NO ALLIANCE BEING FORMED
Between Nicaragua and HOndurai
Against Costa Rican Government.

| Between Nicaragua and Honduras
Against Costa Rican Government.
| Washington, August 31.-Regarding the
report that the governments of Nicaragua
and Honduras have formed a secret al
lance against Costa Rica and that arms
are being bought in Europe and the United
States with view to the overthrow OF
the existing government, Minister Correa
of Nicaragua today authorized the follow
ing statement
The governments OF Nicaragua and
Costa Rica have never been on better
terms than they are at present. There is
perfect understanding between them, and
1t is of the frendliest character. AS to
the reported alliance between Honduras
and Nicaragua there has been an alliance
de facto for many years past. They are
very good friends and they have no need
of any formal treaty alliance beyond the
de facto undertaking which has long eX-
listed. If President Zelaya has held con-
ference with President Sierra it is I'M
doubtedly due to long continued personal
acquaintance between them and also to
the tour President Sierra has been making
to points in Honduras near the Nicaraguan
boundary.
The statement that there is any joint
purpose to wrest from Costa Rica the
province of Guanacaste is of course win
by Nicaragua to Costa Rica over forty
years ago when they celebrated the treaty
fixing the boundary line, and since then
there has never been the slightest dispute
between the two countries as to that prov
ince.
has sent money to Europe. because she is
making many purchases there, but moth
ing in the way of arms, And, as to send
ing $4,000 to New York for arms, much
more than that has been sent to New
York. but II is to buy Nicaragua's tele-
graph and telephone lines and for mail
equipments. We are not thinking of war,
but are anxious for that peace and order
which will assist in developing the rich
resources of the country"
Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
Managua, Nicaragua, August l0.-The
meeting of President zelaya of Nicaragua
and President Sierra of Honduras on
board steamer July -, Is believed to
have resulted in an offensive and defen-
sive alliance between the two countries
against Salvador and probably Guatemala.

war in few months between nicaragua

water shed of the canal route throueb
Nicaragua from the Pacific to Castillo On

(Special IN The Post

Richmond, Va, August S1.-The ex-
preston of sentiment in the primariei
now being held shows the Virginia de-
mocracy to be overwhelmingly for the Chi.
cago platform and free silver. About two,
thirds of the 100 democratic members Of
the general assembly have already been
nominated. Thus far not county whereI
the proposition has been submitted hal
failed to indorse the Chicago platform and
express a preference for Bryan. No Ell
fort has been made by the State leaders ",
bring out the sentiment on this subject;
II is. indeed, highly probable that soms'
of the more Influential party men pre-i
ferred that the question of the Chicago
platform should not be referred to in thisl
campaign. There is a disposition to give,
the cold shoulder to free silver, In this
contest such feeling has made no im.s
preston upon the. rural districts.
