BLUEFIELDS. Nicaragua. November q
-(By wireless to Colon).-It is officially
stated that President Zelaya Is willing to
resign his office and to leave the selection
of his successor to the congress. The
proposition is absurd, for the reason that
the congress in reality does not exist.
The deputies. with the exception of those
appointed by Zelaya, are either In the
penitentiary or fugitives from the coun-
try. His partisans would naturally select
as his successor Senior Irias or some other
Zelaya satellite. who would continue the
oppression which caused the revolution.
Zelaya's willingness to resign and his
proposal that a congress. dominated by
fear. select his successor, 1t Is believed
here, would furnish poor satisfaction to
the United States for the murder of its
citizens. The whole thing is regarded as
merely another instance of Central Amer
lean diplomacy.

The United States cruiser Des Moines
has not been at Bluef1elds, but Is report

ammunition were landed here last night

NEW ORLEANS. November 27.--With
the sailing tonight of the steamship
Marietta for Bluefieids the report was
put In circulation that the vessel had out
witted the customs officials and had got
away with well equipped filibustering
The manifest of the vessel indicated that
the BluefieldS Steamship Company, under
which the Marietta operates. had shipped
to Bluefields two thousand packages OF
merchandi e. There was nothing else TO
establish the character of the cargo
1t Is known that cargo of arms and
ammunition had been assembled here
awaiting the arrival of the steamer Ut
stein, which yesterday succeeded in land
ing her initial cargo of war material for
the insurgents 1t is the belief here that
Consul General Sussmann, representing
the Estrada government. decided not to
delay sending fresh supplies. and that he
shipped ON the Marietta the material in
tended for the Ctstein.
Tho congress of Nicaragua does not
exist today, according to message
received here last night from Gen. Es-
trada, leader of the revolutionists. by
Senor Castrillo, representative at this
capital of the revolutionist party. The
message says that all the members of
the congress are in the penitentiary OF
are fleeing.
A rumor gained currency in Washing
ton late last night that American blue
Jackets from the cruiser Des Moines had
been landed at Greytown. Nicaragua,
yesterday. The report could not be con-
firmed. Naval officials here last night
disclaimed knowledge of the reported
landing, and declared that II such were
the case the Navy Department would
promptly have been notified. Rear Ad-
miral Potter. chief Of the bureau of navi-
cation, said that the Des Moines is not
now at Greytown, and that. SO far as the
department knew. the vessel was at Port
Limon, Costa Rica.
ZELAYA SAID TO HAVE FLED.
