My protest is based upon the PROPOSE

American political measures, both patri-
otism and propriety demand that the
American people, without regard to ra-
cial antecedents, should be animated
and governed solely by desire to pro
mote the interests 4 America.
We should lay no taxes for the purpose
of injuring England and the English
people, nor for any other purposes than
such as have in view the welfare of our
own people. To use the governmental
power of this country for any purpose
not demanded by American honor or
American interest is neither patriotic
nor jrdicious.
1t is really distressing to have thrust
upon Americans the advocacy of q pOl!t-

burdens are to be increased and our own

PEACE TERMS WE'RE REFUSED

Managua, Nicaragua, March 30 wi,

consisting of DR.. Prudente Alfaro. vioa
president of Salvador; General Comlino
of Salvador, and Senior Romirez, Mica.
raguan minister of foreign affairs bas
returned here from La PaZ. where =
conference with the representatives Of
the insurgent Leonists had been held
The terms offered by President Zelava
are understood to be absolute surran.
der of all arms, payment of all war ex-
penses and surrender of the leaders for
trial The insurgents not only refused
to accept these terms, but demanded
that the president turn over to them
the government of Nicaragua. Conse-
duentlY the war will be continued with
renewed bitterness on both sides There
is great excitement here. Steps are be-
ing taken to reinforce the troops at the
front and begin then advance on Leon
as soon as the much needed supplies of
ammunition reach the government
forces. The government is said to be
hard pressed for funds as we'll as am
munition, which facts are not unknown
to the Leonists, who are understood to
be receiving secret support from Guat-
emala and other sources, which may re.
suit in compiled tons likely to cause a
general war throughout Central Amer
lea.
1t Is suggested that this is a good OPP
portunity for intervention upon the part
of the United States with a view to
bringing about a peaceful settlement of
the question in dispute, as conflict in
volving all the Central American re-
publics would put a serious check upon
the business and development of the
natural resources of Central America.
