Attitude of United States Toward

Nicaragua Still Same.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Secretary
of State Knox let it be known today
that the attitude of this government
towards Nicaragua would not be
hanged by the election of Madriz t"
the presidency as the successor OF
Zelaya, resigned.
Madriz will have to show that he Is
capable of directing a responsible
government which is proposed to make
PREPARATION for the wrongs which it is
claimed have been adone to American
citizens in the little Central AmeTi-

1t was announced at the state de-
partment that the attitude of tn"
United States toward Madriz would be
lust as it was outlined in the note that
Secretary Knox directed to Mir. ROD
riguez, then Nicaraguan charge in this
city, severing diplomatic relations
with Nicaragua.
This country still maintains that I'M
til a responsible government is set
up and is in entire control Of the stu

be held. diplomatic relations cannot
be resumed.

REPORT is VERY ABSURD.
Gamboa Denies Mexico Favors Friend
of Zeiaya as President.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20.-"TOO alb
surd to be dignified by serious dis
cussion,' said Sub Secretary of for
eign relations Gumboa tonight, when
asked for an expression regarding a
report from Bluefields, which was
sent out from Washington that rep
resentative of the Mexican government
in Washington was involved in a plot
to place a friend Of Zelaya at the head
of the Nicaraguan government.
Assuming that the representative in
Washington referred to in the Blue
fields report was Governor Enrique
Creel, Mr.. Gamboa said:
1.-The report is SO palpably false and
absurd that it is useless even to dis
cuss it. The Mexican government has
the utmost confidence in it's official
representatives and 1 know that Meth
er Mr.. Creel nor any other official
connected with this government is in
vOlved in any such scheme

mony and cooperation. He pledged
that he would uphold the rights of
citizens. granting free elections and
establishing a policy of equal oppor-
turnities for all
Congress first accepted the resigna-
ton of Dr. Madriz as judge of the
Central American court and Panyagua
Prado was appointed to succeed him.
The committee that has the resigna-
ton of Zelaya in hand then recommend
ed it's acceptance and the formulation
of an address of thanks to Zelaya for
his services to Nicaragua.
Nomination Causes Enthusiasm.
The adoption of this report was fol-
lowed by the election of the new pres
ident, the nomination of DR.. Madrlz
being greeted with much enthusiasm.
The strength of his following in the
house was attested by the fact that
on the call for standing vote every
member rose in the affirmative. The
election Of DIR. Madriz as chief execu-
tive has been expected, for infiuen-
tial delegates strong in his favor nave
been pouring into Managua from
Leon, the stronghold of the liberals,
Chinandenga and Granada and they
came with the avowed purpose or
carrying the candidacy of their man
to victory.
Zelaya still exercises strong
power here and while it has beer
brought to his notice that Nadriz is
not looked upon with favor by the
government Of the United States, he
still urges Madriz to the front as his
successor in office.
On the arrival here the president
elect said that he had been in confer
ence with ex- President Cardenas, lead
er of the conservatives, now in Costa
Rica where he heads strong fierce
which are reported to be ready to
march upon Managua.
1T is known to both Zelaya ana
Madriz that Estrada, leader of the
revolutionists, who are ready to do
battle with the government forces at
Rama, is strongly opposed to the new
president, for it is well understood
that Estrada himself has ambitions to
fill the presidential chair.
The hope is cherished, however, that
DR.. Madriz in his new executive capac-
ity, will be able to smooth out many
of the rough places and bring about
such amicable condition among the
people themselves that he will not be
compelled to withdraw from office.
What Zelaya and his supporters
most feared was a rising in the depart
ments around Managua, for in the last
two weeks the widespread denuncia-
tons of the presicent and his admin
istratiOn We're verging on revolution.
The morning sitting Of congress was
given over TO discussions and angry
exchanges between deputies. A mo-
ton that congress sit in permanent
session was vigorously opposed and
was characterized by denominations
on all sides. The motion eventually
was defeated.
Dr. Jose MadriZ, newly elected
president of Nicaragua, was formerly
minister of foreign affairs. He is a
comparatively young man, a lawyer
and an author. He represented Mic
aragua at the Central American court
of justice at Carriage and was chair
man of the Nicaraguan de- egatiOn of
the Central American peace confer
ence held in Washington in 1907 be-
ing elected secretary of the confer

FIRE ALARM DISASTROUS
TO FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Two fire alarms were sent in last
night and the latter proved little less
than a disaster to the department it.
self, although there was no cause for
an alarm in either case. The first
came at eight, a fake SEN in from the
Eastern Dining Hall, a Chinese res
tauraDt across from the Grand Cen
trail Hotel. The second at eleven o.
clock, was sent in in good faith by a
man named Thompson, living IN S.
kentucky n He saw an out-bail-
ding at the rear of the Gaullieur block
on fire as he passed On FIRST street
and when be got home ent in the al
arm. Meanwhile Officer lobe Stewart
had put it out, the fire having start
ed from burning grass.
At the time of the second alarm the
team was hitched to the hose wagon
and some careless, excited man op-
the front doors before a driver
could mount the seat. The opening
of the doors is the signal to the horses
to run, and when the outsider opened
them, the team ran without a driver
to Pecos street and then north tt the
court house block. At the southeast
# of the court house block, the
tg0n collided with the high, cement
sidewalk, %springing an axle and break
ing a front spring, the tongue, a sin
gle-tree and the double tree. One
horse was skinned up to some extent.
The fire boys are looking for the man
who opened the doors.
