BluefieldB, Nicaragua, May 23. The
Nicaraguan revolution Is belDg pro
longed In ; the hope . that . the United
States will Intervene. This admission
. . was made hare today by politicians who
; are close friends of Juan J. Estrada,
. provisional .president- and head, qf the
. revolutionary party. - '
"Estrada realises he can never crush
'the present goverhmeift or overthrow
. President Madrls but he'berteves he is
strong enough to keep up .'hostilities
: until the country will demand Ameri
can intervention said one of Estrada's
followers. "Estrada wants to force the
appointment of a president who is not
identified with either" faction now en
gaged in the struggle here, and believes
such an appointment is the only way
to secure permanent peace."
Campaign of Irritation. -'In
this hope Estrada is continuing
; hostilities. Although his forces are out
numbered by the Madrls, soldiers near
Rama, desultory fighting Is going on
and Estrada is directing his generals
to continue the engagement' : a
The provisional leader hopes either to
- continue the skirmishing until the Ma
drls forces fall back or to sting them
into an advance on Blueflelds, With
American marlrfes landed via the s city
and fighting in : the Streets forbidden
by ordec of the commander, of th gun
boat Paducah, an attack on the city it
self s would bring about intervention
more quickly than a long drawn ' out
campaign, Estrada believes, j , :
Madris too Wis to Start Trouble.
. . According to close friends here, "he
believes an attack upon, the city would
mean a clash wUit the American forces
Which would result. in intervention.
Although Madria has ehoWn some
disposition to disobey the orders from
the gunboat Paducah, and has instructed
'the Kunboat Venus -to bombard uiue
fields, it is tiot generally believed that
the order will be carried but Madriz,
. .it la declared, understands too well what
. the consequences would be, and so has
determined, according to reports, to car
ry on a campaign - to harass the city

- , Estrada WeU- Satisfied, ::
' For several days he has been within
trlklnff-dlstanee of Blueflelds, but ha
not made the final advance. v Unless
Blueflelds is captured the revolution
v cannot be ended. ;
i f Knowing the capture of hie capital la
" , necessary to end the revolution, Estrada
"ls not displeased with the situation, it
la declared. The Mrdris army will soon
be' worn out by the ionsr campaign if
St continues to threaten the city, while
an attack on Blueflelds itself will mean
almost, centain Intervention. As long
as .the American warships hover about
t6 repel any attack of the Madrl forces.
and prevent sacklng'of the city, Estrada
Has the game pretty wen in n own

Received by Rough Riders'
Leader in Spanish War.
May's Landing, N. J., May 23 The
case of William Seyler, charged with
the murder of Jane Adams, whose body
was found February 13 on the seashore
at Atlantic City, came up for trial here
today.- Thla is tho case which attracted
more than ordinary interest owing' to
ths fact that the efforts of the police
to extort a confession from the dpferid
ant, led to a discussion of the "Third
degree" methods in the United States
senate and to a demand for an investi
gation of the subject , v v S
On the evening of February 4 of this
year, Miss Adams, the victim in the
case, with her sister Alice and Arvis
Seyler left their home on Missouri ave
nue, Atlantic City, and went to Young's
newpier,. at the foot of Arkansas ave
nue. On the way they met . ; William
Seyler, the defendant, by appointment
William is 28 years old and has a wife
and two little children in Atlantic City.
His, brother is 18 years of age. ? Jane,
was 18 and her sister Alice only 14. The
two couples spent the evening on the
pier. After several hours the younger
couple returned home, leaving Jane
Adams and William Seyler on the ocean
end of the pier. ' . -
When Jane failed, to return . - that
night, her mother began-a search for
her. She found; William Seyler at his
hotqp, 'but. hej gave t no satisfactory ex
planation of Jane's whereabouts. Th.e
following day, William' Seyler ' left his
home for parts unknown and a few days
later his brother Arvis also disappeared.
Themother of the girl, believing that
her daughter , had eloped With the elder
Seyler, notified' the police and! the au
thorities were trying1 to locate the
couple, .; when the body of Jane , was
found on the bea6h at Atlantic City. x
An examination of the body showed a
deep gash over the left eye Of the dead
girl which led thecpplice to believe that
the girl had been murdered. The" cor
oner's physician was oft the opinion
that the death of the glVl had been
caused by the injury to her head, but
there was -nothing to indicate in what
manner the, injury had- been. . caused.
Chief of Detectives Whalen made . a
careful Investigation and; succeeded, Jh
tracing the Seyler brothers to WJlmlng
tonj pel,, and from there to Petersburg,
Va. There the two brothers were ar
rested two weeks after' the disappear
ance of Jane Adams.-! They waived ex
tradition proceedings " and voluntarily
returned to Atlantic City in charge of
the two detectives who had caused their
arrest.- ;- f - sr; ". :
Both brothers, . particularly ' William
Seyler, , were submitted ; to ': a rigor ou
examination, ' known .' as the "third de
gree," In the : hope : of : extorting., from
them some confession or trapping them
so as to make damaging " admissions,
but both brothers stuck to their story.
The older Seyler adhered to ths state
ment that Miss Adams accidentally fell
Into the sea at a place where the rail
ing on the pier was broken, that he tried
to save her, but failed. Being afraid
that he would be held to account for
the death of tho girl, tha prisoner as
serted, hef led to Virginia, followed by
his brother, who .did not wish to be
drawn into the case, , -fi-
