will have no hesitancy in making public the
names Minister Guzman is quite confident
that the revolution will be suppressed. as his
very large portion OF the country and has
strong resources at hand. He thinks. more
over. that n battle is being fought to-day. The
army is under the command Of the greatest
soldier Nicaragua ever produced. whose son Is
now a cadet at the West Point Military Acafe-
my. DR.. Guzman says that the revolutionists
are in possession OF the cable. which accounts
for what he describes as the wholly inaccurate
dtsra,rhes received at the state Department.
The Minister'S own cn Diagrams have been un-
delivered. but he has now established COM
muncntion through n friend in Nicaragua.
and his dispatches. he SAYS give much later
news than that received by the state Depart
ment and much more accurate.
