TRAGIC DEATH
OF N|CARI GUAM
General Diaz Is Drowned As He
Starts on Voyage
WAS GOING TO MhNAGUA
Provisional Officers Had Suspected
That Diaz Was Not Sincere
In His Plans For
Nicaragua.
WAS GOING TO MANAGUA

Bluefelds, January T.-Gen. Pedro An
terday for Managua in order to treat for
peace with President Madriz, met with a
tragic end last night on Greytown bar.
The canoe in which he was attempting to
make landing was caught by a gigantic
wave and broke amidship. and he disap-
peared from view in the sea.
The voyage which ended the life of Cen
eral Diaz was in keeping with his career.
He was a personal friend Of President
Madriz and was of the belief that he
could persuade him to give way to Gen
eral Estrada as head OF the. republic
At first he was granted permission to
proceed TO Managua and confer to this
government, however, reserving the right
to reject any agreement that was entered
into by Madriz and Diaz.
Before he could leave Bluefields the
PROFESSIONALS began to suspect the sincerity
of his ultimate purpose and he was
stripped of official power though per-
mission was given him to go to Managua
In an unofficial capacity. He set out in
the darkness OF yesterday morning on his
errand Last night there came up high
wind and the booming of the surf at Blue
fields could be heard 10 miles inland.
In this surf Diaz and his canoe came
upon the Greytown bar which is known
the worst along the coast Picking
up the frail craft mountainous wave
bore 1t for moment on its crest and
then rent It asunder and with 1t the Diaz
of revolutionary fame disappeared.
The death OF General Diaz removed
from Nicaragua a spirit whose intre-
pidity was boundless. His career was
one replete with stirring incidents and
his pride was that of an old Spanish
grandee multiplied manifold. He was the
same Don Qufxito whom proud Spaniards

GREYT0WE MUST
HAVE NO BATTLE

Washington, January THE majority
of property In Greytown being owned
by British subjects, there must be no
fighting within that town. If any does
take place shall consider myself at
liberty to land a strong. armed party
and guns to stop it."
This is the substance of a note re-
ported by Consul Moffat at Bluefelds to
have been sent by the commander of the
British ship Scylla now at Greytown,
Nicaragua, to Generals Estrada and Hur-
iado, commanding the revolutionary army
and government forces, respectively, now
in that vicinity.
This action on the part of the British
commander injects a new element into
the military situation in eastern Nicara-
qua and in all probability will result in
Estrada moving his army Immediately
westward with Ma nagua for its ultimate
destination.
1t Is said at the state department that
the British commander Is well within his
rights in inhibiting fighting within the
city of Greytown, the United States it.

dents for such action.

ARGUMENT FOR BIG NAVY
One Person Killed and Many Injured
In Irish League Disturbance.
Balfour and Chamberlain
VIII Be Unopposed.

London, January 1.-THE energy Of the
political campaign by speech and by
letter is undlminished, bv' nv reason or
exhaustion of argument BY the opposing
sides is becoming less interesting.
Lord Lansdowne at Salisbury and LORD
Curzon of Teddleston at Brighton, chal-
lenged tonight the validity of the law
which provides that members of the house
of lords may not, after the election writs
are issued, which will occur Monday,
take part In the campaign. Both CON-
demned the fact that the peers were
forced to maintain silence and Lord Cur
zon characterized the rule as arbitrary
and absurd.
John Burns president of the local gov
eminent board speaking at Battersea,
said tariffs had caused nearly all wars,
that religions had not and that tax
on timber might lead to war with the
United States.
He said he considered that the speech
delivered by A. J. Balfour leader of the
opposition in the house of commons, in
which alarmist references were made
concerning Germany, was about the most
in public life.
In an election address just issued Mr.
Burns declares himself in favor of an
Irish parliament, providing the imperial
supremacy is maintained inviolate. De-
scribing himself as a convinced free
trader and a hearty supporter of the
government policy, Mr.. Burns outlines
a programme of desirable legislation, In
GLIDING adult suffrage for both men and
women, the payment of members of parli-
ament and their election expenses, shorter
terms of parliament, the extension of the
old age pensions, etc.
The Earl of Halsbury, who was lord
chancellor in Mr.. Balfour's cabinet, has
brought forth as. an argument for a big
navy, a letter written in 1882 by General
Gordon predicting the rise in a quarter OF
a century of naval power greater than
Great Britain, namely Germany.
The first serious disturbance of the
campaign, which entailed one death and
injuries to many persons. occurred in
the eastern section OF London tonight.
The Irish league had called a meeting
in the town hall, on Gable street. A
great crowd was besiegipg the hall and
the congestion became SO great that the
railing around the hall collapsed and a
score of persons fell into the arena.
One man was killed and ten were Sc
/ riousiy injured. The meeting was aban-
doned.
Among the first men TO be reelected
to the new parliament will be Arthur
j. Balfour. for the city Of London, and
Joseph Chamberlain for Birmingham,
west, neither OF whom will be opposed.
According to present arrangements 81
constituencies will be polied January Is,
and the results in these will be suffi-
cient TO give a good idea of how the
struggle is going.
An indication of the small field thus
far cultivated by the labor party is given
by the small number of it's nominees.
Only 80 labor and socialist candidates are
now before the electors, while there are
ST counties in England. Wales and Scot
land. where no labor or socialist candii-

DEED OF zELAYA
He Says That American Re-
sentiment Is Justified
ZELAlA MAY BE PUNISHED
Statement of Madriz Is Taken To Sig

Extradtion of Zelaya
From Mexico.

washington, January 7.-President Ma
driz OF Nicaragua in message received
at the state department late today de-
clared that the resentment shown by
the government and the people of the
nited States because OF the execution OF
Groee and Cannon, American citizens. was
justified
The telegram was received by the state
department through Admiral Kimball. 1t
stated that Madrz had asked Admiral
Kimball to inform the United States
government that after personal study
of the circumstances attending the exc
cution of Groce and Cannon he profound
ly lamented the violent act which cost
these men their lives
President Madriz, the message further
says. after personal investigation of the
circumstances, and under which the ex-
eeution took place, declared the deed

to leave him no other recourse than Grim

Members of the Central American dip
lomatic colony here were not surprised
at President Madrizs statement. It is
Madriz's programme, they pointed out,
naturally to assure the United States OF
his complete disassociation with former
President Zelaya and that officials poll
icies, that the news is given out
Unanimously however, the diplomats
refuse to accept the protestations of Ma
driz. 1t Is reported here tonight that
the arrival of the heaviest American in
weston in Central America is expected
in Washington tomorrow or Sunday. 1t
is not believed he will visit the state
department. but his appearance. It is said,
will do much toward clearing up the
present situation. His mission, 1t was ac

establishment of more stable conditions

declared was the personifcation of pride.
While his departure from Bluef1elds for
Managua severed his relations with the
revolution, yet his loss 1t is said In the
ranks of the PROFESSIONALS is deeply felt.
At different times Senior Diaz was the
friend and enemy of Zelaya. A few
years ago he was endeavoring to make
his escape incognito on board Pacific
mail steamer which stopped regularly at
Corinto. He was at odds with Zelaya and
ignoring the American flag on the liner
the President had him removed and had,
him made prisoner. While he was being
taken by train to Managua General Diaz
jumped from the car, escaped In the
bushes and safely reached Honduras.
An earlier experience in the turbulent
career of General Diaz occurred on the
San Juan river when as a prisoner he
jumped from boat seemingly to certain
death among the alligators and sharks.
His escape imbued the natives with the
belief that Diaz need fear no death in any
battle line.
