in this country can only be assured by
the complete exclusion of Zelaya and
his followers. We will continue fight
ing until this is secured. In the name
of liberty and justice on our side, we
ask you to recognize my government.
Inis is the determination of General
Estrada, at the head of the revolution
ary army in Nicaragua, as expressed
in telegram received from him by
the secretary of state. The telegram
is dated at Bluefelds and was sent by
wireless from Colon. In the same tele-
gram Estrada says no change in the
person of Zelaya's, by the chief execu-
| tive selected by him or by the con-
gress he controls, will be accepted by
the majority of the Nicaraguan people
allied to the revolutionist cause in the
struggle for justice.
This is the first authoritative state
ment received by the state depart
ment that the revolutionists will not
accept Zelaya's selection as a success
sor to himself. The decision means
the continuance of the revolution.

Court of Justice at Cartago, who has
been put forward as candidate for the
presidency to succeed zelaya, received
an enthusiastic reception on his ar
rival here Sunday. Long before he
reached the capital Madriz was the
| object of cheering crowds. He was
met by delegations from various de-
! partments and cheered all along the
way from Corinto to Managua.
| Atsthis place the crowds awaiting
the appearance of the candidate were
extraordinary. Troops and police were
out in force for the protection o.
Madriz, who proceeded on foot to {
/ hotel through an almost inpenetrablt
mass of people, the soldiers and de.
tectives breaking a way through th'
solid ranks, pushing and throwing
aside the frantic people.
In front of the park there were hos
tile cries against the attempt Of thu
sildiers to clear the street and i'm
mediately fifty civilians, all of then
residents of Leon. which is the hom
of Nadriz and the stronghold Of th'
Liberals who favor his candidacy
whipped out revolvers, brandishint
them in the air. They formed a com
pact mass around Madriz, acting a
his bodyguard and escorting him t.
his quarters.
