DEATH oE AMERICANS.
Details of Execution of Groce and cs

Details OK Exeeuttom vI Gr0ce unu N@n- non.
 Managua. Dec. 2s.-Recent reports that the Anne ericans. Groce and Cannon. were tortured before being shot are untrue.
 The facts were in the possession, of the State Department at Washington month ago and it was generally supp posed that any detaiis<of the tragedy had been given publicity through off, cial channels. As it is. advantage has been taken Of Inc opportunity in some instances to paint picture that was more interesting than truthful. The glory of Captain Anibal Chaves. who refused to obey an order to com mand the firing squad. Is dimmed some what by the light of known circum- stances.
 had implored Zelaya to abandon his purpose of shooting the Americans. Zelaya, however. could not be infiu- enced and General Toledo finally or dered Captain Chaves not to assume command of the squad. Chaves chose to obey Toledo rather than the Pres ident and as consequence was ar rested and held in jail six weeks. Upon his release Chaves made the most or the episode.
 It is also declared untrue that meeting of peace commissioners ap-' pointed by Madriz and Estrada has been arranged for Saturday.
 Groce and Cannon were notified of the death sentence imposed upon them at sf0:30 o'clock on the night Of No vember l5. They were executed at 10 o'clock the following morning. As they were marched, out of the fortress drlzzle of rain fell. On the way to the scene of execution they passed the open graves that had been prepared for them At one time Groce stepped out of line of march and pleaded with Gen. eral Medina:
 Do not shoot me: I am a brother Ma son. he said. Cannon quickly seized his compamion and pulling him back into line said:
 Brace up. old man. We have no chance under Zelayas orders" Standing in the center of the square formed by 100 soldiers, the two men heard their sentence read from the four corners together with the usual warn ing in such cases: Any one display ing evidence of sympathy will be shot in a similar fashion"
 The hands of the condemned men were bound and their eyes bllndfolded. Cannon shook his head, attempting to prevent the bandage being placed over his face but his protest was unavail- ing. They were seated on low bench side by side.N The firing squad was made up of twelve soldiers who ad- yanced in three rows within six feet of their victims.
 Captain Saenz was in command and instructed two soldiers at the right to fire upon Grbce and two soldiers at the left to fire upon Cannon. All four bullets were effective. Groce was shot through the heart and death was instantaneous. The bullets in- tended for Cannon tore the breast and abdomen. He survived his wounds few seconds When the body of Groee was buried a blanket hid the features. but the body of Cannon was buried
 without any protecting cover.

Washington, Dec. 29.--Owing to tIe fact that the state department has had much difficulty In obtaining from Vice Consul ,Caldera, at Managua. import ant details of recent happenings in and about the Nicaragnan capital. 1t has been decided by the department to send Consul olivares, now on leave in Washington immediately to Mana qua to take charge of the consulate there.
 Tae department Is inclined to attri- bute Mir. Caldera's short and therefore unsatisfactory teiegrams to the fact that he is over-economical in spending money for cablegrams, the toll on which is 25 cents a word.
 A dispatch was received from Managua today to the effect that 1t was currently reported there that before ile left Managpa. Zelaya. the deposed pres ident. distributed ten thousand rifles among his followers. Military activity at Managua aud on the west coast, it Is said. continues.
 Another telegram states that Madriz has issued an order creating a tribu- nal to investigate the alleged frauds of the ZeIayan administration.
 Commenting today upon the fact that Admiral Kimhall had visited Madriz at ManaRua in full uniform and accom- panied by his aide. Assistant Secretary Wilson said the visit was entirely with out the knowledge of the state depart ment and could not have any signifi- canoe whatever.
 Stories to the effect that this visit might be regarded as a preliminary step to the recognition of Madriz as uresident of Nicaragua are declared to ha entirely without foundation.
