WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 No official

fined intimations from official «h
that such recognition before condit

expected that such action will be taken
at present.
President Zelaya having abandoned his
post, the State Department regards Ma-

would view with regret any recognition
beyond that of lending him moral sup-

gard him as entitled.

Twelve Men Go to Heath Almost in
Sight of Land, and Are Not Even
Known to Be Missing Until
Survivors Reach Port.
NMW YORK, Jan. 1. Such are the for-
tunes of those who "go down to the sea
in ships" tPat twelve men were lost last
Thanksgiving day when the British
schooner Johanna went down not 130
miles from the Delaware breakwater,
were not even known to be missing until
tin- survivors were brought to port today
from St. Thomas. Danish West Indie3,
by t he steamer Koron.
"Tin Johanna was bound for the break-
water trom the Philippines for orders,"
said <'apt. (' A. Nicker.son today. "When
she bei ame unseaworthy in heavy weath-
er two lifeboats were put out—one with
thirteen men aboard, of wlihh 1 took
command, and the other with twelve
men. From moment to moment we saw
the other boat heave up against the sky-
line on the < rest of « wave and then
presently we saw her no more.
"We wue picked up ourselves by the
Nov.. Scotlan schooner K. A. Sabean and
carried to the West Indies."
On tii' morning of Thanksgiving day
tl ' ship's port seams began opening tip
fast The men heaved like rowers at
the pumps' arms, but no water came. (
For a moment tne captain was puzzled
and then he remembered his cargo — the
Johanua was laden with sugar, it was
elenr enough what was happening. Down
in the ship's hold the sugar bags were
.•welling to the bursting point with sea
wat« !'. and as they burst they filled the
bold with a thick treacle that clogged
tli'- pumps. With the pumps disabled ilie i
late of the schooner was settled.

the boss?' was his query, as he glanced
around the office. No one replied at once
and he repeated the question. The man-

SOME THY ALL THE OFFICES.
Advent of Office Buildings En-
courages Migration.
Roosevelt In Africa is missing all the
fun in the hunting line, think San An-
tonlans who have had the delightful task
of hunting for men In their offices during
the last three or four months.
Men who have offices are having a
terrible time Just now. For the last six
months announcements of the opening
of new office buildings have been coming
in steadily. Each of these office build-
ings has some specialty In the way of lo-
cation or convenience that particularly
appeals to the humble renter of an of-
fice.
Calling the tru«ty move-man to his aid.
h" picks up desk and typewriter, takes
the picture of Theodore Roosevelt and
the calendar girl off the wall, wajts while
Miss Punchthnlfabet puts on her hat, and
away they go for a new' office room.
It is lovely. The breeze is fine. Ahe
view of the city Is better. The elevator
hoy is more accommodating. The build-
ing is kept clean. Tho building looks
pretty.
Then comes another announcement of
another office building and lo, It ts just
as good as tne one he is now occupying,
but much closer to all the places he de-
sires to reach when iio leaves the office.
The move-man gets another swat at
that desk and places a few more dents
in it. Roosevelt, with stern, immovable
countenance, is lifted from the wall,
placed carefully face to face with the
calendar girl, and away they go to the
next place.
Thus the life of the stenographer Is one
long succession of joy. Where Is the
woman who does not love to move at In-
tervals of thirty days?
But this is how It works for the rest
Of the world:
"Rav, Mr. Elevator Boy. does Mr. Jump
(Tpanddown have an office In this build-
ing?"
"He uster, but he ain't now."
"Well, where Is lie now?"
"Do you know where the big office
buildings are and the names of them .'"
"No.'
"Well, thei I can't tell you. Go and
find him."
"Say, Mr. Drugstore Man, have you &

"Help yourself, eir."
"Thanks."
"Ah, here he is—O. U. Jump I'pand-

"Say, Mr Elevator Man. I want to go

Look him up in the telephone directory."
"Oh, happy thought. Thanks, kind ele-
vator man. I am off."
"Ah, here he Is—O. IT. Jump Upand-

GIRLS SEE TAFT IN PAJAMAS.
After Riding Far on President's Car to
(iet Sight of Him, They See Hint.
Derby, Conn.—When It was known that
President Taft was to pass through this
city on bis way to Watertown, Miss I.lllle
Flvnn and Miss Elmlra Johnson, pretty
telephone girls In the local office, decided
to take the same train Saturday nnd
shake bands with the Nation's executive.
They were at the station before "
o'clock in the morning In case he should
have n special, hut bad over two hours
t<» wait. When the regular express ar-
rived at 7:.'{0 with the Presidents car
attached the young women boarded the
train. At. Ansonla. where tho train was
delayed for water ten minutes they
paraded in front of the car in the hope
that the President would appear, for at
that, city resides Charles F. Hooker, ono
of the Republican National committee,
hut on inquiry they were told that the
President was still In bed.
"We'll see him if we have to go to
Watertown," the girls declared. They
boarded the train again, and when a
stop was made in Naugatuck the young
women again alighted. They again
walked back and forth In front of the
President's car. and .lust as they decided
they would have to continue the trip, the
President arose from bis couch clad in
Ills pajamas.
The girls screamed and rushed for the
depot, but the story got out and the girls
have had many calls at central congratu-
lating them on their determination on
weeing the President, even In pajamas.—
