Bluftflelds, Nicaragua, via Colon, Dee. 20 Thecal Estrada will march on Managua with the full force of his -rebel army unless the Wited States intervenes to prevent the assumption of the presidency by Dr. Jose Madriz. Estrada today declared that reports received at his headquarters show that Zelaya Is hiding behind Madriz and the selection of the latter as his successor is but a part of a plot to hoodwink the nation and the outside world. "The fight for freedom in Nicara gua will continue if Madriz is made president," said Estrada today. "He is known to have given or ders to his subordinates, preparing them for the march to their capital. "On to Managua!" That has been the cry of the rebel forces for days, Today they are- on the verge of re ceiving marching orders. , Estrada today prepared a message to Washington, warning the state department- of the part Zelaya is play ing and demanding immediate action. "If the United States does not act, I will,, he says. According to the officials of the provisional government, Zelaya's one aim to distract attention from himself. i Reports received at the rebel head quarters from agents not only at Ma nagua but at points on the coast,-say that the demonstrations in favor of Madriz were prearranged and parried out-by cliques. The manifestants were ignorant of the real situation, and cheered wildly because they were told Madriz brought tidings of the complete downfall of Zelaya and the institution of a liberal regime. In every city on the CQast where Madriz has' hailed, the people were misled, it is declared. Madriz, in power, would be but an alias of Ze laya. The rebel headquarters were scenes of great activity and numer ous commands were sent out, to the military commanders and the Estra dan agents at other points. Including Managua.

(By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Dee 20 Colonel Rob ert J. Halre was retained today as he lawyer for Mrs. Caroline H. Mar tin, mother of Mrs. Ocey W. M.J Snead, the bath tub victim. He an nounced immediately that he would fight the efforts of the New Jersey authorities to extradite his client. The announcement was made just before Mrs. Martin and her sister, Mrs. Mary Snead, who have been in the Tombs prison for several days, were arraigned in the Tombs police court as fugitives from justice. War rants charging them with having killed Mrs. Snead are in the hands of the New Jersey authorities. Colonel Halre does not represent Mrs. Snead. Neither has he anything to do with Miss Virginia Wardlaw, sister of the two women, who is now in the Essex county, N.' J. jail. Their lawyer Is Attorney Franklin Fort, Jr., who intimates that Mrs. Martin Is insane. Colonel Halre disputes this. Prosecutor Mott, of Essex county. declared today that if Ocey Snead was not slain she was goaded into committing 4 ulclde. "These three women imbued Ocey Snead with the idea that the shadow of death was upon her, that her has band was dead and that she had,Jump "U,K "'"V. "a nothing to live for, he said. Then she was taken to a lonely unfurnish- ed house and afforded every oppor tunity to do away with herself.

NEW PRESIDENT OF BASEBALL LEAGUE (By Leased Wire to The Times) Now York. Dec. ,20 Thomas J. Lynch, the now president of the National Baseball League, is ready to of offlce tQ whjch !,ected aftor thp buter flght of fac. Hons among the National league mag nates but it was stated that he might not be Inaugurated until tomorrow. After his election lie wont to his New Britain, Conn., home. That Lynch, "King of the umpires," and for many years one of the most reliable authorities in the land, is go ing to take oft his coat and get down to work, is the declaration of his sup porters. He. himself says: "I am going to boss the league and not let it boss me." ! Ttoday the opinion was general tlit John T Brush of the New York club is on top of the heap as the result of the big ball fight. Lynch's election is looked on as a olear Brush victory but no one insinuates that Lynch will not prove a fair and quite unbiassed chief. Brush has long boon known as a baseball reformer. It wis he who a decade ago introduced the anti-profanity blacklist plank and other reform measures. In that campaign he had the support of Lynch, who was con sulted many times by the magnates in 1897 and '98. Lynch's strict , enforce ment of the reform rules as Umpire and his moral support of thorn when off the diamond did much to bring about the elevation of the diamond's tone.

Although it was announced that there no immediate danger, and the weather was calm, a rising sea was feared. Such a development would put the Corinthian in grave peril. The channel in which she was jam med on a slmal is but a, quarter of a mile wide, and the Hoot of tugs sent to her assistance worked under groat ditiK ulty.

Captain I'.ennie, to avoid losing time hy dropping a pilot that led to the acci dent, in a incisure. Just as the big steamer approached Georges Island, a schooner rounded into view at a good clip. There was only one way to avoid a collision and Captain Konnie swung his ship aground. The current caught her and although it was high tide, she stuck fast. Attempts to float her as she lay failed, and lighterage was decided on as the onlv course. The Corinthian, which was built ill IVHast in lStm, arrived here Saturday Com SL. John.

Panama, Dec. 20 Dispatches Just received say there was rioting In Managua all last night and that Nic aragua's capital was in a reign of error. The government made fran tic attempts to preserve peace, and the strong forces sent out to erery quarter of the capital gave the city a semblance of martial law The troops were ineffectual, however, to quell the disorder which has raged several days, though there was no actual battle. The demonstration was caused by the arrival of Dr. Jose Madriz, the choice of Zelaya as his successor. It was a threefold conflict, the support ers of Madriz, of Zelaya and of Gen eral Estrada, head of the provisional government, clashing. The action of the Mexican minister, who, on Madriz's arrival, accompanied him to his hotel, while Madriz was sur rounded by a bodyguard at .... fifty friends with drawn revolvers, added . to the anger of the antl-Madrlc manf lfestants today. ji The American consulate was en dangered by the popular outburst.
