NOT GIVING AID TO D|Az
But Moral Influence of United
States Is Behind President
of Nicaragua.

While the moral influence of the United
States government undoubtedly is be-
hind President Diaz OF Nicaragua in his
effort to maintain an orderly form OF
government until the people shall have
an opportunity next October In free
and fair election to select another presl'
dent. 1t is positively denied that any In
structions have been given to the Amer
lean legation to demand the dismissal of
Gen. Mena. the minister of war, or to back
UP any request from President Diaz that
he relinquish to the president the arms
and military supplies now under his con-
troll as an official Of the government. 1t
is admitted that the United States gum
boat Annapolis Is at San Jose de Guate-
mala, only two days sail from Corinto,
and that her commander undoubtedly
would hasten to that port at the first
sign Of a revolutionary disturbance.
1t Is positively denied. however, that the
vessel would take any part in the fac
tiOnal troubles in Nicaragua unless some
attempt were made to break the Dawson
convention. which directly binds all par
ties not to attempt to Lsurp the presi-
dency or government Of Nicaragua, but
to accept loyalty the choice Of the people
as indicated in free ballot.

fair way to promote a fight with the reg
ulars, If they do not succeed in getting
up a row within their own ranks The
situation is just this: The Wilson lead
ers regard the reorganization" as nebu-
lous: the reorganization" regards itself as
supreme. The regulars are disposed to
rest on their oars and let the progress
sives thrash it out to suit themselves.
They feel that they have the key to the
situation. and that they will run the
show after the progressives get through
with the little fight now starting among
the big chiefs Of the Wilson bandwagon.
The organization as a whole is not at
all disposed to roll up its sleeves and
work its head off for the man who
knocked out Champ Clark in the battle
Of ballots at the convention. They feel
that there's nothin' in it, for them If
Wilson does pull up at the White House.
AS one of the "b'hoys" remarked to The
Star correspondent today, mo fruit will
fall our way when they shake the plum
tree. and We won't get a look in at the
small-fry pie counter
And in that terse summary is given
concrete example of the attitude Of the
big and little party leaders who control
the votes on election day.

DUKE CLAIMS GOLD CUP.
Was Presented to Capt. Guest as
Best Knight in Jousting.

Special Cablegram to The Star
LONDON, July 2O.-The Duke Of Marl-
borough has claimed the gold cup that
was presented to Capt. Guest as the best
knight in jousting at the Elizabethan
tourney last week. The duke claims Ii
on the ground Capt. Guest, who had sud
denly taken the place of his brother
Lord Ashby st. Ledgers, had been an
nounced as Lord Ashby st. Ledgers and
was therefore wrongly announced and
should be disqualified. The dukes claim
may be sound enough, but it smacks
rather of methods in professional ath-
letics than In the knightly courtesies OF
the tourney.
There is some talk of repeating the
tourney at an early date at more reason
able prices. despite the official statements
that last weeks performance did not pay
its way. There Is also a plan afoot for q
tourney to be given in Berlin and New
York by local brave knights and fair
ladies'.

pei the resignation of Minister Of War Luis
Mena, lack confirmation here. A similar
report was published a month ago In the
daily papers Of Grenada, Nicaragua, and
subsequently denied.
Relations between President Diaz and
Gen. Mena. II Is said. have been any
thing but friendly for several months
Last year Mena forced his election by
the constitutional assembly as president
OF the republic for the term beginning
January l. 1913. and by this act incurred
displeasure not only among leaders OF
his own party. but in official circles, too.
Representations are said to have been
made by Washington that this govern
ment would insist upon the observance OF
the Dawson agreement. which clearly
provided for a popular and free presiden-
tial election this fall.
1t is generally believed here that a revo-
luton will break out I'm Nicaragua within
the next few months. Economic condi-
tions in the country are admitted to be
deplorable and the unrest of the people
is growing alarming.

feeling prevails that the third party folks

grand old party on election day"
In the democratic camp the progressives
are in a quandry as to what voice the
regulars shall be given in the manage
ment Of the campaign for Woodrow VIII
son in Maryland, and especially in Balti-
more city. Some of the original wilson
ties favor leaving the old guard leaders
at the helm, while others are insistent
that none but tried and true progressves
be placed in charge.
For instance, w. Cabell Bruce and Will
liam L. Wilson hold to the idea that the
regular organization, as the duly author
ICED agent of the party. should assume
the burden of the campaign. and that the
progress;ves should form q cooperative
force to give whatever assistance might
be regarded as necessary. Then along
comes William L. Marbury with the sug-
sestion that State Senator Blair Lee
Of Montgomery county be named to lead
the fight for Wilson and Marshall, and
Mr.. Lee has indicated coy willingness
to shoulder the task II his services are
In demand
At the present writing the destinies OF
the party are lodged in the safe keeping
of Gen. Murray Vandiver. state chair
man, and Daniel j. Loden, city chair
man, and il the Marbury plan is car

fighters will be sent to the scrap heap.
