LEADERS IN CONFERENCE
Vasquez Surprises Insurgents by
Suggesting They Yield.
TOLD TO Do so HIMSELF
President of Nicaragua May Step
Down in Three Weeks-Corea

BLTEFIELDS, Nicaragua. December
1O.-Gen. Estrada was dunlfounded to
day when he learned that the object or
the conference Of Ielayan envoys with
Gen. Fornos Diaz. representing the in
surgent leader, was to demand the sur
| render of the insurgent army.
Gen Vasquez, in command of a divi-
sion Of the government troops near
Rama, Wednesday proposed a confer
ence to Gen. Estrada. The latter. be-
lieving Vasquez sought opportunity for
an advantageous surrender, sent Gen.
Diaz to meet him.
The government ENJOYS proved to he

dent
Diaz Retorts Demand
When Diaz heard the demand for the
surrender of the insurgents, he imme-
diately declared that Vasquez was the
one who should surrender. declaring the
insurgent position at Rama was impreg-
| nable and the United States was sup
porting Gen. Estrada.
| The conference continues today.
| The arrival Of the United States cruiser
| Des Moines has created the greatest en-
thusiasm and drawn the whole town to
the water front. The cruisers band
played the Star Spangled Banner
Commander John H. Shipley Of the
| Des Moines conferred today with Thomas
p. Moffat the United States consul at
| Bluefelds, regarding the future course TO

Insurgents Position Impregnabls.
| Should there be battle at Rama be-
tween the forces of Gen. Estrada and OF
President Zelaya, under command of Gen.
oseja, Estrada's position at Rama is
thought to be impregnable.
| He has sent detachments into the noun
| tains west of Rama which have repeated
/ ly met the government troops in small
skirmishes. Always the PROFESSIONALS
/ treated toward Rama, laying waste the
country as they retired, and leaving Oseja
nothing with which to feed his men.
1t was not Estrada's policy to contest
the roads to Rama. but to bring on a gen.
eral engagement at that point With
Managua $50 miles away and the coun-
try between a waste, he calculated that
Oseja would be compelled to risk an at
tack or to starve.-
Oseja's Forces Starving.
His plans seemed to work we'll. Oseja's
forces, half starved. footsore and sick
from the terrible tramp over the noun

call. the trip by the Rama river

| Whether Oseja has been strengthened
by men from Managua is not known def
nitely. Spies have brought word to the
opposing army that Zelaya is afraid to
risk more men, fearing that they will
desert to Estrada.
| He has soldiers and equipment in
abundance at Managua, but it is said
that he does not trust his generals.
Oseja, it is said. is an exception. His

Corea Is Taking No Part
in Nicaraguan Disputes

Incident to the presence in this capi-
tai OF two factions representing the con-
fiicting parties in Nicaragua, effort has
been made to connect the name OF Senior
Luis Corea with one side or the other.
Mr.. Corea was minister from Nicara-
qua to Washington until recently and
naturally feels deep interest In the af
fairs Of his country. But he desires it
to be known that he has never given any
interviews or opinions regarding the trou-
BILE In Nicaragua the attitude OF the
State Department, either officially or pri-
vately.
He also declares that he has no Gre
dentials from President Zelaya to repre-

Rumors Of Zelaya Retirement.
Evidence is multiplying that Zelaya in
tends to retire from the presidency of
Nicaragua. Reports to that effect are

Two delegations of District people ap-

East Washington Man Wanted.
Evan II. Tucker, president of the East
Washington Citizens Association, and
W. J. Frizzelb a member of the same
association, composed one delegation.
President Tucker said that the executive
committee of his association had directed
that a call be made upon the President In
the interests of an East Washington
man for Commissioner.
The eastern part of the District COM
prises one-half of the area of the District

said. 1t has never been represented by

something about all parts of the District

Justice Harlan's Argument.

Mr.. Boutell then called upon Justice

the bill in type only few minutes pre-
Viously, he had long been aware of the
substance of what it was intended to ac-
complish.

ana distinguished career than to frame
this bill
Justice Harlan said he did not sunnose

He appeared, he said, al tho renues.

side him, industriously taking down his
remarks.

the committee, Representative Scott of

There was an audible smile as chair

Boutell Explains Bill.

Representative Bouten opened the
purposes OF his measure. He called at
sfeution TO the fact that forty-nine states
An0 territories now share in the benefits
n the Morrill, and supplementary acts
and that there seemed to be no valid
Oo1ecdons whatever to favorable consid-
Grafton OF his amendment by Congress.
He then introduced Commissioner Mac
farland. who said he appeared not only
as Commissioner OF the District of Co
lumbia, but as chairman of the citizens
committee which is advocating the pass
age Of the Bouteu measure
Macfarland Pleads for Amendment.
Mr.. mcfarland spoke of the enactment
OF the proposed legislation as a simple
act of Justice and asked why it was
that the District of Columbia, with $40
600 population, had been excluded from
the benefits of the Morrill, law
They have contributed their full share
through the tariff and internal revenue
taxes to the federal Treasury. besides
maintaining the National Capital until
1878 and paying half of its expenses since
that time. They have done their full duty
to the nation in time of war and in time
OF peace.
Jney should certainly have what has
been given to Porto Rico and Hawaii. to
say nothing of the states and territories
OF the Union. The press, the civic organ
lzations and the people of the District are
all desirous to this bill pass at the
earliest possible moment
