At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the war
ship weighed anchor and pointed out
to sea. "A salute of thirteen guns
Were fired from the shore, and hun
dreds of sailors and citizens waived
the former dictator farewell from
the beach. Zelaya stood alone and
waived back in answer. bSe uncover
els his head when abreast Of the Amer
lean cruiser, but she made no re-
sponse. Then he turned again to
wlaard the shore, gazing until out
of sight.
Shortly before the arrival Of Ze-
laya at Corinto, the United States
guDbC,at. Princeton got up steam and
proceeded for San Juan Del Sur
The rumor spread that the Prince
ton Intended to watch the movement
of the Mexican gunboat, but she pro
ceeded directly down the coast and
her arrival at her destination was
later reported, greatly relieving the
anxiety Of the Zelayan adherents.
Man'agunas in general were greatly
relieved when they learned that Ze-
lava had gone and President Madriz
has already begun his promised work
of reform.
All reports that Madris intends to
resign the presidency are without a
shred of truth. He, himself, annountc-
cd that no accepted the office only
after "a mature consideration of the
opportunity the position gave him to
bring about harmony and peace in
Nicaragua and also of the dangers
which attended his acceptance He

lance off and the hope is held that
before the men reach the capital,
settlement satisfactory to all sides,
might be arranged.
Francisco iBaca, of Leon, the home
town of President Madriz, has been
appointed minister general in place
of Dr. Julian qrias, who resigned.
lrias, who at one time was spoken
of for the presidency, has deemed
1t advisable to withdraw himself
from public notice as he became very
unpopular when the demonstrations
against Zelaya were at their heieft
A dispatch received here today
from Rivas says that a man who
shouted "Vfvi Madriz' was stabbed to
death by three soldiers.
Managua, Dec 25.-Zelaya was en-
tertained at luncheon at Corinto by
the late commandant of the port,
whose guests included the Mexican
minister and the officers of the gen.
eral Guerrero. There we're no toasts
but an informal discussion of the bat
tie of Rama was INDUCED in.
Zelaya expressed the fear that
President Madriz would not be able
to cope with the situation, as he was
not military man. He said that
the army of the government had
been reduced to skeletons by priva-
lions due to the failure of the new
administration to forward rations,
and he was glad that the army had

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the ex-
president was taken off on launch
and put aboard the Mexican warship
without the slightest opposition from
the American ships and no protest of
any kind. Until the general Guer-
