OUSTED BY MADRIZ.
Nicaraguan Consul Here, Hoe
eUer, to Disregard Order.

Pio Boanos, Nicsraguan Consul in this
city. received a cable dispatch yesterday
from Francisco Baca, the minister general
OF President Madriz informing him that
his official tenure was at an end. But
Senior Bolafios. although on advocte for
peace in Nicaragua. is a fighter, and Re
said last evening that. Notwithstanding the
message of removal from Mana qua, he will
continue in Office until the State Depart
ment at Washington sees 1t TO revoke his
exeouatur
'Madriz has not the suthority to re-
move me from Office said Sefcr Bolafos.
His government has not beer recognized
BY the United States, and, therefore has no
standing at Washington. Nor can ne COM
municate officially with the State Depart
-faent. l will hold my Office until the state
Department withdraws my exeQuatur OR,
If the new government at Manaeua is
recognized by the United States. then
will forward my resignation
Sehor Bolahos did not speak as one who
felt a financial blow over the action Of the
new government in Nicaragua for he does
not need the Office and has been awaiting
the proper moment TO retire. He has been
persistent advocate of peace in his
country. and on the request OF President
the situation plainly TO the latter.
The day before DR. Madriz assumed the
Presidency Senior Bolaflos sent him a ca BILE
message, saying that his government would
not be recognized by the United States. and
that General Estrada would continue his
revolution. He advised DIR. Madyiz to
think IL over
Again the day after the sanguinary bat
tie at Rama, In which the government suf-
fered severe losses, Sefior Bolaflos cabled
TO DR.. Madriz. saying: The only way TO
save the country is TO recognize Estrada.
He has the moral support OF the United
States and Central America"
The only humane and patriotic course
said the consul yesterday lis 10 pacify
the country. Now that Zeiaya is out OF
office and out of the country and in the
light OF certain things that have happened
l think the best interests of the country
are to be conserved by placing General
Estrada and his government in power, be-
cause they best represent the patriotic and
political ideals Of the country. And the
sooner this is done the better for the coun-
try and humanity. for it will save much
unnecessary loss of life and destruction
of property
Senor Bolahos was a. outspoken IN his
cable communica tions to Zelaya as TO
Madriz. telling the former President that
If he remained in Nicaragua 1T would be
disastrous for him and prejudicial to the
country.
Rudolfo Espinosa, former Minister Of
Nicaragua at Washington, who resigned
his office because OF his sympathy with
the Estrada movement, received q ca Die
dispatch from President Madriz yesterday
which said: Il will trust in you and de-
pend upon your efficient aid"
Senor Espinosa cabled the following re-
ply:
THE only help | can offer you is to ne
gotiate for peace at Washington or at
Bluefeids"
Bluefelds is the seat of the provisional
government established by General Es-
trada Sehor Espinosa believes with Sehor
BoIafios that the establishment of peace
in Nicaragua was the paramount object.
He said:
Il understood that when DR.. Madriz
was called 10 the Presidency it was not to
continue the war out TO pacify the eoun-
try. and I am ready to give my best ser
vices to that end"
Much dissatisfaction is expressed by local
Nicaraguans over the appointment by
President Madriz of General Salvador To-
ledo as Minister of War and Colonel Juan
Leets az commandant at Corinto. They
point out that General Toledo has long
been a disturbing element in several of
the Central American countries and his
appointment will gain the further hostility
of those countries to Nicaragua He has
taken part in Instructions in Guatemala
and Salvador Colonel Leets, who is a
Russian, was the chief OF zelaya's secret
