Washington. Dec. 2.-Diplomatic re-
latiuns between the United States and
Nicaragua were severed by this gov
eminent. The charge daffaires Of Mic
aragua was handed his passports. This
action does not mean the initiation Of
hostilities. but Is the usual preliminary

ed, however. by a suggestion to the
representative of Nicaragua that he
might remain In Washington, where
he would be received unofiicially by
the state department.
Incidentally the insurgent govern
ment was recognized virtually.
The radical action of the United
States was the direct outcome of the
execution of the American citizens
Leroy Cannon and Leonard Groce. by
order of President Zelaya. OF Nicara-
qua. In severing relations with Ze-
layas government, Secretary of State
Knox took the first step toward pun
ishing Zelaya for the Cannon and
Groce execution and repeated viola
lions of the conventions of the Gen.
trail American peace conference which
was fostered by the United States and
Mexico.
Mr.. Knox's action took the form of
a diplomatic note to Senior Felipe Rod
riguez. Nicaraguas charge d'affaires.
II was sent after long conference
between President Taft and Mr.. Knox.
In that communication Mr. Knox ar
raigned the administration OF Presi-
den: Zelaya. and limited that the per.
sons responsible for the maltreatment
OF the two Americans before their ex.
ecution would be held personally re.
sponsible for their actions.
Mr. Knox broke off all further di'
plomatic communication with Nicara
qua by forwarding passports to Senior
Rodriguez This action of the state de-
partment caused no surprise in diplo-
matte circles. II has been understood
generally that such action would be
taken when the department completed
its investigation into the deaths of the
two men.

Mr.. Vastiue is unable to perform the

The county commissioners took up
the matter of painting the corridor of

decorators hands. 1t was decided to
await the arrival OF q. Day Rudy, the
contractor, and zee what the cost Of
the improvement would be. If the
work does not add too much to the ex-
pense the painting will be ordered
done.
Meanwhile the county commission
ers will have the upper panel removed
from the door at the western end of
the corridor aud plate glass inserted
This will admit much more light and,
along with coat OF paint on the
walls, would make the corridor now
prison-like and gloomy, as cheerful
and attractive as any other part Of the
building.

DARK PLOT
SUGGESTED

The police department. is confronted
with dark mystery. Evidently a
foul plot was Matched to destroy the
borough bastile. which fortunately,
failed.
One Of the borough employees few
days ago detected gallon can of gas
olene snugly hidden away under the
lookup. The vessel, common coal
oil can. was full and the spout was
corked shut to prevent evaporation.
There is no conclusive evidence that
the gasolene was placed under the
floor for the purpose of destroying the
building. At the same time the police
can not bring themselves to believe
that 1t was secreted there for any good
purpose.
The view is taken that no persons
who wished to destroy the building
would want to be seen near the spot
with gasolene oil the night of the fire.
It would be policy to have the infiam
mable stuff seGreted on the spot ready
for use when wanted.
1t is not improbable that the would.
be inoendiary on reaching the spot,
with the gasolene, discovered that the
bastile was occupied and decided to
secrete the fluid and delay the fire un.
til the building should be empty.
Again. the thought suggests itself thai
there may have been still more di.
abolical plot aud that the fire was de-
layed for the purpose of causing a
holocaust
! IL none of the above theories are
correct the police during the next few
days expect to hear an explanation OF
how the gssolene came to be secreted
under the building.
