Against the Americans Bitter.

Confined in a filthy cell. unt.3
save by charitable strangers, VIII
liam Pittman, an American captured
by the Madrlz government forces
Near Bluefields, was found in a
crowded local prison at Managua,
Nicaragua, by Consul Olivares on
Thursday.
The consul, who is stationed az
that point, teiesraphed the state de.
partment that he visited Pittman,
discovered the revolving conditions
and through protests forced DR. Mad
riz to furnish the adventurer better
prison accommodations.
Pittman, whose relatives live at
Cambridge, Mass, told Consul Oil
wares that he left Greytown July 4.
that since then his caprors have fail
ed to provide him with food, leaving
him altogether dependent for sub
sistence upoL charity. Pittman was
starving.
Olivares Immediately protested,
reminding Madriz of his promise TO
treat Pittman with consideration,
Madriz finally agreel to transfer
Pittman 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
action regarding Pittman had been
determined on by the de facto au-
thorities and that he, Olivares, would
exert every effort to secure humane
treatment for Pittman.
When the United States originally
learned Of Pittman's arrest Or. Mad
riz assured Olivares that the prison
er would he treated fairly and con-
slderately.
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
received by United States consular
representatives.
Consul Olivares cabled to the state
department that the anti-American
feeling in the western part of Mica
rSgua, the section under control of
the Modriz faction, is daily growing
more bitter.
Mr.. Olivares made vigorous re-
presentations to DR.. Madriz and has
reiterated to him Secretary Knox's
warning that this government will
hold Madriz factions strictly &C
countable for the security OF Ameri-
can 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
English home governments, or to
Washington, probably because the
British and German cOnsuls doubt
less are Nicaraguan local merchants.
American Consul General Eber-
hardt, who is detailed at large, and
happens to be in Nicaragua on tour
of inspection cabled the state de-
I,artment corroborauing the alarm
of foreign residents over threats OF
Nicaraguans. He stated that the
opinion at Matagalpa was that T. Sc
anti-foreign demonstrations were in
stigated by the Madriz faction, whose
| officials have openly threatened the
Americans and other foreigners.

TO THINK ABOUT.

1t may be that this is at variance
with your previous knowledge of os-
teopathy-that you have only heard
of it as being a good thing in certain
chronic ailments. Yet any physician
Of whatever school, is more certain,
everything else being equal of scor-
ing success in a new and acute case
than in an old and chronic one.
1t is fact, of course, that Oste-
opathy has won most of it's laurels IL
curing old cases forwhich other sys-
TENS no longer held out any hope. Al
first it was onlysuchcases that ever
came to the Osteopath; and success
has brought SO many of these cases
to him that he isoften unable to de-
vote as mueh time as he wishes to
