NlCARAGUA'S TROUBLES.

Increased a. .nr outbreak of Fresh
Civil War.
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 13-Civil
war has again broken out in Nicaragua
The citizens of Leon are in arms again st
the government established when Sacasa
was overthrown. More important still is
the fact that President Don Salvador
Machado and General Avilez commander
in-chief of the army ,:are held as sponsors
by the revolutionists. The president and
general were paying visit to Leon.
Their presence there probably caused the
rebels to open their fight at a time when
the president and commander of the army
could be easily got under their control.
Having made the president and Genera
Avilez prisoners the revolutionists seized
the military barracks which were yielded
without opposition. Besides taking pos
session of the barracks the revolutionists
seized three steamers on Lake Managua.
These were used in transporting their
troops.
News of the outbreak reached IMAM
aqua yesterday afternoon. 1t is not
known how strong the revolutionists are,
but it is supposed that they are supported
by the republic Of San Salvador. Troops
have been ordered to march to Leun and
quell the revolt and release President
Machado and General Aviles from prison.
