Leblanc's Misfortune.

Leblanc was running with the "lnu
under full power at al estimated speed
of eighty miles an hour when the feed
pipe from his gasoline tank to his mo-
tor loosened under the incessant jar
ring OF the engine and ne suddenly
found himself with nothing but mo-
mentum to carry him. 1t is a peculiar
ity Of racing aeroplaneS that they are
trimmed down SO fine they can not eX-
ecute volplane or glide if the engine
shuts off. They must come to the
earth under and even then they bump
severely in landing. Leblanc was help
less and paniC-StriCken. He tried to
lift his planes so that the last few drops
of gasoline might filter down into the
engine and lend him strength enough
TO make landing. His steerage way
was gone and when puff of wind
caught him he drifted sideways, still
drifting at tremendous speed, and
crashed head foremost into telegraph
pole.
The pole was fourteen inches thick,
but he broke it in three pieces as if it
had been toothpick. The first frag-
ment was sliced clean off twelve feet
up and snapped again at the bottom of
the stump. The third and topmost frag-
ment fell over backwards and smashed
down on the fragile planes. The chas-
sis and steel shield which incloses the
motor were completely crumpled, but
the solid steel Of the motor itself with
stood the shock. Had Leblanc hit the
pole in any other manner it is difficult
to see how he could possibly have es-
capped death.

REGRET FOR FORNOS DIAz.
The Next Envoy Likely to Propose Harsher
COnditiOns-Zelaya's Conduct.

Special Cdble Despatch to TEE SUN.
MANAGUA, Jan. s.-Muoh regret is felt
here because Of the drowning of Gen.
Fornos Diaz, who was on his way to the
capital as the representative OF Con.
Estrada to discuss terms OF peace with
President Madriz. He was a personal
friend OF DIR. Madriz. and it was felt that
he would be able to arrange terms salts
factory to both sides and end the present
impossible situation. 1t is now thought
that Gen. Estrada will select a new envoy
who will insist upon harsher terms than
would have been presented by Fernos
Diaz.
The residents OF the capital were again
thrown into a state OF alarm to-day by
circumstantial reports that Gen Chamorro.
one OF the revolutionary Generals who
took part in the battle of Rama, which
resulted in the defeat Of the Government
troops. la now advancing upon Managus.
President Madriz has ordered force OF
Government troops to proceed to la
Wango to check the advance Of the Fevo-
Mtionists. It is feared that II battle
occurs at La Wango and the Government
forces arc defeated the revolutionists
will be able to take the capital.
1t Is stated that Gen. Chamorro Is OPP
posed to DR.. Madriz holding the Presi-
dency under any circumstances and
that he will endeavor to precipitate a
decisive engagement before another peace
envoy from Gen. Estrada can reach
Managua.
President Madriz is still active in his
determination to place tho responsibility
for tho execution Of the two Americans,
Cannon and 0rooe. His latest step in the
mattor is to order formal court proceed
ings to determine the responsibility
It is stated that in the records OF tho
court-martial which condemned tho
Americans the name OF former President
Zelaya docs not appear, which will mako
it more difficult to prove his connection
with tho affair.
IL is possible. however. that the prose-
cutor before the court-martial may
have evidence showing that Zelaya
ordered the execution of tho Judgment
of the court-martial. in which event il is
believed that the Government will be in a
position to ask for tho extradition of

claims to have received from my brother
pleading for mercy and piteously inn
ploring commutation OF the death pen

never wrote them"
This was the way Charles Groce OF
Hampstead, brother of tho young Texan
executed in Nicaragua. expressed him
self regarding the publication of two
letters Zelaya alleges that he received
from Groce, in which the latter confessed
his guilt.
LEONARD would have no occasion to
make any confession. and that part of
the letter shows it TO have been written
by some one else" said Mr.. Groce; -he
knew that IL he was ever taken prisoner
Zelaya would have him killed, and he
knew that the trial if any would be a
sham"
In letter written to one of his broth
ers and dated October 10 Leonard Groce
said that Zelaya rule meant the destruc-
ton Of the country and that IL 1t was
maintained he (Groce) would be penni-
less and probably prisoner for life. He
said that he would meet his fate and
would never kneel to Zelaya. but die
like a man.
IN view Of this statement relatives and
friends Of the fearless Texan say that
he would never have writton the messages
which Zelaya is now exhibiting to save
himself.
