WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 19.
No word has yot been received from
President Zelaya of Nienragua in
connection with the executions of the
two Americans, Leroy Cannon and
Leonard Grace, yesterday, in reply
to the state department's peremptory
demand for an explanation.
It is momentarily expected that
news of a fresh outbreak of the reign
of terror in Nicaragua, worse than
tho one now prevailing, will he re

According to the reports cominj;
from the so-called republic, medieval
tortures niul horrible cruelties are
daily occurrences in tho towns over
which Zelaya and hi troops still hold

It is believed here that Zelaya will
make one lust desperate struggle
against provisional President Kn
traila, following tho receipt of tho

revolutionists.
