AN IMPROBABLE STORY.
1t Is Said That Sacaza Will Return
to Nicaragua.

" INk(dI aSdas
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-A special to the
Herald from Panama says: Ell Espanol. a
Panama newspaper, says there will be a
new revolution in Nicaragua within fort
night.
The statement Is made upon the asser-
tions OF General Leonidas Plazas, who is
now i'll Costa Rica, where he was inter-
viewed by correspondent of FL Es pan oil
in Punta Arenas.
PlazaS told the correspondent that the
Nicaragua Conservatives would invite
General Sacaza to return and aid in the
overthrow of Zelaya by starting another
revolution before the meeting of the Con-
stltuent Assembly on September Is.
The elections for choosing members of
that body were held in Nicaragua to-day.
An invitation by members of the Conser-
vative party to SacaZa to return and lead
them to revolution would be regarded as a
remarkable performance.
1t was SacaZa's oppression that started
the first revolution of the year, and Joined
with the prOgressonists in securing his
overthrow.
1t would be remarkable performance,
indeed, if his old allies. the Conservatives,
should invite their old enemy. Sacaza, to
return and lead movement for the over
throw OF Zelaya.
