Side Lights on the Man Who Had

By JAMES A. EDCERTON.
Jose Santos Zelaya president of Ni-

maker of Central America. It may turn
out that when be had two American
eitiaeus shot without proper trial be
made mischief once too often. As an
ordinary thing your Uncle Samuel does
not grow highly excited over these
Latin American revolutions but when

TT Josb Santos zelaja.
the same high handed manner he does
bis own subjects it is time to put the
fear of God into his heart.
Zelaya has been lird high boss of
Nicaragua for sixteen years. That is
not the official name for his job but is
tuore nearly descriptive of it than bis
official title. To be precise be is
known as president and is supposed to
be elected every four years. But to be
truthful which is mora important at
least outside of diplomatic circles he
put himself in by bayonets and has
maintained his power by bullets. True
the forms of an election have been
gone through at stipulated times but
there was no opposition for the reason
that if anybody else had dared to be
a candidate Zelaya would have had
him taken out and shot.
During much of the time he has been
in office Zelaya has been engaged in
putting down revolutions or in fight
ing some of the other Central Ameri-
can republics. He was putting down
one of these annual uprisings or try
ing to do so at the time he got gay
with the two Americans Leroy Can
non and Leonard Groce and bad them
shot one morning before breakfast. It
is hard to tell why all these Latin
American executions occur before
breakfast. Possibly it is for the pur
pose of giving the executioners an ap
petite.
How the Trouble Begins.
The ordinal number of the present
Nlcaraguan revolution Is not kuown.
It may be the seventeenth or the sixty-
fourth but anyway it is something
high. When the band plays at an unu-
sual time down there it is usually the
signal for a new revolt. Somebody
wants to be president and inasmuch
as he will be shot if he goes about it
In a peaceful way he tiles to shoot
first.
This uprising was started by the Es-
trada family which has furnished
some of Zelaya's chief officials. There
were five of the Estrada brothers but
one of them Is now dead. The young-
est of the five Juan Kstrada is the
leader of the movement and prospec-
tive president. The two Americans
Cannon and Groce who were large
property owners in Nicaragua and else-
where in Central America joined the
Estrada standard and one of them
was placed on the commander's staff.
Zulaya surprised the insurgent army
by crossing into Costa Rica and at
tacking It aud the two Americans
were captured among others. Instead
of being treated as prisoners of war
they were summarily executed. It Is
this which has caused the rushing of
American gunboats to Nlcaraguan wa-
ters and which occasioned the sharp
note from Secretary Knox stating that
the United States would not for one
minute tolerate -such action. The exe-
cution of prisoners unless they are
spies is contrary to international law
aud opposed to civilized warfare.
Zelaya a Chronio Disturber.
This Is not th i5rt trouble we have
had with Zelaya but on former occa-
sions he has evaded giving satisfac-
tion on the pretense that the American
demands were aggressions. From weU
authenticated reports that have come
from his dominions he has revived the
terrors of the Spanish Inquisition and
has tried to make of himself a cheap
composite of Torquemada. the Duke
of Alva and Ciprhuio Cnstro. Zelaya
Is better educated than Castro being
the son of a planter and having re-
ceived Bia schooling In Paris. After

his return to bis own country be wa
one of the young bloods and declaimed
so violently against the government
that be was banished and joined Pres-
ident Barrios of Guatemala whose
dream was to become head of ail the
Central American republics an ambi-
tion that Zelaya himself afterward en-
tertained. The young soldier became
a member of Barrios' staff and follow-
ed him to his death. Zelaya then re-
turned to his own country led a revo-
lution and landed in the president's
chair. '
Nicaragua is about the size of New
England and. has less than a half
million Inhabitants most of whom are
Indians. In the old days it was called
Mohammed's paradise but if the fol-
lowers of the prophet were to see it
they would forswear their religion.
Nicaragua has no roads and in the In-
terior Is as primitive as in the days
of Columbus. The principal Industries
are raising revolutions and avoiding
f work. Zelaya has added one other oc-
fupation to those two that of paying
taxes. He is a great money maker and
has amassed a private fortune of mil-
lions. He Is brave however nai
shown some military ability and made
of bis army something more than the
joke it is in some Latin American
countries.
