STARVING IN DIRTY
CROWDED JAIL IN
NICARAGUA
Hardship Imposed on William
Pittman, American Engineer
CONSUL CORRECTS ABUSE
Compelled Madriz Government to
Give Man Better Treatment
Until Trial Was Held

Bluefields, July 15.-William Pitt
man, the American captured by the
Madriz government forces was found
in an overcrowded local prison at
Managua, Nicaragua, by Consul Oil
wares Wednesday confined in filthy
cell, six by five feet, unfed save by
charitable strangers. The consul,
who is stationed at that point, tele-
graphed the state department at
Washington yesterday that he visit
ed Pittman, discovered the revolving
conditions and through protests fore
ed DR., Madriz to furnish the adven.
turous American better prison ac-
commodations. Pittman, whose rela-
tiyes live in Cambridge, told Consul
Olivares that he left Greytown the
4th and that since then his captors
had failed to provide him with fool,
leaving him altogether dependent for
subsistence upon charity. Pittman
was starving
Olivares Immediately protested, re-
minding Madriz OF his promise to
treat Pittman with consideration.
Madriz finally agreed to transfer Pitt
man to larger and cleaner cell and
to allow the consul to supply him
with a sleeping couch and food. The
consul reported that no definite ac-
ton regarding Pittman has been de-
termined by the defacto authorities
and that he, Olivares, will exert
every effort to insure fairness and
humane treatment for Pittman.
When the United States originally
| learned of Pittman's arrest DR.. Mad
riz assured Olivares that the prisoner
would be treated fairly and consid-
erately.
Constant complaints from Ameri-
can citizens at Matagalpa. relative to
threats repeatedly made against their
lives and property by agents OF the
Madriz government. are being re-
ceived by United States consular
| representatives. Consul Olivares
cabled the state department at Wash
ington yesterday that the anti-Ameri-
can feeling in the western part Of
Nicaragua, the section under control
of the Madriz faction. is daily grow
! ing more bitter Mr. Olivares has
made vigorous representations to DR..
Madriz, and has reiterated TO him
Secretary Knox's warning that this
government will hold the Madriz fac
ton strictly accountable for the Sc
curity Of American life and property.
British and German subjects at
Matagalpa have appealed to their
consuls in Managua for protection.
So far no representations as to these
have been made to the German and
British home governments or to
Washington, probably because the
British and German consuls doubt
less are Nicaraguan local merchants
American Consul Eberhardt, who is
detailed at large and happens to be
in Nicaragua on tour OF inspection,
cabled the state department az Wash
ington yesterday corroborating the
alarm of foreign residents over
threats by Nicaraguans. He said
that the opinion at Matagalpa was
that these anti-foreign demonstrate
ions were instigated by the Madriz
faction whose officials have openly
threatened Americans and other for
| eigners
