government's explanation.
Their Probable Offense.
It Is assumed here that lute press
dispatches from MunaRiia are accu
rate in the statement that the men
were executed after the court martial
charge of attempting to use dynamite
mines In the attempt to blow up some
of Zalaya's transports, and should the
department advices confirm the story,
then the question will be whether the
charge Justified the execution. Proba
bly everything depends upon the
methods pursued by Cannon and
(race In attacking Zalaya's forees. If
it should nppear that the Americans
dipped within the government forces'
lines, disguised, and planted the mines,
they might be regarded as spies, sub
ject to summary execution. Hut, If
working openly, it will probably be
held that they should have been treat
el as prisoners of war on the theory
that the attack upon the ship by the
mine was a legitimate act of lawful
war,,. In the latex eas thins is no
doubt but Kelaym will be railed to ac
count and ample reparation demanded.
Nicaraguan legation officials profess
to know nothing regarding the exe
cution. ,
Indications point to the recognition
by the United States government of
the belligerency of the revolutionist's
government In Nicaragua under Gen
eral Kstrada. A public declaration to
that effect is expected In the near fu
ture. At the present moment the In
surgent forces are In control of at
least half of tho NIcaraRiian territory,
and have possession of the Atlantic
coast, Greyton.
The warships dispatched to Nlrara-
guan ports are expected to arrive at
their destination today, and wireless
from them are hourly expected. Dr.
Hnxera. Nlcaraguan minister-designate,
this morning received a state de
partment note demanding from the
Zelayan government an explanation
for the execution of Cnnnon nnd
Grace.
The legation admitted that a "report
of the Incident" had been received.
Kffcctive Blockade.
Hlue-Flelda, Nicaragua. Nov. 19.
Tho blockade at Greyton remains ef
fective, the rebels strengthening their
position continually. It la reported
that a large number of SSelaya's
troops are deserting. The fear of a
reb-1 Invasion of the Interior has in
fluenced Zelaya to mobilise his forces
there. There la no likelihood of a
movement against the eastern const.
The CtulHer le MoIiicm.
Colon, Panama, Nov. 19. The
United States cruiser Des Moines, dls
patched at top speed to the Nicara
guan coast as soon as the execution of
the two Americans reached the state
department, at Washington, sailed
from Port IJmon, Costa Hlco, yester
day, presumably en route to Illue
Fields, Nicaragua.
A Itelgn of Terror.
New Orleans, Nov. li. A cnble to
The Plcayuno from Panama says:
Passenntr arriving from Nicaragua
report that reign of terror exists
throughout the portion of that coun
try controlled by President Z-lays.
Government troops are rounding up
cr remarks to W cherry of lluther- j
ford college: and the only evidence Ik
hers and his, which conflict. I
Home Thlngx In evidence. j
Tho heplnnliiK of this case was in '
June, litOK, which was the time tln
offense, If offense, was committed, and I
there was nothing said, so far in
known of the matter in any way, un- ;
til October of that year, when II came!
to tho ear of Mr. Sherrlll for the first!
time; nnd taking a witness, a brother!
preacher, with him hi-called upon tlo j
lady In the case and asked fur a state-.
ment, telling what was being circulat-1
od. To this it is said she would make,
no chnrge whatever, rather charging!
Mr. Sherrlll s family with Inattention '
.A !.,. on , - u fht 11,,. rn,iu,,n i
that she would not charge him then
to his face was that the witness pres
ent was a single man, and she would
not discuss tho matter In the presence
of the young man.
Considered Last Year.
, When conference convened last
year at Ashevlllo, the matter wan
open for a charge, but the preuchera
on Mr. Sherrill's district had a meet
ing and heard a pin in statement of
his side of the case, and signed a
paper agreeing to allow the matter to
go unnoticed; hII tho preachers sign
ed this savo one, who was a kinsman
of the lady, whom, it seems, was not
satislled with tho result of the called
meeting, and wrote to the lady for a
latement of tho case, and he with
others have taken her reply to that
letter, iu which she wrote charges,
end have built up the case from it to
the point of Mr. fiherrlll'a demanding
un investigation at the hands of the
conference, im Indicated ubove.
As hearil from the out side, before
the committee ha. had time to get
the witnesses and decide If the case
needs a trial, it runs substantially as
follows: There was a social gather
ing at the home of tin- presiding el
der, Hev. C. Sherrlll. at lluther
ford college, which was attended by
the complainant, Mrs. Cherry, and
her two grown daughters. She tlrlrg
