Nicaragua Newspapers Fail to Take No

tice of Mr.. Merry's Arrival.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Managua, Nicaragua, April 49,
The official and semi-official newspapers
at this capital ignore the arrival here
| on April 10 of United States Minister
William Lawrence Merry. This is nota-
Die, as the newspapers are usually
prompt in courtesieS and in the publi-
cation of news of international interest
In some quarters this omission is attri-
buted to the fact that the government
| of the United States has just sent the
warship Detroit to Bluefelds to make
an investigation and protect citizens of
the United States against the decisions
and demands of General Torres who is,
by authority of President Zelaya, prac-
tlcing the dictator of BluefieIds and the
eastern part of Nicaragua. Some three
or four years ago President Zelaya
promised the government of the United
States not to employ Torres again on
the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua, be-
cause he was charged with permitting
and aiding in the escape from Nicara-
qua of prisoner in his charge, col
onel in Zelaya's army, who was
charged with mE"dering citizen of the
United States at Rama Nicaragua.
President Zelaya has recently pur-
chased from Max Fiegensmidt of Liege.
Belgium, two batteries of six cannon
rapid-fire field guns and a large GUAM
tity of ammunition, paying about 81 900
in gold for each battery. He has also
ordered through German commission
house a large number of telephone and
several telegraph Instruments, a guam
tity of copper wire and telegraph sup
plies. He has already about 100000
worth of rifles, Remington, Mausers,
etc, and about so pieces of field artil-
lery of various kinds and large sup
ply of munitions of war. The cause of
these expenditures is not apparent
There appears to be no indications of a
revolution in Nicaragua against Presi-
dent Zelaya and there appears to be no
need of more cannon and war materials
unless President Zelaya anticipates a
war with Costa Rica and wants an
extra supply of arms to distribute
among disaffected natives of Costa
Rfca.
President Zelaya is to send his pri-
waite secretary to Salvador on a special
secret mission. The object of this is
apparently to make an effort to per-
suade the government of Salvador to
form a secret alliance with Zelaya and
the president of Honduras with the OBJ
ject of keeping each of the executives
in his present position.

it to say that our route was not at
all practicable. We had a long, hard
struggle and reached Dawson the 30th
day of August-seven months and six
days from Great Falls. We came sos

Men in high places are aocus-
