tell him that for the safety of the sys-

The domination Of Cannon over his
~lieutenants is such that any one of
them would rather meet death than to
face the speaker on this proposition,
because Cannon has no intention of re-
firing, and will not take kindly to the
suggestion; but he is impossible, and
his ~lieutenants know 1t and fear that
II he continues rs a factor he will
carry the system down with him.
They know that for their own good
the system must be saved. They are
guarding three propositions.
The first is the right in the speak
ership of inquisitorial recognition. The
second, the power which the system
will do everything to preserve, even
to eliminating the present speaker, is
the power of the appointment of COM
mittees, under which, as is well
known, a part of the house control
hinges.
The third factor of control which
the machine will try to preserve is the
membership of the speaker on the
committee on rules.
The condemnation of Cannon can
no longer be identified as sectional. |
am in receipt of letters from nearly
every section of the country, official
and private alike, and all tell the same
tale OF a widespread determination to
veto the power of this man.
Cannon may not know hat he is

tenants know 1t, and from this time
on their whole endeavor will be to
save the system and transmit, unim.

TENSE SITUATION EXISTS AS
RESULT OF EXECUTION OF
TWO YANKEES.
MINISTER MUST EXPLAIN
BY State OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Be-
Iiigency Of Insurgents viii Be
Recognized in a Day
Or So.

Washington, d. c. - Indications
seem clearly to point TO the United
States government recognizing the
b%elligerency of the revolutionist gov
eminent in Nicaragua under General
Estranda. 1t is not improbable that a
public declaration will be made in the
near future. Although the state de-
partment officials decline to discuss
even the probability of such a course,
The surrounding circumstances would
undoubtedly justify such action, it is
said.
At this moment the insurgent forces
are in practical control of at least one
half of the whole Nicaraguan territory
and have possession of the entire At.
lantic coast line, except from Grey
town, and the blockade from that port
completes the whole line.
DR.. HaZera, the Nicaraguan minister
designate, received from the state de-
partment a note demanding an explain
alton of the execution of Cannon and
Grace. The preparation Of a reply
was speedily begun. 1t was admitted
at the legation that a representative
of the incident" had been received
from Zelaya.
1t is assumed that the press dis
patches received from Managua were
accurate in the statement that the
men were executed after a court mar.
tial trial on a charge that they had
attempted by the use of dynamite
mines to blow up some of President
Ielaya's troop transports.
If the department advices confirm
his story the question at issue will
be whether the charge against the
men, assuming that it is proven, justi-
fed their execution.
Probably everything will depend
and Grace in their attacks upon Ze-
laya's forces.
If 1t should appear that the Ameri-
cans slipped within the lines of the
government force under disguise when
they planted their mines they might
be regarded as spies. and SO subject
10 summary execution. But il they
engaged in their work openly it will
probably be held that they should have
been treated as prisoners of war on
the theory that an attack on a ship by
a mine is a legitimate act of lawful
war.
In the latter case there is no doubt
that President Zelaya will be called
to account and ample reparation de-
manded.

his policy of leaving to congress the

Cherry, Nov. 22-An exploring eSpe-
dition, led by State Inspector Taylor,
and Miners Archie Frew and Miles
Doherty, reached the third vein OF the
st. Paul mine where $50 men are be-
lieved to be imprisoned tonight. They
report little water in the gallery and
the air good. Hopes of rescuing many
imprisoned miners alive is prevalent.
The main shaft ends the second
vein. To the gallery, 167 feet below,
a smaller opening continues through
which a small cage runs. It was as
serted that the imprisoned miners, If
living, would soon be brought to that
cage.
One explorer penetrated foTty feet
into the lower gallery, which is knee
deep in water. He found no sign of
life, and no miners bodies near the
shaft. The men had apparently re-
treated toward the end of the shaft.
IDENTIFICATION WAS EASY
Identification of the forty-two bodies
recovered today was comparative Y
easy. Physicians declared that all
but few died of asphyxiation. Some
had torn all their clothing off In their
agony.
Gruesome tokens of the futile fight
for life made by the men were found
beside the bodies. On the walls of
the shaft was fashioned rude wooden
pinwheels, shaped in the fashion OF
ventilating fans, and intended to bring
a current of air. Boards were torn
from the timbeving of the mine and
crudely nailed and tied about the
handles of the miners picks.
A PITIFUL STORY
These the men turned by hand.
standing close to them to grasp any
oxygen stirred by their movement.
Close by the fans the largest groups
of dead were found.
That they retained their faculties
for mauv days before they succumbed
was obvious, but physicians de Jared

died within the last forty-eight hours.

appointed superintendent in charge of
rescue work and rehabilitation OF the
