Editor Of the Star: Permit me to contradict
through the Stars columns, statement publish,
ed in the Herald, of the 26th instant in regard IN
affairs In Nicaragua According to that statement
embitteIed feelings are growing each tay more
apparent between Generals Martinez and Jerez
the two leaders now at the head Of the govern

Your correspondent has received information.

and they are strong and warm friends to each
other. Being the most able and Influential rhen
in the country, they were selected by President
Rivas as the best men to give confidence to every
inhabitant of Nicaragua. This they have done;
the people Of Nicaragua being well satisfied
with their rule and their conduct, that the estab-

is now a perfect stranger to the politics of the

them, as that the grant for the Transit route has
been given to the old ship company; and defy
the erald'sinformant to produce any document,
any letter, or any evidence of that fact

by the fact Of his making Jerez the leader of the
