DOUBTS MADRlz'S SINCERITY.
Estrada Says He is Fomenting Discord
and Stirring Up Anarchy.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Doubting the sim
cerity of President MadriZ, who has made
representations of peaceful intentions to
he revolutionary army in Nicaragua,
Gen. Estrada has declined to suspend hos
tilities and is determined to push his
lrmy onward toward Managua.
cable dispatch from Estrada at Blue
fields Dec. % received tonight by DR..
Castrillo, representative here of the pro-
;isional government in Nicaragua, indi-
Gated the attitude of the revolutionists
toward the proposal made by the new
President. Its text is as follows:
"MadriZ has asked me to suspend hos
tilities but our military operations cannot
De suspended because we know Madriz is
making conscrptions of troops from the
interior and is fomenting a division be-
.ween the eastern and western sections
of the republic.
You know that this procedure can only
result in more bloodshed and the founda-
ton of anarchy in our fatherland.
(Signed) 'ESTRADA.'
Owing to the fact that the state de-
partment has had much difficulty in OBJ
tanning from Vice Consul Caldera at Ma
lagua important details of recent happen
ngs there, it has been decided by the
department to send Consul Oivares, now
on leave in Washington, Immediately to
Managua to take charge of the consulate.
The department is inclined to attribute
Mr. Caldera's short and. therefore, unsat-
isfactory kilograms to the fact that he is
over economical in spending money for
cablegrams. Military activity at Mama
qua and on the west coast, it is said, con-
tinues. Admiral kimbalrs visit to Ma
driz at Managua in full uniform was
without the knowledge of the state de-
partment. Stories to the effect that this
visit might be regarded as a preliminary
step to the recognition of Madriz as Pres
ident of Nicaragua are declared to be en-
tirely without foundation.

MED the charge
Mrs. Berschott told the magistrate

cording to her allegations, attempted
TO make her drink a glass of beer.
When she refused, Mrs. Berschott
said, he upbraided her. but finally
cooled down" and gave her 81. Then
Just as he was leaving the room she
heard a revolver shot. Frightened, the
woman jumped behind door Just as
her husband, she testified, fired again.
The second time the bullet struck her
left arm. When she asked him why he
attacked her, Mrs. Berschott added.

that's ali.' Berschott said the shoo,.
ING was entirely accidental. An adj

PROBING ZELAYA'S ACCOUNTS.
Madriz Appoints Commission to Elk.
anime Predecessors Books.

Nicaragua, Dec. 29.-The Nicaraguan
Congress met in extraordinary session
today and appointed a commission to
consider the message of Minister Cen
cral Raca. who has asked the govern
ment to grant him power to exact war
contributions at his own discretion.
President Madriz today issued de-
cree appointing an investigation COM
mittee of five. which is charged with
the responsibility of examining the ac-
counts of the Zelayan administration.
The committees duties include the
working out Of a new system of IL
name, the revision of the various con-
sessions of the government and the de-
termination of the legality of the re-
cent act of the President in revoking
the grants of alcocho, tobacco and 9TH
er monopolies The government of
Honduras and Costa Rica made form
al acknowledgment of the Presidency
Of Madriz and renewed the professions
of friendship for the republic of Mica
ragua.
Zelaya is still technically head of the
Nicaraguan government. He surren'
dered his office for the remainder of his
term but was permitted to retain the
title of President in order that he
hight enjoy the immunity that the Of
ice provides. When this arrangement
was made Zelaya had in mind rumors
hat the United States government
would hold him individually responsible
or the deaths of the Americans, Groce
and Cannon.
Minister General Baca has invited
Rear Admiral Kimball to land the
United States marines on an island in
Corinto harbor, where the men will
have an opportunity to exercise and
where the sanitary arrangements will
meet requirements.
The special commission appointed by
Congress reported favorably on the
matter of comforting power on Minis
ter-General Baca to impose new war
AK in the payment Of which individ-
uals Who We're previously exempt by
The special dispensation of Zelaya are
made to contribute a retroactive share.

No statement has ever been made.
either by Gov. Creel or by the officials

DiaZ to accomplish this end.
Governor Creel later called at the
White House to say good bye to Pres

his mission to the United States had
been successful. Regarding Zelaya, Mr..
CreeI said that the deposed President
OF Nicaragua probably would not pass
more than two or three days in the
City of Mexico, but would go to Brus-
sells, where several members of his
family already had gone.

results show that the largest city does
not have the greatest number of arrests.

OIL BURNING ENGINES COSTLY.
Central Wants Order for Their Use
In Adirondacks Modified.

Albany, Dec. 29.-Application for a
further hearing and investigation has
been made by the New York Central
Railroad to the Public Service Commits
sion on the order of the commission is
sued in last April, providing that only
oil burning locomotives be operated
within the Adirondack forest preserve
from April Is to Nov. l of each year.
The order also provides for the COM
plete installation of oil-burning loco
motives not later than April Is next.
The company says that with the in
stallation of two oil-burning locomo-
tives and the increased protection fur
nished by it during the last season as
required by the commission, no forest
fires of any consequence were set by
it's locomotives during 1909. The cor
poration says it is prepared to show
the cost of operating in the Adiron-
dacks with oil as fuel will be doubled
and that returns would not meet the
expenses.
The commission is asked to modify
it's order SC as to suspend the opera
ton of oil-burning locomotives and per-
NIT the cmpany to employ the same
precautions during 1910 as were in eff
feet this year. Commissioner James S.
Whipple of the State Forest, Fish and
Game Commission says he will oppose
the application.

A ZELAYA DREAM.
Statement That Marines Helped Es-
trada Causes a Smile at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Statements made
by former President Zelaya that United
States marines participated in the battles
between the government troops of Nicara-
qua and the revolutionists We're received
here tonight in official vircles with amuse-
ment. While neither the officials of the
Marine Corps nor those of the navy de-
partment would discuss the statement, it
is known that there are not 400 marines on
the east coast of the country, and that
on Nov. /, when the battle of Colorado
Junction took place. there were none at
all.
SO far as the statement goes that the
men were deserters from the American
war vessels laying off the coast, no deser-
tons have been reported and it is declar-
ed that it is unlikely that any of the men
have deserted The only force of ma
rines of any magnitude is on the west
coast and these have been granted per-
mission by the governments of Salvador
and Honduras to land on the islands in
the bay of Fonseca.

The commission held that if the rate
assessed was in fact unreasonable the
defendants should be required to make
renaration, irrespective of the fact that
the shipper would have enjoyed a low
or rate if his shipments had moved
over different route. In this case the
lawful rate of 80 cents 100 pounds was
