 CITIZENS ARE TREATED.
Practically Sides With the Insurgents and Win Send a Warship to Mi caragua to Protect Her h.
 terests.

Washington, Nov 1S.-Announce-
 ment that this government is tired of
 the hgih handed actions of the small
 cally was contained in a dispatch sent Central Americans republics, practi-
 late today to the Bluehelds Steamship Company which sought the protection
 of the state department from inter ! ference by the insurgents now operat- l ing against President Zelaya. l An hour later a peremptory note, couched in diplomatic language, but none the less direct. was delivered
 to Senor Felipe Roddiguez, charge 'affaires Of the Nicaraguan legation
 demanding full and complete expla- nation of the execution of the two Americans, Leonard Grace and Le- roy Cannon, who were executed by or der of Zelaya when they were found l in the insurgent army.
 Pending satisfactory explanation of the occurrence. President Taft has refused to recognize Isadore Hazere, | the new Nicaragltan minister. Mir. Taft Is thorouphly arou~eA by the ac- tions of the Zelaysn government and apparently is determined to make the l lives Inf the United States citizens much safer and considerably more re- srected in Central America than they have been hitherto.
 The attitude of the government was clearly shown late today when the state department sent a dispatch to the Blue6elds Steamship Company, the headquarters of which is in New Orleans. The company's regular steamer was about to set sail for Bluefields, Nicaragua, with a miscel- laneous cargo, in which were "a num- Der of rifles and other munitions of war The corporation was warned by agents of the Nicaraguan insurrec- Itionary forces that the vessel wouli be liable to seizure and the steamship company promptly cailed in the state department to declare dhe protection tlis government would give in such case.
 The state department promptly re piled. The answer was the result Df conference between the president and the secretary of state and it re ceived full weight. It gave the steam. ship concIn no encouragement prec- Ideally recognized the revolutionary forces operating against the Zelayan administration, a proceeding for which there is probably no parallel in the records of this government.
 The dispatch directed to the steam. ship company at New Orleans and signed,. Knox, secretary of state,' read
 If the announced blockade or in- ttacf,,ae,,f k,p fhx NTina ,,D,.t ,P San Juan Del Norte (Greytowm) is effectively mainhainedand the require ments of international law, including warming to approaching vessels, are observed, this government would not be disposed to interfere to prevent it's enforcement. A naval vessel will be ordered to Greytown 10 observe and report whether the blockade is effective"
 Nicaragua has been one of the Cen. tral American republics that has giv. on this government more trouble in the last few years than any other save Venezuela, under the sway Of President Castro. The attitude of the United States. as shown hy It's recognition of the Nicaraguan insur- gents, indicates to diplomats here that this government would welcome the overthrow of the present administra tion there
 It is well known that President Ze- laya's attitude towards Americans and American interests for some time has heen anything but satisfactory,
 The state department today main. tained qniet reserve that was de. scribed by one diplomat as "ominous."
 It wes learned. however. that both President Taft and Secretary Knox practically have determined on the exertion of some forceful moral sua. sion, if nothing more, with view of bringing the Central American states .fo a realization of their responsiblli- ties. Aside from the acknowledge ment that demand has been made on the Nicaraguan legation for de- tailed and comparative report Df the killing of the two Americans. the de. rartment decline dto discuss the ex. isting crisis
