ed BY Consul at Manasua.-
N~lcaraeuan Chief, Respects
v. S. Request.

Washington, d. c. - DR.. Luis
Corea, representative in Washington
of the Madriz government of Near
aqua made public a dispatch from
President Madriz rs follows:
Managua, June 4.
"Corea, Washington.
Generals Lara and Godoya (com-
handing the government troops which
were before Bluefield) reconcentrated
their forces by my order at Almendro,
in accordance with your cable advices
early this week that they should not
fight in the city of Bluefields. They
withdrew with perfect organization
and with their arms and ammunition.

trate at Auelles des los Bueyes and

gagement.
CSigned.) "MADRIZ."
Corea said he had received no word
regarding the capture of William F.
Pittman, the young Bostonian who
Saturday was reported to ave been
taken by General Irias' troops while
he was mining the %Outposts of Blue
fields for the Estrada forces. For
this reason the Madriz representatives
doubted the truth of Pittman's zap
ture. If he had been taken, however,
DR.. Corea said, he felt sure that no
fate would befall him the would cause
the United States government any APP
prehension.
Corea points out that General Irias
into whose hands Pittman apparently
has fallen, fell out with the deposed
President Zelaya because it was said
he did not approve of the execution by
Zelaya's order of the Americans,
Gorce and Cannon. With General
Irias is Francisco Altsehul, who was
Nicaraguan consul at New Orleans
and who, according to DR.. Corea well
government in such matters.
Actually a Prisoner.
Assurances have been given the
state department by the Madriz fac
ton, however, that Pittman will be
treated fairly. These came to Secre-
tary Knox in a dispatch from Ameri-
can Consul Olivares at Managua to
whom the secretary has sent the
newspaper reports of the fate which
had befallen Pittman and pointed out
that this government would scrutin-
ize the treatment accorded him.
The dispatch also contained the
statement that a c~ourtmartial to try
the prisoner had not been ordered.
The state department sent a para
phrase of the telegram to Edwin F.
Pittman of Cambridge, Mass, relative
of the man in custody. After referring
to the departments instructions Con-
sui Olivares said:
Or. Madriz has just assured me
through General Toledo that a court
martial has o been thought Of, much
less ordered, and has further assured
me that Pittman will be treated fairly
and considerably; and that tele.
graphic instructions will be dispatched
Immediately to General Irias at Grey,
town. He also has informed me that
the report hitherto received from Gen
eral Irias relative to Pittman is vague
The information received from Con
sui Olivares in satisfactory to the
state department, and for the moment
there is nothing more to be done. A
copy of his dispatch has been sent
TO the consul at Bluefields.

Washington, ID. G., The senate
passed the administration railroad Dill.
IL had beer under consideration Tor
more than IL weeks and practically
no other business except appropriation
bills was considered in that long peri
cd. Only IL votes, these by Demo
Gratis. were recorded against the bill.
The practical unanimity with which
the measure was passed was due to
the radical changes made In the bill
from the form in which it was drafted
by Attorney General Wickersham, fol
lowing numerous conferences at the
White House on the subject of amend,
ing interstate m law. All OF
the insurgents who opposed many fea'
lures of the original bill, voted for 1t.
Through the elimination of pooling
and merger sections, and by reason OF
the adoption of many amendments in
the interest of shippers, the progress

a signal victory and most of the Dem.
ocrats expressed themselves as favor

for the bill would have been unani-

Bill Finally Passed.
Debate ceased at $3.50 o'clock when
Senator Elkins, chairman of the inter
state commerce committee, moved to
take up the bill which was passed by
the house and after striking out the
body of that measure to substitute the
matter agreed upon by the senate.
In that form the bill was voted upon,
with the result that 1t was passed by
a vote of SO to IL.
No Republican voted against the
bill and six Democrats voted for 1t.

The Democrats recorded against 1t

Smith of South Carolina.
Just before the voting began Senat-
or La Toilette, one of the insurgent
Republican leaders, served notice up
on the senate that unless the senate
conferees made a determined fight for
retention of amendments procured by
progressives and Democrats it could
not hope to approve the conference re-
port.

were made by Senators Bacon, La Fol-

Washington, ID. c. Bernard H.
Baker, one of the officers of the Ma

garding the conservation congress
which will meet in the Twin Cities in
September:
Il regard this congress as possibly
the most important held in the United
States since the conference of gov.
ernors at the White House, May, 1908.
l expect that all nations of the world
will be represented, but few people
understand the real scope and purpose
of this great movement in which Mr..
Roosevelt will take an important part.
Not only will every nation of the
world be represented, but every state
of the union. 1t will be a gathering
of allied forces that are working for
the uplift Of the race. The congress
will represent one Of those historic
movements which appeal with ire
sistible force to the generous, open
minded and the patriotic as a duty
they W not only to present but to
future generations"
No reply had been received from a
cablegram sent to Mr.. Roosevelt, ask.
ing him if he would consent to advanc-
ing the date Of the congress beyond
state fair week. 1t is expected that a
reply will be received today, but until
it comes nothing definite can be stated
as to the date.
Messrs. Wheelock and Beck, of Min
nesota, had intended to start for home
yesterday, but they are detained until
Mr.. Roosevelt can be heard from, as
his reply may necessitate a change in
several details thus far tentatively
agreed upon.
