Two Americans who were caught serving with tho revolutionary forces,' were executed by President Zolaya, of Nicaragua, despite a . consular appeal for" commutation of the sen- , tence. Tho executed Americans were charged with : placing dynamite mines and attempting to, explodo them under steamers laden with Govern- ' ment troops at Groytown, Nicaragua.

Aβ a result of this private understanding, which has not ■ boon placed on paper, it is said that - tho ■ United States has consented to Mexico nnnex- ■ ing Guatemala and Honduras, and Mexico has in turn giv«n hor assent to the aniioxabon of Nicaragua nnd Salvador by. tho United Statoe.
