Ml ESCAPES FROM NICARAGUA EO MEXICO,
UNITED STATES PERMITTING SIS DEPARTURE
Washingtc/i Government
Refrained From Inter
ference on Promise That
Former President Would
Go Into Perpetual Exile.
(Special Cable to American News Ser
vice.)
CORINTO. —A great sensation was
caused here today when It was learned
that Zelaya had escaped on the Mexioan
gunboat Guerrero. When Zelaya arrived
here yesterday afternoon he had a long
secret Interview with the Mexican min
lstr, at which arrangements were made
for him to take flight on the Mexican
ship. The United States ship Buffalo,
with 700 marines aboard, is still here,
but as far as Is known, the officers of
the ship made no attempt to prevent
Zelaya’s flight. Americans here are anx
iously awaiting word from Washington
cs to the stand the Americans will take
In Mexico aiding Zelaya to escape.
(By the Associated Press.)
MEXICO Caa f. —Jose Santos Zelaya,
as a private citizen, asked and was
granted an asylum aboard the Mexican
gunboat Genera! Guerrero, according to
the officials of the department of foreign
relations here tonight. Knowledge of
his ultimate destination or of his plans
for the immediate future was denied.
(By American News Service.)
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The United
States has compromised with its orig
inal attitude toward former President
Zelaya of Nicaragua.
Tl news was general today In the de
part Ints that this government had pur
flight of Zelaya from the anger of his
own people and that this compromise
was based on the assurance from Mex
ico and Nicaragua that Zelaya would go
Into perpetual exile.
So far as it Is known here. Zelaya’**
Intention wss to start for Europe as
soon as possible after reaching Mexican
soli. He naturally prefers not to leave
by the Panama route. The hope of this
government when It Issued Its fulml nation
THE SUNDAY HERALD
against Zelaya was that the revolutionary
party would in short order, on the
strength of the moral support of a squad
ron of United States ships and 700 mu
rines, obtain control of the government
and of the person of Zelaya.
Had this plan been successful it was
known to the United States that the Es
trada party would be just as anxious to
punish Zelaya for his crimes against
the revolutionists as the United States
was for his crimes against Groce and
Cannon. At the time of the sending of
the Knox note the revolutionists seem\to
have little chance of success and It
became a question of expediency for the
United States to connive at the banish
ment of Zelaya until such time as the
Estrada party obtained control, or the
new government of Madriz could give
guarantees of peace.
It Is understood now that the United
Stales government will ask, m due time,
for a new election In Nicaragua in order
that the will of the people may be ascer
tained. There Is no intention, however,
of abandoning the revolutionary party
as long os there Is a chance of Its suc
cess, and there is no reason now to as
sume that It will not be successful.
Wltfh the question of the personal
punishment of Zelaya out of the way, tho
United States will resume the question of
reparation to be made for the deaths of
Groce and Cannon and for thf» liquidation
of the emery claim.

ya will make his way to Belgium, es
caping punishment for the killing of
Cannon and Groce, American citizens
will be discussed In the senate when
congress reconvenes.
Senator Raynor, of Maryland, hai»
a resolution before the senate com
mittee on foreign relations providing
for the apprehension and punishment
of Zelaya. Critics of the administra
tion in its failure to bring about the
punishment of Zelaya will endeavor to
bring out this reason. On this effort
opportunity will be afforded for a dis
cussion of the courße of Secretary
Knox with reference to Zelaya and
the Nicaraguan situation. Senator
Raynor would not comment on the
matter today. It is known, how
ever, that he is unwilling to let the
matter rest where it is. He wants
Zelaya punished. Some other sena
tors take like positions and are ex
pected to indorse Senator Raynor's
position. There is a disposition to
criticise Secretary Knox for permitt
ing Zelaya to leave Nicaragua if Ze
laya has made good his escape.
It is believed to have been the wish
of the state department that Zelaya ]
should have fallen into the hands of j
Gen. Estrada and his adherents.
While Zelaya might not have been tried
by the Nicaraguans for the killing of j
the Americans, it is believed other ’
charges would have been laid against
him. the punishment for which, ir
proven would have been sufficiently j
grave to have satisfied the United i
States. There is doubt at the state
department as to whether tills country'’
could have insisted upon the trial of
the deposed ruler for the killing of
Cannon and Groce. The, fact that!
Zelaya was permitted to leave Nica
ragua indicates that Secretary Knox
has come to the conclusion that the
United States could not insist on the
trial or prevent his escape from th<
country he has ruled so tyrannically.

SNOW STORM
SWEPT OVER
■FEWEST
Train Service Crippled by
General Storm From
Ohio to Atlantic Sea
board.
CHICAGO. —The worst snow storm
of the year was the Christinas gift
of the elements to the middle West.
In lavish generosity It was excelled
only this evening when a slushy blan
ket six Inches thick covered Chicago
streets.
From the Missouri river east to the
Atlantic the country was In the grasp
of the storm. With railroad schedules
practically abandoned passenger trains
on all lines were from 6 to 10 hours
behind time. Street railway service
was almost at a standstill. A cold
wave dogging behind the blizzard
made itself felt toward night. Fair
and much colder weather Is predicted
for tomorrow.
The snow brought to many unem
ployed men the opportunity to earn a
Christmas dinner and a little more be
sides.
Many a poor fellow who had trav
eled far in the expectation If passing
Christmas in a happy reunion with
friends or relatives, spent the day In
stead watching the miles of snow
bound farms and forests glide slowly
past his car window. Some of the
wayfarers on trains arriving ten hours
late were in 111-humor. Others said
they and their fellow passengers bad
much shift to pass a fairly merry
Christmas among themselves while
the locomotives battled with the drifts.
