The factions have not yet got to-
gether In Nicaragua, but it looks more
and more as though they are likely to
do so. President Madriz has made
peace proposals, and General Estrada
the leader of the insurgents. has re-
piled. The offer is not accepted, but
General Estrada suggests meditation,
with the United States as the deciding
power. Uncle Sam is not looking for
any such mission, but If he can be in
strumental in bringing about an hon.
orable adjustment of the quarrel and
in restoring peace to a distracted re-
gion perhaps he will not object. And
the steps taken looking to the with
drawal of the American naval forces
in that quarter would seem to indicate
that apprehensions of further serious
trouble are no longer entertained.
