nor will ii consent to mediate unless
requested to do so by both parties So
far no request for either intervention
or mediation by this government has
been received at the State Department
from either Madriz or Estrada. 1t is
generally expected. however. that the
revolutionary leader will ask this gov
eminent to take steps fog the protection
of the Americans at BIuefields and vi
entity. whose safety and property are
said TO be in jeopardy. because of their
alleged participation in the revolutionary
movement The officials of the State
Department are awaiting with keen in
terest reliable information regarding de-
velopments in Nicaragua. The propo-
Sition to divide Nicaragua into two re-
publics, with Estrada at the head of one,
does not commend itself to the admins

to this country for twelve years and who
for some months past has been represent

sized smile of satisfaction, which he ad-
mitted was due to the news which has
come from Nicaragua during the last two
days.
The suggestion contained in dispatches
from BluefeldS that the reyOlutioniStS
were thinking of making an independent
state out of the eastern part of the cOun-
try Senior Corea dismissed with scorn.
st would be Ridiculous he said, Ito
think of dividing one small country when

eminent" he continued. is the triumph
of the liberal party. After Zelaya left
the country there was nothing left as a
pretext to fight for. and the strife that
has been going on has been really be-
tween the conservatives. representing the
old ideas and the liberals, of whom Pres
ident Madriz is the head, and who believe
that Nicaragua has to move with the rest
of the world.

gents was their failure to lay down arms
when Zelaya left. Madriz was the most
competent and able man in the republic
when IT came to giving the best possible
administration in accordance with the
constitution and the law. Had the insur-
gents submitted when he was made presi-
