WASHINGTON, .. c., Nov. 2e.-
Strained almost to the breaking point
1t remsins. for only few days ito
show whether the relations between
the United states and Nicaragua viii
be broken of. -. -.
Secretary Of State Knox himself is
authority for the statement that n de-
mand for PREPARATION will be made
upon Nicaragua, should the inquiries
now being made contradict the e:,,la-
nation by Nicaragua touching upon
the execution of Leonard Grace and
Leroy Cannon.
The gunboat, Vicksburg. will prob
ably arrive at corinto today and the
cruiser, Des Moines, at Port Lion
The Marietta too is OH the way to
the Atlantic coast. The transport
Buffalo is coaling at Pihllinique bay,
Calf, under orders for Panama.
The next move is to be ,Inade by
Secretary Knox and undoubtedly it
will be important and possibly de-
cisive. 1t is believd something more
than compensation for the killing Of
Groce and Cannon will be involved,
1t.nprears the state department is
awaiting additional Information as to-
the killing Of Grcce and Cannon.
The state departments action in
recognizing a blockade OF the port of
San Juan Del Norte is in effect rec
ognitfcn OF the insurgency. but this
sction in all probability win be follow
ed by what will be much more impor-
tant, recognition of the belligerency.
Recognition of the belligerency is a
metter of highest consequence to the
insurgent forces
PORTSMOUTH, y. H., Nov. .a2.--,
Rush orders were received here today
in connection with Quitting the gum
boats. Paducah and Dubuque, which
were preparing to return to stations
in the Caribbean sea.
NEWPORT, r. l., Nov. 22.-The
battleship, Missouri, while engaged in
torpedo practice here today. received
orders to proceed to speed for New
York.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. re-
A tense situation existed this morn
ing as the result of the execution of
two Americans, Leroy Cannon andl
Leonard Grace, in Nicaragua by or
der of President Zelays. III
The State Department has adopted
an attitude of reserve and is await
ing with patience some sort of ex.
PLANTATION from the Nicaraguan gov.
eminent. Il is fairly assumed that
the press dispatches received last
night from Managua were accurate;
in the statement that the men. were
executed after court martial trial.
on the chareg that they had attempts
ed by the use of dynamite to blow upl
zelaya's troop transport.
If the department advices couarml
this story the question at issue will
be whether the charge against the
men. assuming 1t to have been prov
ed, justified their execution.
If 1t shown that Cannon and Grace
were engaged in legitimate act of
warfare at the time of their capture,
mo doubt zelaya will be called to &C.
count and ample reparation will be
demanded.
Indications seem clearly to point toI
recognition by the United States gov
ternment of the tbelligerency of the
Irevolution,st government in Nicara-
qua under General Estrada and it is
mot impossible that a public
declaration will be made to that eff
feet in the near future.
The state department has heard
nothing from the Nicaraguan quarter
since yesterday. The warships
despatched to N.caraguan shores
ARE. expected to arrive at their desti-
nation some time today.
DR.. Hazera, Nicaraguan minister
