Ambitious President.

Setting aside the mule that the Mic
araguans are alleged to have stolen in
the frontier town Of Las ManOs one
night. the cause of the conflict appar-
emily is found in the ambitions of Pres
ident Zelaya of Nicaragua to see as
chief executive of Honduras a man who
would favOrably consider the claims of
Nicaragua in The matter Of delimitdt-
ing the boundary between the two
countries. A possible underlying mo-
tive is President Zeldya'S faT-Teaching
ambitions. He is credited with a de
side to bring about a federation of the
states Of Central America and Hon
dUras stood in his way On the other
hand il is asserted lin some quarters
that President BOnilla brought about
the trouble for the purpose of avoiding
disaster at the hands of the revolution
airy party, which was daily growing
stronger in Honduras.
y feature of the conflict has been that
each country has disaVOwed RESPONSE

of a few hours. The capital is a bare
