FROM Inc iIlDNlt Nhlfhusl
Washington, oct. Authorization that
the Nicaraguan government has issued a
decree setting Saturday, November 2, FOR
the free election Of a President and Vice
President reached the Department Of
State to-day. There are no present in
tentions OF the government exercising a
supervisory hand over the election, but
should conditions develop warrantinS
such action II will be taken. 1t is ex-
pected that the next ten days will deter
mine the policy OF the United States in
this respect.
CoincIdent with the announcement Of
the election date, a dispatch was received
by the State Department saying that
President Diaz has been informed by a
committee Of prominent citizens from

marines, provided by the Nicaraguan gov
eminent, left La Paz for Matagalpa on
Saturday, TO investigate conditions and

CAPTURE OF SCUTARI
BELIEVED INEVITABLE
American Business Man, Lately

London, Oct. PA prominent
American business man and former
government official who has just re-

sudden aggressive tactics Of Monte

country as we'll as their own noun

having their communications cut.
Although the Montenegrins had
been planning the war for three years
the outbreak was premature-not a de-
liberate part Of the plan OF the Balkan
league. The Montenegrins were con-
centrated on the border. Each soldier
had three days rations. At the end Of
that time even King Nicholas was
powerless to hold them in the leash.
1.-THE Montenegrin soldiers are well
armed and equipped. They are splen-
did fighters. The only question Is
how well they can stand discipline.
having been accustomed only to guer-
lila warfare.
ION leaving Cettinje l visited the
northern division Of the Montenegrin
army, whose general told me that he
expected to form a junction with a
Servian column. The combined armies
would then proceed TO fight their way
through Macedonia and form a juno
ton with the Greeks between Uskub
and Monastir. They expected by this
movement to hold large bodies Of
Turkish trops from going to the relief
OF Adrlanople. where a big battle is
planned.
81 found every evidence that the Bal
kan league was working in perfect
harmony, but the Montenegrin and
Servian officials, believing that the
powers will permit only one or two i'm
portant battles before they intervene,
are already figuring on a convention
similar to that at Berlin. Balkan Dip
lomats have confessed that the ar
rangement of peace between Italy and
Turkey was such blow TO their plans
that, had the note Of the powers been
presented a week before the concen-
tration on the Montenegrin border, war
very likely would have been averted.

even its founders by its solidarity, was
formed so secretly that no European
