est In the country where they lived
and where they had acquired consid-
cradle wealth and property. When
last saw Mr.. Cannon. i'll the end of
October. he had just returned from
his plantation at San Carlos, part Of
which had been destroyed by agents
Of Zelaya. He was gong to join Gen
eral Estrada. his personal friend, and
he told ME be had been appointed to
post OIL the generals staff.
mir. Groce, too, had very valuable
property in Nicaragua. valued approx
imately at $4,000. with about as
much more distributed in Honduras,
San Salvador and other republics. He
was an expert mining engineer and
used his technical knowledge to the
advantage of General Estrada.
Both Groce and Cannon were cap
tured after decisive encounter be-
tween Estrada's forces and those of
Zelaya near the San Juan river. Re
aya's force. contrary to the treaty pro-
vision, deliberately crossed the river
into Costa RIGA. retrossed it at an I'M
expected point. and, appearing i'll the
vanguard of General Estrada's force,
put it to fight.
"Eaqer to Be Rid of Cannon
PERSONALLY | have no doubt that
both Cannon and Groce were taken in
the act of laying mines Under the river
and adjacent roads. But as they were
recognized officers of the revolutionary
party it was utterly unwarranted to
lead them TO execution. never be-
lieved they had fair court martial,
but that they were killed on the per-
sonal order Of Zelaya. A cable in
cipher received from friends in Mica
ragua two days after the execution
tells me that Zelaya refused to take
into consideration suggestion of his
own general in chief that their SEN
| fences be committed.
"Zelaya had repeatedly shown him.
self eager % be rid of Cannon. Can
non was captured and condemned to
death In The last revolution, but
through the Intervention of Mr.. Greg
DRY, the American minister, his SEN
tence was committed. They contiscat-
ed about half his property. Mr.. Can
non frequently showed me letters in
which were plain proofs of Zelaya's
luminosity to him. He had not a
chance of escape"
| Mr.. Holland declared that most of
| the American residents in Nicaragua
had either left the country as unsafe
Tor retired to their plantations or mines,
Most of them. he said. were hoping
that the United States would take
charge Of the situation and restore or
der for the proper development of the
country's many resources.

An lbsen Memorial.

The admirers of Ibsen have a pro-
ect to acquire the apothecary's shop at
Grimstadt where Ibsen was arpren
ticed from 1874 to 1850 and restore it
to its appearance at that period as a
memorial Of the author Of .Hedda
Gabler" The appeal sent out states
that the old house Of the apothecary
Reimann still exists. and It is almost
in the same state az when Ibsen dwelt
there. Almost all the fittings still ex-
list and ean be purchased. The whole
place, the shop. the laboratory and the
rooms. will certainly prove OF the
greatest interest. and the committee
expresses the opinion that future gen
CREATIONS will be grateful to those who
have prevented the house and its sur
roundings from falling to decay.

He declares that the arctic life APP

summer he will join an expedition to

zens Leroy Cannon and Leonard
tIroce by order of President Zelaya.
In severing relations with the present
government III control at Managua
Secretary of State Knox took the first
step toward Furnishing Zelaya for the
Cannon and Groce execution and for
repeated violations of the conventions
of the Central American peace confer
ence, which was fostered By the Unit
ed States and Mexico.
Mr.. Cannon and Mr. Groce, who
were shot to death By order of Presi-
lent Zelasa for participation in the
revolution il Nicaragua, were not ire
sponsible adventurers, but large prop
arty holders Id that and adjoining
Central American republics. according
o g, Spencer Holland, who has con-
;iderable property and mining inter
ests in Nicaragu and who returned TO
New York city a few days ago, when
he situation of foreign residents not
friendly to The Zelaysls regime became
precarious in Nicaragua.
Prosecuted by ZeIaya.
According to Mr.. Holland. both Can
non and Groce had been constantly
prosecuted by Zelaya in the past. Cam
non having been captured and con-
demned to death in the revolution of
year ago. but secured communication
Of his sentence to a heavy fine on rep
reservations made by the American
minister. At the time of his death
Cannon, according to Mr.. Holland. was
a member of the staff of General Es-
trada. Ills execution was carried out
by order Of Zelaya after d plea for
communication had been made by Zela-
vas own general in chief.

without proper trial. Mrs. Holland de-
elares, Zelaya violated the provisions
Of the treaty of 1908 between the Gem
trail American republics. of which Mex
leo and the United States were guar
antors.
1.-THE present Intervention of the
United States is due solely, said Mr..
Holland, ito the violation BY Zelaya
of the treaty of the Central American
republics. guaranteed by the United
States and Mexico. in which the neu-
traIity of the various countries. their
freedom from trespass in time of war
and the inyiolability of the rights of
residents Of any one country In the
territory of the others We're guaran-
teed. Zelaya has frequently broken
various prov sioIs of the treaty and
insulted the United States representa-
lives by alleging il. defense pretenses
which no schosll1oy would for mo-
ment deem worthy Of consideration.
It was because Ct Zelaya's insulting
conduct that Mr.. Gregory the Ameri-
can minister. At last lost patience and
left for Washington His departure
was deplored by all except Zelaya. who
was more than glad to be rid of an
intelligent diplomatic representative

his game.

While $4,000 is the estimated cost Of

lump. They viii suggest an appropria-
ton Of $50 900 a year for three years.

area to be covered by the system the

Economy will be the watchword Of ths

mates for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1911.
These estimates are In course OF pren-

Commissioners at an early date. Orders
have gone out from the Board Of Com
missioners to the head Of each depart-
ment that unusual care and economy
must be exercised in the estimates.
One Of the largest items to be clint
mated from the next budget will be the
initial appropriation. a portion OF e
100000 for The Improvement OF the pres-
ent water supply Of the District. This
Will be made possible because OF the re-
