Consequently the rescue of (>hloj

that now confronts the Republican

a presiddctnl possibility, according
to the Republican leaders. ,
As a sidelight on this problem. It
may be noted that Jf Harmon Is to

hope a Democrat will also be elected
in New York, on the principle that
the more presidential possibilities the
Democrats have, the greater will b$
the chances for a fine old Democratic

Washington, July 17.? President

American citizens in Nicaragua and is
moving for the adoption of sterner
methods with the Central American
republic.
The appeals made to him by rela

man held In prison in Managua by
Madriz, and half starved, led to a

to relieve Plttman.

prisoner by the Madria forces. Dr.
Burgheim is asld to have been sani

was captured and forced by Madrls to
treat the wounded of his army.
There Is perplexity over the Pltt
man case. As a prisoner of war he
may be held by the Madriz forces but
the Nlcaraguan government has no
right to Inflict unnecessary hardships
or cruelties on him. To prevent this
the depsrtment will Interfere.
There Is a report here that the
State Depsrtment Is preparing to is
sue to the world a statement justify

speedily bettered. Among these rea
sons are:
The gunboat Venus was released,
after being held up at New Orleans
on false statements by the Madrli
government. The bombardment of
