rived at Bluehelds Although she IS
engaged ostensibly in surveying work,
she Will remain in the vicinity Of

BODIES BURNED
BY zELAYA
Executed Americans Cut to
Pieces by His Order, Says
Report
REBELS SAID TO HAVE
ADVANTAGE In FIGHTING

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BLUEFIELDSf Nicaragua via Wire
less TO Colon, Dec. at was reliably
reported here to-day by persons arriv-
ing from President Zelaya's strong
holds In the west Of Nicaragua, that
the bodies of Cannon and Groce, the
executed Americans, were cut to pieces
and burned by the order of ZeIaya.
To-day's messages do not bear out
the report that the revolutionists were
defeated II the second day Of the bat
tie near Rama, So far there has been
no decided advantage in the fighting.
but the condition Of the revolutionists
is said TO be better than the zelaya
forces.
General Estranda continues to harass
Zelaya's army and the road that is
now open TO the latter is toward Rama,
where the revolutionists have an over
whelming force and stand ready to
wipe out the government should they
retreat this far.
AS result Of long exposure and a
scarcity Of food, zelaya's troops to the
west Of Rama arc said to be in a pitt
able condition physically.
The agents Of the Provisional Presl-
dent Estrada are daily shipping arms
and ammunition TO the revolutIonists
and within few days It is hoped to
have a force ready to make a con-
certed attack from all sides on the
main body OF zelaya's army
Zelaya's offer 10 resign the presl-
dency Immediately Is considered alb
surd here, as Congress alone is EN-
powered TO accept his resignation.
Disapproval OF Zelaya is steadily
growing and has now reached such a
state that part Wines have been oblit-
Grated by the recognition of the COM
mon need for a sweeping change In
Nicaragua's administration. The lead
ers Of both parties are arrayed against
zelaya and his continuance as the
chief executive is considered impos-
sible, even should the war terminate in
his favor

TULIPS, NOT ONIONS,
FOR COURT HOUSE LAWN

In connection with tho planting Of tulip
bulbs in the enclosures in the county
Court House lawn an amusing instance
occurred to-day.
Montgomery and French had three men
working In the flower beds and had the
tulip bulbs arranged so that when the
flowers bloom they will be in rows OF red
yellow and white. A Brandywine hun
dred farmer who had been delivering po-
tatoes in Wilmington stopped his team at
Tenth and Market streets and after view
ing the work OF the landscape artists re-
marked TO a well-known lawyer: Say,
what IN tarnation does Sam Dennison
mean by planting onions in the Court
House lawn"
When informed that the bulbs were tu-
lips the farmer spoke to his horses and
left the corner muttering: There are too
many posies everywhere now-a-days.'
