a little later President Zelaya discusses
the Nicaragua canal subject at some length.
In the course of this he says:
Il believe 1t opportune to say, now that
they agitate this question warmly in the
United States, that the government has the
best disposition to enter into arrangements
with the old construction company notwI.h-
standing that they, perhaps from causes in
dependent of thei- Will, were not able to
comply with one of the principal stipula-
lions of the contract, which was the cutting
Of the canal at Zpitapa. But 1t rests with
Americans, with whom our commercial re-
lations have been very close and advanta-
geous; the commerce of the world already
needs this communication; Nicaragua will
agSrandize herself with the opening of this
canal, and for these considerations the gov
eminent is animated with the best inten-
lions in favor of this colossal enterprise -
The president concludes his letter as fol-
lows:
Il am grateful for the interest which YOU
take in the republic of Nicaragua, and Civ
ing you now my thanks, 1 sign myself,
your servant, j. s. ZELAYA.'
Commissioner Locayo states that he is
going to Greytown. The general impress
sion Is that he will be superseded by a COM
missioner who will be more acceptable to
the government of the United States The
present government is very much in need
of money, and the signed agreement Of the
merchants not to pay any more duties ex-
cepting in the scrip of the Mosquito group
Will result in complete financial ruin of the
provisional government

ON THE MOSQUITO COAST.
Zelnya Describes the State of Affairs
in That Troubled Country,


BLUEFIELDS Nicaragua. June 10. via
New Orleans. June 25.-P-esident Zelaya, by
request of the special correspondent of the
Associated Press, has written a letter out
lining his position concerning the Mosquito
reservation. The lette. Is dated Managua,
May 70.
At the outset the president says: THE
present state of this coast does not cores
pond with the demands Of life with which
it is endowed. and / am sorry to say that
the conservative party, which before the
revolution of July, directed the politics of
this country, may not have lent any atten-
ton to these rich regions, to the extent Of
not having profited by the magnificent ways
of communication with the United States
and Europe which nature so cheerfully
gives U.S. Their negligence may have gone
so far as to have almost lost the bay and
city OF San Juan Del Norte (Greytown).
I'm order to promote the advancement and
civilization Of those regions, Special Com
missioner DR.. Jose Madriz was sent person
ally to gather data and documents relative
to this affair, to dictate the measures nee
essay, to maintain order and give guaran-
tees to all Inhabitants of that region, and
finally to point out what he believed ex-
pedient to give impulse to commerce. to
favor national and foreign interests and to
make of this extensive and rich territory a
civilized district, where immigrants can
come with all confidence to promote its ma
terial and intellectual advancement by
means of honorable labor and the profess
sons usual in cultivated countries.
Minister Madriz has already returned to
this capital and is preparing his informa-
ton, which will be extensive, minute and
detailed. as 10 required by the many OBJ
servations made in these places for the bet
terment Of their condition; he has studied
what they need to hasten their progress,

Secretary George E. Emmons Of the citi-
Gems Pythian encampment committee has
issued call for a meeting Of that COM
mittee at the warder building this after
noon at O'Clock. The main work of this
committee today will be to hear the report
which will be submitted by the subcom-
mittee on plan of work. This subcommit-
tee has been laboring over this matter for
the past week. and its report will be ex-
haustive. and II is expected TO thoroughly
cover the ground. There Is no question but
that the citizens committee will indorse the
propositions OF this subcommittee; that the
Pythians' executive committee will ratify
what the citizens committee does and
that the encan pment preparations will 60
forward with q bound from this time for

is the location Of the headquarters of the
committee
The Pythisns' executive committee will
hold meeting at the wsrder building at

sisters, mothers and widows of knights OF
Pythias to form an organization. This
permission was taken advantage Of and
now the Order. Of Pythian Sisters has a
membership OF over $1,000 scattered
throughout nearly every state and terri
tory in the Union. Large numbers of
them VIII be here In August. They will

A special dispatch to The Evening Star.
dated Richmond. Va. June q. says:
r. E. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans,
had a stormy session last night at their
regular weekly meeting, over the grafton
of Rev DR.. Cave, delivered here on the 30th
Of MAY last. letter addressed to the
camp. and sent by a G. A. r. post in Chi
cago, was the occasion Of the unusually spir-
tied debate. The letter sought to secure
from the camp a statement as to whether
or not that body Endorsed the utterances
Of Rev. r. C. Cave in his address. A clip
ping from a northern paper containing d
denunciation of Mr.. Caves and Gen. Ross
er's remarks was Enclosed with the let
ter.
As soon as the letter was read the men,
bers OF the camp began a discussion as
to what disposition they should make of
the communication.
Before the debate had proceeded very far
fuel was added to the little flame of indig-
nation that was beginning to manifest it.
self by statements made by members to
the effect that business men in Richmond
had, as individuals. received similar letters
from northern people.
one gentleman said that in a business
communication from northern firm he
was asked If he approved of the sentiments
expressed by Mr.. Cave. He said he made a
respectful reply but that he did indorse all
Mr.. Cave had said
1t developed that a good many similar
communications, some half threatening in
their character. had been sent to Rich
mond Some members were In favor of
making a reply to the inquiries of the post
In Chicago telling that body that the camp
approved of every sentence of Mr. Caves
address. There were many veterans who
argued that the post was out hunting for
political capital. and that nothing would
please them more than to receive such a
letter.
Those who took this view Of the subject
thought the letter should go unanswered
They thought it would not be wise or ex-
pedient for the camp to become involved in
what might turn out to be long con-
troversy with the post.
The discussion was at times heated, and
always to the point. Finally a motion to
lay the subject on the table until next Fri
day night was made, and. after sharp
fight, was carried.
