ing that Madriz has produced inten-
tionally reign of terror in the west

flfths of the white people of that re-

The dispatches show that William

since he left Greytown on July on
his way to Managua.

also furnishing thu money to take
care of the relatives in Nicaragua of

The more serious aspect of the gen.
eral situation is that citizens of Ger

against the reign of terror in western
Nicaragua. Nicaraguans openly make
threats against the lives of American
citizens and there is nothing to pre-
murders, arson, robberies. ETC., which
