Glenn Curtiss Makes Wonderful

Washington, May &.-(Special.) 1.-The
United States, it has been officially an

OF maintaining control of Nicaraguan af-
fairs, whether or not the Madriz forces
capture Bluefelds.
This is in direct line with the forecast
of events for the settlement of the Nica7
raguan troubles as given today. The
navy department has continued its force
of 100 men and machine guns from the
Paducakl at and near the custom house
at Bluehelds. This force is to be an in
ternational police force, and is to remain
indefinitely; in fact, until political con-
dition has been established In Nicaragua
which will be entirely satisfactory to the
Secretary of State and the President
This amounts in theory and in fact to
an occupation of the soil of Nicaragua,
which has been made necessary, the Of
ficials hold, by the utter irresponsibility
of the acts of both Madriz and Zelaya.
Madriz is not recognized as the President
of Nicaragua by the United States.
Tile situation at Bluefieds today is
complex, but it is entirely soluble by the
safeguards which the state department
has thrown around existing and all pos
siDle conditions.
If tho Estradists are defeated, and are
driven back into the city, the United
States sailors will not permit them to be
slaughtered in the streets. IL the Madriz
forces gain victory and enter the city
