Follow Zelaya's Example.

Washington Feb. 25.-There IS no danger
of the Estrada administration in Nicaragua
following N the footsteps Of Zelaya in
ruthlessly killing prisoners. The state De
rartment has had this assurance from Es-
trada's Minister Of Foreign Affairs, through
Minister Northcott. Nlr. Northcott had been
instructed 10 inquire into the truth OF
story that Rudolfo Espinosa. formerly
Nicaraguan Minister for Foreign Affairs
and the last OF the ministers accredited 70
Washington by Zelaya, was in danger OF
being executed because Of his alleged i'm
plication in a plot 20 blow up the arsenal
in Alanaeua. That report came 20 the
State Department from the Granf Lodge Of
Nasons in Costa Rica.
Nr Northcott reported that, while Es-
pinosa was imnrisone1. pending an investi-
cation Of ;ho explosion Of the government
arsenal, he had been assured by the Min
ister for Fo.eign Ans,rs that, even II con-
victed. Eslinosa would not be executed.

Paris, Feb. 25.--"Solea," a lyric drama
in four acts. the music composed by
Isidore de Lara and the verse written by
Jean Richepin, produced this afternoon
at the Theatre des Arts at Rouen, is a
pleasing and successful romantic opera
and is by far the best Of De Lara's musl-
cal works. There are several strong
dramatic situations end the orchestra
tion is at times poignant and emotional
The action passes at the Island OF
Rhodes in the middle Of the sixteenth
century. when the Christian knights
we're conquered by the Turks and the
island fortress was captured The hero
inc. Soloa. and Lioncel, the hero IN this
lyric romance are characters whose func-
tions are not unlike those Of Kundry and
Parsifal in the legend Of The Graal.
De Lara's music and Richepin's dra-
matte poem received the enthusiastic ap-
plause of the Partisan critics and Of the
Rouen public.

Livingston.

immense body of fresh water, 81 miles long
and having shore line of 70 miles, Is dotted
with numerous islands. On the largest Of
