WASHINGTON Dec. 2s-General' Es- |
tiada. revolutionary leader, will not accept !
the extraordinary terms proposed by the
new president, Madriz a basis for
peace.
A telegram from Bluefileds received late
last night states that on the 22d inst,
Madrlz had proposed. in a telegram to Es-
1trlda, a suspension of hostllities, pending
the arrival of a committee which he was
sending to Estrada to discuss an amicable
and equitable settlement Of the present
strife. Madriz begged the revolutionary
leader not to obstruct his efforts for peace
General Estrada in his reply expressed
his willingness TO meet the Madriz com
missioners, but said the revolutionary
party would not recognize the action of
the executive assembly in placing power IN
the hands Of Madriz.
He denied most emphatically the assem-
bly's right to deal with the election of
president and stated that he saw in Madrlz
the usurper Of the rights of the Nicarag-
uan people
The terms upon which Madriz is willing
to make peace. 1t is believed, are shown In
a letter which purports to have been
signed by him and addressed to friend.
In It he expressed his desire for peace
without further bloodshed and stated that
whatever might happen compatible with
his dignity and with the public interests,
he was willing to accept.
Wants Government Recognized.
He says further that the revolutonsts
should recognize his government and that
after such recognition both armies should
be dlsbanded all arms and ammunition
being turned over to him. He states that
he would recognize the debts and contracts
OF the revolutionists and that within six
months I've would look for the holding of
an election. he guaranteeing free voting.
He adds that I've would turn over such
power as he had tmpartially to the person
elected president and that he would accept
any other proper conditions.
1t Is not doubted here that Estrada's well
known astuteness will prevent him from
accepting terms OF peace, predicated upon
the prior surrender by him of his army,
arms and ammunition to his enemy.
A telegram from Managua received at
the State department says that the Madriz
party is making preparations to send rep
resentatives to the eastward to meet ze-
laya's army. These kilograms confirm the
published report that Madriz had ordered
the arrest of Pasos the son-in-lNw of the
former president, on the ground that he
had swinded the government out of money,
evading arrest
The minister of finance, Santos, has been
nut In prison charged with sending unau-
thoriztd kilograms and otherwise interfer-
ing with governmental matters with which
he has no concern.
