.zELAYA CHARGED
WITH Staying
Z AMERICANS
To Answer for Ordering Execution
of GroCe and Cannon When
Extradted to Nicaragua.

MOBILE, ALA, Nov. 2s.--That the
japanese question and the machina-
tons of the now exiled Zelaya, once
dictator Of Nicaragua, were respon-
sible for the Staying of Lee Cannon
and Roy Groce. is the opinion Of
Major Migul Alvarez, Consul for Mic
aragua at Mobile. He believes that
Zelaya will be brought to answer for
the execution Of these two Americans
when taken back to Nicaragua.
Alvarez says Zelaya, in his chagrin
and rage at the United States balk-
ing his scheme to sell to Japan a
route for canal through Nicaragua,
executed Groce and Cannon as Amer
leans in retaliation, hoping to pro-
woke the United States Government.
Senior Alvarez says the men who
composed the alleged ''courtmartial'
trial held at FL Castillo, were order
ed by Zelaya to vote for death for
the two Americans.
A statement was made public aft
erwards at Bluefields by an officer
named Morales. who was a member
OF that tribunal that but for the or
der the two men would merely have
been held as prisoners.

 A procession was then formed and proceeded to the hotel where SenOr De La Barra is staying. After the crowd had serenaded the visitor, a committee composed of members of the Japanese parliament and other popular leaders mounted the balcony where the former provisional presi- dent of Mexico greeted them amid cheers lasting several minutes.
 The committee presented ,Senor De La Barra with a sword and other gifts which he acknowledged briefly and then called for cheers for the em- peror and the Japanese nation.

300 MASSACRED WHEN REBELS TAKE
 MEXICAN VILLAGE

Mexico City, Dec. 26-Horrible de- tails have been received here of a massacre by rebels after taking the town of Juchipila, in the State of Za- catecas. The federal garrison num- bered 400. Of these more than 300 were captured.
 The rebels tortured the prisoners, and dragged them to death through the streets. Some were horribly mu- tilated with knives and machetes All were killed and also some citizens.
 Many women were outraged and the town completely footed.
 Not only have the worst terrifying g atrocities been perpetrated upon the native inhabitants of Mexico, but on August g, of the present year, a list of 125 Americans murdered without cause in Mexico, was filed with the United States Embassy in Mexico
 Since that time numerous other Americans, Eng1ishmen and Germans have been murdered in Mexico, it is reported.
 Complete details of these barbara ties are now on file with the State de- partment in Washington.
 The Secretary of State has taken official cognizance of many of these outrages against Americans by filing formal protests with the Mexican au- thorities.
 The State Department, however, re- fuses to make public the complete list.

 The Americans there whose lives now are in danger, are the employees oE the United Sugar Company, which had a thriving business there before the revolutionary troubles began. All communication with Topo1obampo has been cut off since March 4, when the bridges the railroad into Arizona were blown up. At that time the Americans had 800 carloads of tona- York market. They had been able to ship their vegetables to American points and undersen the farmers here Two hundred cars were sent into Ar fzona before the bridges were blown up.; The remaining 300 carloads rot ted on the tracks and since that time the Americans have not been able to get any assistance.
 The formal appeal had not reached. the State Department today, but it is known that it is on the the way and the matter has been brought to the attention of the department by a rep resentatiVe of one of the interests there.
