NIANAGUA, Dec. 26.-The new pres
wi ident of Nicaragua, Jose Madriz
A-A is taking hold of affairs with a
strong hand.
Zelaya left him the legacy of an
empty treasury and soon after Presi-
dent Madriz had publicly announced,
in effect, that the country was practi-
cally on the verge of bankruptcy, the
arrest of Joaquin Passos, Zelaya' s
son-in-law, and Ernesto Martinez, Ze-
laya's last finance minister, was or
dered.
They are now in the hands Of the
authorities, charged with misapplica-
tion of funds, failure to register gov
ernment bonds. and the circulation OF
unsigned paper money.
Francisco Baca who has replaced DR..
Julian Irias as minister general, is pre-
pairing a decree establishing a COM
mission to revoke franchises under
which a score of monopolies given to
individuals by Zelaya have been
operated.
These monopolies poured into Ze-
laya's purse vast sums of money. While
they were often in the names of others,
IL was to the former president that
the greater portion of the returns was
transferred.
Passos is looked on as the creator of
these monopolies and the dummy util-
lied by Zelaya to cover his large stock
interests therein His arrest has been
enthusiastically received.
Santos Ramirez Zelaya's chief of
telegraph. also has been arrested. He
is charged with having sent a tele-
gram i'm the name Of President Madriz

STATE DEPARTMENT SILENT
AS TO NlcARAGUAN CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Complete
silence has fallen over the Nicaragua
situation. No advices were given out
by the state department today, and
diplomats of Central American repub-
lies received no news.
1t is generally recognized that the
United States government is awaiting
developments. The vigorous action of
the state department, which disclosed
to the world that this government had
grown tired of Zelaya's tactics, has
borne fruit, and the chief actor is a
fugitive on the Mexican gunboat Gen
eral Guerrero, bound for Salina Cruz.
Unofficial reports are that the former
president was landed there yesterday

case with this class of whisky, they
may add this fact.
THE public will be made to know

whisky they can get II by purchasing
what is branded straight whisky
If they are willing to drink whisky
made of neutral spirits. then they can
buy it under a brand showing It; and
If they are contented with a blend of
flavor made by the mixture of straight
whisky and whisky made of neutral
spirits, the brand of the blend upon
the package will enable them to buy

This was the intent Of the act. It

IF those who manufacture whisky
made Of neutral spirits and wish TO
call it whisky without explanatory
phrase complain because the neutral
spirits on the label takes away some
of their trade. they are without just
ground, because they lose their trade

"The purpose Of the pure food law

sions reached by the royal commission

former Attorney General Bonaparte,
Solicitor General Bowers and DR.

Mr.. Bowers extended the use of the
word to liquors made of "rectifed" and

President Taft goes a step further
and includes blends and whisky made
from neutral spirits" Celebrating
his conclusions, the president says:
after an examination Of all the
evidence, il seems to me oVerwhelm-
ingly established that, for a hundred
years, the term Of whisky in the trade
and among the customers has included
all potable liquors distilled from grain;
that the straight whisky is, as COM
pared with the whisky made by raeti-
fcation or re-distillation and flavoring
and coloring matter, a subsequent i'm
provement, and that therefore, it is a
perversion of the pure food law act to
attempt now to limit the meaning Of
the term whisky to that which mod
ern manufacture and taste have made
the most desirable variety"
