KNOX NOTE A SENSATION ULTIMATUM TO NICARAGUA FROM UNCLE SAM IS STINGER. ZELAYA IS HELD FOR DEATHS The Vigorous Warning Issued by Sec retary of State Knox , That Contra ! America MUst Behave and 'Live In Peace , Is Regarded Epochal , Washington , Dec. 2. There Is re jolclng today In the ranks of the Nicaragua Insurrectionary party and gloom among those who have been friends of President Zelayn over the ultimatum handed down yesterday by the United States to the Nlcaragun government In the note which aucom panlcd the passports delivered bj Secretary of State Knox to Felipe Rodriguez , charge dc affairs of the Nlcnraguan legation. The strength of the note and lit personal tone are the subjects of com ment In diplomatic circles. Uncle Sam Takes a Stand. It Is generally recognized that the United States has decided the time has come to put an end to further at tacks on American life and Interest ! : In Central America. The far-reaching effect of the note la a matter of especial comment. The fact that President Zelaya Is nppar- cntly to be held responsible for the shooting of the Americans , Grace anil Cannon , and that the note intimates that Zolaya Is the culprit , adds a sting to the matter. Central America Must Behave. Concealed in the vigorous note die toted by Secretary Knox Is seen r warning to the Central . .merlcan re publics that they must behave and conduct themselves as honorable re publics In the western hemisphere This and the direct announcement that the United States Intends to see that the family of western republics lives harmoniously Is believed by dl plomats to be epochal. The Knox document is one of tbc most scathing issued from the state department In late years. Returns Passports of Zclaya's Man. Secretary of State Knox late yester day returned the passports of Felipe Rodriguez , charge do affairs of the Nlcaraguan legation , with a lettei scathingly denouncing the Zelayan ad ministration of the government'of Nlc aragua. The letter is definitely declared clared to represent the views of Presl dent Taft , and is about as plain spoker as anything emanating from the state department In many years. Brands Zelaya as Tyrant. The extraordinary feature of the letter tor is that it seems to evidence an ni tention on the part of the Unitee States to hold Zolaya personally re sponslblo for the alleged torture ant execution of the Americans , Canner and Groce , and exhibits the unique sit nation of one government holding tlu chief executive of another practlcallj as a common malefactor. Zelaya Is branded as a violator of solemn inter national convents , a disturber of na tlonal and international peace , a ty rant whose administration has been r blot on the name of good government Recognizes Rebels. Secretary Knox virtually announce ! the recognition of the Nlcaraguan rev olutlontsts , declares it to be the con vlction of the United States that tin revolution represents the sentiment o a majority of the Nlcaraguan peoplt and that there is evidently no respon slble government with which the Unit ed States can deal. Ho therefore an nounces that all parties will bo noli accountable for their actions as at feeling the Interest of Americans am Central America. Ho further informi Senor Rodriguez that while ho has los > his diplomatic quality he may stil serve ns an "unofficial" channel o communication with the faction whlcl ho is regarded as representing. This brings the crisis as near to thi status of war ns It could be brought by executive action without a definite declaration by both houses of congress which will convene next Monday. Mr. Knox's letter In all but so manj words makes It plain that the actloi represents the wish and attitude of al the Central American states , with th < single exception of Honduras , whlcl is regarded here as entirely dominate ! by Zelaya. Mexico has all along showr its sympathy with the United States In this matter. Just what status the consular ropro sentatlvcs of the United States in Nic aragua now enjoy is not definitely explained plained tonight. It is said , however that Vice Consul Caldera , who hai been occupying the legation In Man agua , together with the other consult In that country will bo given passports tomorrow.
