Explained.
The State Department was advised
by the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany that. In the present Interruption
to lines In Nicaragua and Costa Rlca,
It Is possible to handle some of .the
traffic by wireless via Colon, but that
the service was not continuous. There
was no communication between Tues
day and Thursday.
This accounts for the difficulty the
department Is experiencing In Its ef
forts to reach Its diplomatic and con
sular officers at Central American
points. Renewed efforts are being
made to reach these officers.
Wireless Xot Heeded.
The State Department today re
ceived by wireless, by way of Colon, a
message of 'which the following Is a
translation:
"According to article 74J of military
ordinances. Zelaya had no right to
shoot outposts."
The message was signed "Sub-Secretary
of State Morelra." It Is assumed
he is an insurrectionist. It was stated
that the Department would not reply
to Moreira.
Greytown Hemmed In.
Captain Shipley reported briefly upon
condition on the Atlantic Coast of Nica
ragua, which is entirely in the possession
of insurgent forces, with the exception of
: Oreytown proper, where General Toledo,
of President Zelaya'a army, is hemmed
in by land and sea by the revolutionists.
The Nlcaraguan revolutionists are
gaining ground, according to advices re
ceived from the captain of the Des
Moinea.
The only American warship on the
West Coast of Nicaragua is the Vlcks
burg. lying off Corinto, but no word has
come from that ship in the last two days,
interrupted telegraphic communications
being the only explanation of it. It has
got to be a matter of common note that
the telegraph fails In the most perfect
weather when the government tries to
communicate with onu of the Consular
Agents In times of revolution In Central
is accepted as being practically cer
tain that explanation to be made by the
Nioaraguan government of the conditions
under which the two Americans. Groce
and Cannon, were executed, will be un
satisfactory to the State Department.
Spy Theory Scouted."
From any point, the official view Is
that the men were free from the charge
of being spies and were entitled to be
regarded as prisoners of war, and there
fore not subjeat to the death penalty.
Moreover, if they were captured In Costa
Rica, as reported, the act was in clear
violation of Costa Rlcan sovereignity, and
may involve Costa Rica In war with the
Zelayan Government If the American
Government turns to Costa Rlca for redress.
BRITOXS RECOGNIZE ESTRADA

COLON, Nov. 25. A wireless dispatoh
from Blueflelds, Nicaragua, dated No

savs: '
"The British cruiser Scylla arrived
here Sunday and leaves today. Com
mander Bertram S. Thesiger, of the
cruiser, made an official visit to Provis
ional President Estrada yesterday
(Tuesday).
' "Since the announcement was made
that the American Government had rec
ognized the revolutionists, enthusiasm
here has become more Intense. Volun
teers from the plantations and gold
mines are eagerly offering their serv
ices to General Kstrada."

Grace and Cannon, the Americans, were
captured by General Toledo near Grey
town. President Zelaya ordered them
shot. Toledo refused to obey the order,
but had them placed in the front ranks,
where they were open to General Cham
orro's attack. Tney were uninjured and
subsequently sent to a dungeon In El
Castillo fort. General Chamorro says he
knows nothing further regarding Grace
and Cannon.
Chamorro declares the blockade of
Greytown Is effective by sea and by land
and he is confident that troops of Gen
eral Zelaya will soon give In. He will
leave tonight for Greytown with 300 re
cruits and a party of sharpshooters.
Conditions here are quiet. t

Greytown Near Famine.
COLON. Nov. 25. It is stated in re
liable quarters here that Groce and
Cannon, the Americans executed re
cently, were shot and burled by order
of President Zelaya. They were with
General Chamorro and were captured
in a fight near Colorado Junction.
Great Indignation is felt here.
The captain of a boat who paid a
visit to President Estrada at Grey
town yesterday, says that General
Chamorro's blockade is effective. A
heavy sea Is running, which, he eays,
prevents the escape of the Zelayan
forces. Greytown is devoid of provi
sions and the Zelayan troops are ex
pected soon to capitulate. Two. hun
dred deserters from the government
troops joined General Estrada yester
day. The men were famished.

-OF JUDICIAL CODE.
Joint Congress Committee's Meetings
Likely to Continue Until
Eve of Session.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Nor. 25. When Congress reaches
the bill now being prepared by the Joint
committee on revising of laws, codifying
the Federal statutes relating to Federal
Courts, their Jurisdiction and powers,
there will be a fight on the antl-shjunc-tion
features. It is within- the power of
Congress to write Into the law new pro
visions not now of the statutes, and ad
vocates of an antl-lnjunction law will
propose and fight for amendments which
conform to the demands of Samuel Gom
pers and other labor leaders. Thus far,
antl-lnjunctlon bills have been smothered
In committees, but the consideration of
the code will present an opportunity for
having these measures voted upon In
both Senate and House, and before any
vote Is possible, especially in the Senate
there must be protracted debate.
This one feature alone may prevent
the- passage of the new code bill at the
next session. - .
The Joint committee met here Tues
day to help the preparation of its bill.
a i,at r,-,n ffT- the nenal code, re
vised by this committee, was passed, and
It Is expected that the "Judiciary titles"
may be disposed of at the coming session.
On Joint committee, of which Senator
Hevburn Is chairman, are Senators Piles
(Wash.), Sutherland Utah), Money
(Miss.), and McLaurin (Miss.), and Rep
resentatives Moon (Pa.). Denby (111.),
Parsons (N. T.). Houston (Tex), and
Sherley (Ky.). The committee will hold
meetings every day until their bill Is In
shape and the Indications are that their
sessions will carry them clear to Decem
ber 6. when Congress meets. .

"INSURGENTS" WIN POINTS
So-Called Progressive Element Gets
Sweeping Victory In Report Soon
to Be Made Public
Reform Due.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (Special.)
Not since the Spanish War revealed
the startling weakness of our mili
tary establishment and its subsequent
drastlo reorganization, which Ellhu
Root, then Secretary of War, succeded
In bringing about, has there appeared
a more general naval upheaval than Is
one foreshadowed In a report which
the Swift board has made.
This Is a board of eminent officers
which the Secretary of the Navy ap
pointed several months ago, and which
has been collecting material for Its re
port, not only In this country, but
among the admlialtles of all military
nations.
Report Xot Made Public.
The report will not be made publlo
for several days. The chief recommen
dation contemplates the establishment
of an advisory board modeled on simi
lar lines to that-of the British admir
alty. Another looks to a thorough re
organization of navy-yard adminis
tration. There were Issues for which the "In
surgents," as the younger and more pro
gressive element of the Navy have chosen
to call themselves, have fought for so
long.
"Insurgents" have won every essential
point for which they fought. For them it
Is a sweeping victory. The power of the
bureau Is curtailed, and by the estab
lishment of an advisory board the co
ordination pf such little, power as has
been left, the bureaus, is assured.
Reform Continues.
Nor does the reform stop here. It ex
tends, to the administration of the navy
yards, whose maladministration has been
notorious for so long a time.
Here, instead of the many divisions of
authority which have hitherto obtained,
there will be two great departments, in
terdependent and uryjer direct control of
the line. One will be concerned with ship
construction and the other with steam
engineering.
There will be subdivisions, but all of
these will be responsible to the two great
heads.
THEY THREW NO. BOMBS
Altman Brothers Acquitted of Wreck
lng Chicago Factory.
CHICAGO. Nov. 25. Vincent and Joseph
Altman, accused..-of having thrown a
bomb which wrecked the plant of the
Standard Sash & Door Company in this
city in 1908, were found not guilty today
in Judge Tuthlll's court.
One of the sensations of the trial was
the testimony of Bruno Verra, who de
clared that he had seen the defendant
brothers make a 'bomb, and knew that
they had set Ore to a number of buildings
as the agents of a labor union.
The trial was begun November 5. An
attempt was made to connect the de
fendants with the repeated bomb-throwing
which has marked the course of what
Is known as the "gamblers war- in tnis
city.
