again and said: Sweetheart, 1 do love
you. Those were the last words he

the NIcARAGUAnS
CHARGED WITH ATTACK
Claim is Set Forth That Gum
boat Momotombo w a Stolen
From Nicaragua When
Attack Was Made.

Washington, June l7-Arbitration
by President Roosevelt and President
Dinz is seemingly the only thing
which can avert a general war in
Central America. Salvador has made
public official information that the
attack on Acajutla, Salvador. last
week was organized at the Nicarr-
guam capitol.
The only answer from Nicaragua
to this charge is that made by Senor
Cameza, special envoy now in Mexi
co in the interest of union of all
Central American republics. He
declares that the Nicaraguan gunboat
Momotombo, from which the attack
was made, was stolen from Nicaragua.
If that is 80 the attack falls under
the definition Of piracy and the
craft is Legitimate prey for the war
ships of any power.
But the most evidence is found
in support Of the belief that the at.
tack was organized by Nicaragua.
