WARM FOR ZELAYA
But Nicarsgua's Representative Dis
credits Press Reports

Washington. Nov. 20 - Denial is
made by the Nicaraguan legation
here that Zelaya is about to leave
that country. The legation claims to
be in daily communication with Man
aqua. 1t is also denied that the reb-
els captured Chinandega and Ell Viejo.
The legation declares the revolution
is at a standstill.
1T is now quite plain to an i'm
partial public" said Charge d'affaires
Rodriguez today, that the reports
given to the press by revolutioni3s
agents are, to say the least, gross Elk
aggerations. The legation has been
in constant communication with
Managua by cable, and there is no
truth whatsoever in the report that
lines had been cut in the interior Of
Nicaragua.
There is no truth either in the
news concerning the capture by reb-
els of the towns of ~Chinandega and
Ell Viejo, and the report of execu-
tons and imprisonments in Managua
is absolutely without foundation. On
the contrary, the capital is calm as
can be possible under the circum-
stances, the congress is holding it's
ordinary sessions and there is no
reason to fear disloyaltv from the
supporters of President Zelaya."
Rodriguez says the revolution Is at
a standstill. Estrada has In his pow
err the towns of Blueields, Rama and
Cabo. Greytown is put down as in
dispute. ut is false that Zelaya is
not friendly toward Americans resid-
ing in Nicaragua" said Rodriguez,
"as Americans hold the best conces-
sions in Nicaragua" He added that
the papers relating to executions of
Groce and Cannon, the two Ameri-
cans. were on the way to the legation
and that they will show they had beer
executed in IN entirely legal way.

A~ppraises North Platte Plant.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb, May %. -
Especial Telegram).-At a session of the
city council last evening the city engineer
reported his appraisal of the water works
plant Of this city now belonging to the
North Platte Water Works company. The
council had requested the report at a
former session, to get at a basis of nego-
~tiations to buy the plant from the concern
that now WINS 1t, tt city engineer fixed
a value OF $50, sO2.9 on the plant. This
did not include some small extensions
which will add a few hundred dollars,
This is about $500 lower than the city
engineers former estimate, but the diff
ference is due to the fact that iron piping
is now 6 to S per cent. cheaper and there
has been some depreciation in value since.
Il is thought that the solution Of the
water works proposition will soon be had
by a purchase by the city of the present
plant.

explained that some time before she had

She had gained a number of pounds and
her former palpitation OF the heart, hum
