Brussels, Dec. 17.-Scarcely had the
body of Leopold been arrayed in a gen.
erals uniform to lie in state, before a
bitter war between Baroness Vaughan,
the kings wife, and his disowned
daughter, Princess Louise Of Saxe-Co-
burg, broke out today. Under the di-
rection of Princess Louise, an attorney
closed the villa at Lacken, where the
Baroness was staying, against the pro-
tests of Baroness Vaughan. The vii
la was legally sealed and the occupants
were forced to vacate. In spite Of
the Pope's declaration that Baroness
Vaughan's marriage was valid, the
Princess Louise by this move announc-
ed an outbreak of a bitter family war,
in an attempt to drive the Baroness
from Belgium into seclusion.

Brussels is officially in mourning
for King Leopold II, who died at 2:3S5

The cabinet prepared to carry out
the steps arranged before hand against
the kings death. Leopold himself

Leopold was obdurate to the last to.

magnificent fight for life and for a
time appeared to be recuperating from
the effects of the operation. Almost

Thiriard, Depage and Stainen promised

ZELAYA HAS RESIGNED,

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec 17.-Jose
Santos Zelaya has resigned the presi-
dency of Nicaragua.
He placed his resignation in the
hands OF congress yesterday
Apparently there was no other
course for him to take. The people
are aroused. The guns of the revolu-
tionists threatened. Warships of the
United States lie in Nicaraguan ports
Managua has been seething for days.
The spirit of revolt has spread even to
the gates of the palace Zelaya. sur
rounded himself with an armed guard
Unchecked the porulace has march
ed through the streets, crying for the
end of the old, proclaiming the new
regime.
Who will take up the reins no one
knows nor cares. 1t is sufficient that
Zelaya as dictator will be known no
more. There is no doubt that con-
gress will act quickly on his resigna-
ton. for the people have demanded it.
DR.. Jose Madriz, Judge of the Central
American Court of Justice, at Cartago.
who has been close to Zelaya and is his
choice for president. is on his way here.
He will arrive Saturday.
Estrada's Word Bears Weight.
Madriz has his following. strong and
influential, even among the revolution
lists. but Gen. Estrada, under whose
command the great body Of fighting
insurgents now face Vasquez's troops
at Rama, will have none of him. Es-
trada's word will bear weight in the
choice of president.
Zelaya has known. too that Madriz
is not acceptable to the United States
and he has sought to learn who would
be looked upon with favor by that gov
eminent as his successor. but the
American government. so far as can
be learned, has named no man and the
choice probably will lie with those who
have gained the upper hand.
Accompanying his resignation Zela
va sent the following message to con
gress:
