Hostility to zelaya.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. Spas
sengers by to-day's steamers from Mica
raguan ports say that there is growing
feeling OF hostility toward President 2e-
laya on account OF his recent decree ex-
polling Monslgnor PerOirs. bishop OF
Nicaragua, in reply to the latter's pro-
test against the law passed by the Me-
arhguan congress on October IA, declar-
ing that all donations by the people OF
lands, cattle or other property to the
church should be subject to the civil
government, and be sold and applied to
the purposes designated by the donors
by the municipal government. instead
OF, as before, by the ecclesiastical au-
thoTIties.
Although President Zalaya Is very
popular with the Nicaraguan masses,
the edict of expulsion Is regarded as
harsh In the extreme, and the pres.
dents political opponents are improT-
ing the present occasion to bring about
a revulsion of popular feeling BY taking
advantage OF the powerful undercurrent
of clerical influence.
