protest, much less resistance. Two or
three Of the cabinet officers offered TO
serve under the new president, but he
curtly refused their offer. Il have my
own men" he said. IF you would de-
seTt your present leader, you would de-
seTt me-
One man remained importunate. The
general took him by the arm and led
him to a window fronting on the street.
DO you see that tree?" he asked. IF
you say another word I viii call in my
men and order them to lead you out
and shoot you beneath it."
Thus it was that General Jose Santos
Zelaya, the reigning president Of Mica
ragUa, came into power. He has been
the Caesar Of this country for five or
six yeare. and, from present indications.
seems likely to have as long lease OF
Office as Guzman Blanco had IN Vene-
zuela. There is nobody ii sight strong
enough to overthrow him. Several
prominent Nicaraguans have tried. and
had good reason TO regret their temer-
ity.
No sooner was Zelaya firmly seated
in power than he began to sigh for
fresh conquests. He induced the neigh
boring republics of Honduras and sal
vadoT to join Nicaragua in a federation
under the title Of THE United States Of
central America, Nicaragua of course
being the dominant partner. The fed
Grafton was agreed TO by a treaty
signed at Managua on August %. 1888.
But 1t soon became evident that Zelaya
intended to be president Of the new re-
public and rule it automatically, as he
ruled his own country. Three months
sufficed 10 prove the futility of the
scheme, and on November 90 the fed
Grafton was dissolved. Honduras and
Salvador resuming their sovereignty as
independent republics.
Ever since then Zeiaya's ambition
has been to weld into one federation
the five republics of Central America
Nicaragua, Honduras, Salvador, Cos
Ia Rica and Guatemala-and TO make
himself the ruler of that federation.
This ambition Of his has led to several
petty wars and revolutions, and set the
whole Of Central America by the ears.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-01-17

Zelaya is a great fighter, and has
proved his personal courage on many
field of battle.
In a skirmish with some revolution
lists. soon after he became president, -
said an Englishman, who lived for sew
eral years in Nicaragua, ''he was beset
by seven Of the enemy. who rushed
upon him suddenly from an ambush
while he was watching the night from a
distance through a pair Of fieldglasses.
He shot four of them with his re-
voiver. and put the others to fight.
They fred at him several times at the
distance of a few PAGES. but only one
bullet touched him, woundins him
slightly on the left ear. Since then the
more ignorant and superstitious of the
Nicaraguans have believed that ne is
in league with the devil, and is in
vulnerable to bullets and swords Ger
t2inly his many marvellous escapes on
the battlefield and from plots TO sssas-
sinate him lend color to that belief.
Some people say that he shares It him
self"
News was brought to Zeiaya BY his
spies in the summer of 1899 that a
revolution was being organized. in
which several Of the officers of his
army were involved. They were to
meet at the house Of one OF the con-
spirators that evening TO arrange the
final details Of the uprising.
While they were eagerly discussing
the best way to seize the president
the door opened and in walked the
president himself.
Good evening, gentlemen" he said
pleasantly. Il heard you had q party
here this evening and I thought / would
look in ana share the fuR. Quite q

You all seem TO be very serious. Dis

And so he went on chatting afTably
for half an hour or more. alone in the
room with a score of his bitter enemies.
They were racked with fear and sus-

suspected that he did. and wondered
whether it would not be better TO end

BY GUY CHALMERS.

GONE years ago the president Of the
y Republic of Nicaragua was sit
ting. with his cabinet officers, in
his council room in the city Of Mana
qua. They were waiting to greet their
victorious general, Zelaya, who had just
entered the city at the head Of his army
after quening a dangerous revolution.
The general entered-a fine, stalwart,
soldierly man, with cold. gray eyes and
a steely glance. At his heels there fol-
lowed a mob of his officers. clad. like
most LATINA mericsn warriors, in a
queer medley of rags and gold lace. As
they tried 10 push into the room after
him, he gave them one angry glance
and they tumbled down stairs in
greater hurry than if he had shouted
a dozen oaths at them
The president began to thank him in
the fulsome language 50 dear to Span
ish-Amerlcans. The generals illus
trlous patriotism and magnificent hero
ism, he declared, had saved the repub-
lie.
The general silenced him by a wave
ped, on the table sharply with the butt
The faces Of the cabinet officers turned
pale; dead silence reigned in the room.
The revolution Is dead" announced
the general. after playing silently with
his frightened audience for a full min
ute. as cat plays with a mouse
Long live the revoludoni I am now
the revolution. Do you think won the
revolution for you? No, senOrs. My
army holds the town and the country
The soldiers are devoted to me. It is
useless for you to protest or resist.
To-day you must all leave the city,
under escort, for the coast, and you VIII
depart for the United States or Europe
by the first steamer. If you refuse YOU
viii be shot"
They left. There was something in
the generals glance which stopped even
