CHARACTER SAYS CRISIS is
RAPIDLY APPROACHING IN MIC
ARAGUAN AFFAIRS.
{Herald Specially

Washington, D. c., July 15.-The
general belief that crisis is ap-
preaching in the affairs of Nicaragua
is virtually admitted today from an
authoritative source. The pending
crisis is accentuated by reports of the
i'll treatment of William Pittman, the
American, who was found starving in
an over-crowded prison in Managua.
Madriz is piling up score of charges
to which he will eventually be called
on to reply. The charges against him
include the release of the steamer
Venus from New Orleans, the making
of alleged false statements, the bonn
harding of principal unfortified Amer
lean property. threats against the life
of Americans and the detention of DR..
c. Burgheim in prison without cause,
and others. 1t is believed these
charges already constitute sufficient
reasons for Intervention on the part of
this country. However, Secretary
Knox prefers to wait for decisive
step on the part of Madriz.

(HeraId Soecial.)

London, July 15.-The Scotland
Yard authorities have abandoned the
theory that DR.. Hawley Crippen and
Ethel Leteve, the stenographer, have
fled the country An inquest over the
mutilated body of the woman sup
posed to be the wife of Crippen will
be held tomorrow. 1t is expected to
show that Mrs. Crippeu was killed by
poison and her body mutilated after
death. The reason for continuing the
search of the house is said to be due
to the fact that some of the larger
bones of the body are missing. If
Crippen is captured it will be hard to
convict him, as it is impossible to
legally identify the body as that of his
wife, or to connect him with the
crime.
