ISLANDER AGAINST DIPLOMAT
ANONYMOUS LETTERS MAY CAUSE
POSTPONEMENT OF MARRIAGE.
Nicaraguan Minister Planned to Wed Mrs.
Jordan OF Atlanta Nov. I, but He Won't
Garry Ott the Plans Unless She believes
That the Charges Are Untrue.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2s.--An anonymous
letter writer OF peculiarly malignant inten-
ton has written letters which may cause
the breaking Of the engagement, or at least
postpone the wedding, OF the Nicaraguan
Minister, Senior Don Luis F. Corea, and Mrs.
Ilah Dunlap Jordan OF Atlanta, Ga.
Announcement has been made that the
wedding would take place on Nov. ]. Mrs.
Jordan Is a wealthy widow Of high social
standing. Recently she received letters,
presumably from Washington, OF such
shocking nature that Minister Corea has.
taken steps to ascertain, IL possible, the
identity Of the writer
Senior Corea comes from one OF the best
families in Nicaragua and is highly edu-
Gated. He enjoys the friendship OF the
President Of Nicaragua, who recently
requested Senior Calvo. the Minister OF
Costa RIGA in Washington, to attend the
Corea-Jordan nuptials as his representative.
The anonymous letters attacking Senior
Corea have been received by Government
officials and members Of the diplomatic
Corps, who are highly indignant. They
say that the letters were written by women
or a woman. Senior Corea has taken co,in-
sci OF these friends, and they are assisting
him in his epdeavor to discover who IS
responsible for circulating the scandal.
He will not insist upon the fu!flment OF
the engagement between Mrs. Jordan ard
himself unless she becomes thoroughly
satisfied that the accusations against him
are untrue.
Sehor Corea has been Minister Of Nicar-
aqua in Washington since Sept. II, 1889.
He is young and good looking and has been
extremely popular in society. He has
shown marked ability as a diplomat, par
icularly during the period when the Near
aguan Government was endeavoring to
have the United States select the trans
isthmian canal route through that country.
1t was learned late tonight that the we'd
ding has been postponed.

BILL
ABOUT SETTLERS
PROVIDES FOR LEAVE OF AB-
sENcE FOR CERTAIN CITIZENS
UNTIL MAY, 1906.
Proper Committee-CommIttee On
Judiciary Recommends Indefinite
Postponement Of Proposed Free
Trade Measure.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 9.-Repre-
sentative Mondell to-day introduced a
bill! proposing to give entrymen under
the proposedShoshone irrigation inter-
prise in Big Horn county, Wyoming,
leave of absence from their entries un-
til May /, 1906, upon showing that wa
ter is not yet available for irrigation of
their lands.
In explanation of his bill Representa-
tive Mondell says that lands in the
Shoshone region cannot be cultivated
without irrigation and it is impracti-
cable for settlers to reside upon the
lands in their present state. He thinks
it advisable to pass a general law Civ
ing settlers the right to one years
leave. as it would tend to encourage
speculative entries, but in certain
cases he thinks it but fair to extend to
settlers under irrigation projects the
same privilege of leave of absence that
is allowed settlers under the home
stead act.
Similar conditions exist under the
Minidoka project, Idaho, and if Mon
dell's bill meets with success efforts
will be made to include that project in
its provisions.

At the opening of court Mrs. Chad
wick gave notice that she desired to

ing to warrant the suspicion.
Mrs. Chadwick's lawyers visited her

return to Cleveland. They said they
would withdraw from the case if she
did. The prisoner then said she would
make her final decision this afternoon.
There is little doubt that the insanity
question will be brought into the ase
or later. The prisoner spent a
sleepless night. She got no sleep I'M
til 4 a. m, when tired nature asserted
itself. Efforts to secure bail for her
so far are u%navailing.
Emil Chadwick is as anxious as ever
