The liberal and Independent government OF Nicaragua

an innocent population under the pretexs OF uniting
them with him to wage war against Nicaragua,
is the mcst Atrocious crime whioh could be commi ted
against the country. 1t cannot be looked other

This is serious situation and IL the disclosures of the
press and of q corrupted ministry could pass without
being taken notice Of there are other strikisg and

of laying at the feet Of Csrrera the people who by Iegs
lation have been entrusted TO you.
1t is to be hoped that BY an impulse Of honor and
rage you will recede from the brink of abyss you do not
know and do not believe that party spirit viii reach in
