Prove True.

Washington. Nov. 22.-The first
American warship to arrive in Mic
araguan waters was the gunboat
vicksburg. Her presence at Corinto.
on the Pacific side of Nicaragua, was
announced to the navy department late
yesterday. The gunboat is In COM
mand Of Commander Alexander s.
Hslstas. she is equipped with six 4
and is said to be in condition to give
q good account OF herself in any
emergency that may arrive.
The strain now almost to the break
ing point. II remains only for the next
few days to show whether the relations
between the United States are to be
broken off.
This government has not accepted as
facts beyond all contradiction the ex-
PLANTATION OF Nicaragua touching the
execution of Grace and Cannon In that
country.
Sufficient credence is given to the
statements that have been made to the
department of state to prompt inquir-
les into the reasons that moved Pres.
ldent Zeiaya to order the two Ameri-
cans put to death.
Secretary Of State Knox himself Is
authority for the statement that a de-
mand for reparation will be made upon
Nicaragua should these Inquiries de-
velope that the allegations touching
the death Of the Americans are well
grounded
Late last night the secretary declar-
ed himself and the proceedings in
Nicaraguan affairs today will doubtless
be along the line of a prosecution Of
the inquiries to ascertain the truth as
10 Grace and Cannon. Secretary Knox
Is acting with the full approval OF the
president.
