ZELAYA RESION8,
Soya Tate Wm Against Mm Successor
Not Chosen,
Managua, Dec. 17. Joso Santos Y.o
lays has resigned from tho presidency
of Nicaragua, die placed hi reslgnn
tton In tho hands of cougre. jester
day.
Apparently thero was no other course
to take. Tho peoplo wore aroused at
last. Tho guns of tho revolutionists
threatened. Tho warships of tho United
States lay in Nlearnguan port.
Managua haa been seething for days.
Tho spirit of revolt ha spread even to
tho gates of the palace. Zelaya has
surrounded himself with an armed
guard. Unchecked tho populace has
mnrched through tho streets, crying for
tho end of the old and proclaiming the
new regime.
Who will tako up the reins no one
knows or cares. It Is sufficient thnt
Zelaya as dictator will bo known no
more. Thero Is no doubt that cougre
will act quickly on his resignation, for
tho people havo demanded It.
Dr. Joio Madrlx, judge of tho Cen
tral American court of justice at Car
tago, who has been clow to Zelaya, nnd
Is now his choice for president, is on
his way here. Ho will arrive on Sat
urday. Madrlx haa his following,
strong and Influential, even among the
revolutionists, but Qencral Kstradn, un
der whoso command the body of fight
ing insurgents now faces Vnsque'
troops at Rama, will havo none of him.
Kstrada't word will bear weight in
tho choice of president.
Zelava has known, too, that Madrlx
is not 'acceptable to tho United States,
and ho has sought to lern who would
bo looked upon with favor by that
government as bis successor, but the
American government, so far as can be
learned, has named no man, and tho
choico probably will Ho with those who
have gained the upper hand.

torcr was present all day. Tho king
had been able to take nourishment.
The pnblie at large was satisfied that
tbo king would recover, but within the
pavilion where the king lay, anxiety
was felt, chiefly becauso of Leopold's
great age. After a restful day the
patient was able to sleep for a. brief
period cany in too evening nu mo
night passed quietly.
Tho king's coolness and courage In
the heroic struggle won tbo admira
tion of all, for at no time did he seem
to fear the result. Now that ho Is
dead it is considered remarkable he
was able to survive so long by the
force of his mentality.

walls of the royal garden, bis pale
face startled tho newspaper correspond
ents outside. Ho paused for a moment
and said solmnly, ''The king is dead."
