MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. H.
Correspondence Of the Associated

with the arguments put forth by Sec
retary Sherman in support of the ap-
pointment of Captain William L. Merry
Of San Francisco as minister of the
United States to Nicaragua, Costa Rica
the diet. 1t is claimed here in certain
quarters that this step was taken in
order to force the United States govern
ment, if possible, to fully recognize the
diet, although it is claimed that body
may be overturned almost any day by
a successful revolution in Nicaragua,
Costa Rica or Salvador, or by the with
drawal from it of any one of the presi-
dents governing the state he represents.
The reply of the diet will probably be
forwarded to the United States state
department on October 10th to goth. 1t
may be here pointed out that the feel
ing Of opposition to the president or
"dictators' of the states Of the Greater
Republic Of Central America is steadily
growing in bitterness and in this coun
try the people are suffering greatly
under the rule Of their president, Cen
eral Zelaya.
Since the disbanding Of the revolu-
tionists of September last, who attempt
ed to achieve political and personal lib
erty by attacking the forces Of President
Zelaya, and, failing in this effort, were
driven to seek refuge in Costa Rica, the
masses here have been made to feel the
weight of the iron heel and their re-
sentiment has been intensified by the
merciless acts Of Zelaya and his follow
ers, I. D. Gomez and M. c. Matusa. who.
it is claimed, have acted like bandits,
going so far as to shoot men who were
accused of taking part in the revolu-
tiun OF September the decision of
hastily formed courts martial COM

ing the past two years, it is asserted
on good authority, more than 10000 ma
tive Nicaraguans have been compelled
to leave their homes and country. Those
who have left include representatives
Of some of the oldest, most patriotic and
most distinguished families of the coun-
try. To make matters worse, nobody
seems to know where all the money coll
lected by forced loans goes, and the cur
rent belief is that Zelaya and his friends
have been sending large sums abroad in
order to feather the nests to which they
may eventually have to fly.
