of the people of Nicaragua. I con-
gratulate you upon your assumption of
the presidency by popular mandate
ultimately^ expected throughout th»
assembly recently elected, and T'In-
sure you, and through you the gov-
ernment and people of Nicaragua, of
the sincere sympathy and friendship!
of the government and people of the
United States in the work of regener-
ation, which we hope will be success-
ful. I add my wishes for your own
personal welfare.

trada has issued a decree granting gen-:
eral amnesty to all political prisoners.,
On the election of general Estrada!
to the presidency the members of con*]
gress rose to their feet and shout-i
ed, “Long live Estrada.”
In his inaugural address he promis-]
ed that the laws would be adopted for]
the good of all and in accordance with
the proper guarantees. It is probable
that in some respects the constitution

demands for reforms and that new

gress and Salvador© Cardenas vice-;
roy. The consular representatives,:

SEVEN TAKEN ALIVE FROM SLAS PILE
Two Dead Bodies Recovered and Four
Missing—Houses Made Un-
inhabitable.
El Paso.—As a result of the explo-
sion Wednesday of 3,750 pounds of
powder in a tunnel driven under the
mountain of slag at the El Paso smel-
ter by the El Paso & Southwestern1
Railroad, six men were killed and sev-,
en injured. All were buried in the
tunnels and the work of rescue was
begun at once.
The last of the living was rescued
on Thursday. There are four dead!
whose bodies have not yet been re-J
covered. There were four tunnels;
each thirty-five feet long an each load-j
ed with 150 kegs of powder weighing]
twenty-five pounds each, and a stick'
of dynamite.
The explosion occurred in tunnel
No. 2 and caused Nos. 1 and 3 to cave
in, hut had no effect on No. 4. The
rescue work was all the more hazard-
ous because charges remained unex-
ploded in Nos. 3, 3 and 4. Fully on®
hundred persons were more or less
hurt by the flying fragments and thir-
ty-two houses were rendered uninhab-
itable. The explosion was undoubted-
ly caused by a match or a cigarette.
Efforts of the rescuers at the slag
dump of the El Paso smelter were di-
rected toward the release of Eusivo
Aguillar, the only living man remain-
ing in the slag heap. Aguillar had
been pinned under a mass of the slag
for nearly fifteen hours.
