sued by Steamers.

Managua, Nicaragua, March 25.-
Santos Ramirez, director general of
telegraphs and telephones, Sunday
made the following statement:
1.-THE Nicaraguan forces have cap
tured Choluteca, Honduras, which was
held by the Honduran and Salvado-
rean troops, and President Bonilla
has fled in boat Steamers will pur-
sue the fugitive president. I believe
the war is ended"
The government is without further
advices concerning the capture of
Choluteca, but details are expected
shortly. Choluteca is the most strong
ly fortified town Of Honduras. It is
on the Choluteca river, about three
miles from the gulf Of Fonseca. It
was here, some years ago, that ex-
President Vasquez was defeated by
allied revolutiOnists and Nicaraguans.
Fall Of Capital Expected.
Washington, March 25.-President
Bonilla has fed from the battlefield
and the Central American war has
practically ended, according to cable
dispatches received in Washington
Sunday by the Nicaraguan minister,
Mr. Corea. The fall Of the Honduras
capital, Tegucigalpa, Monday, Is pre-
dicted by the Nicaraguan secretary Of
foreign affairs, Mr.. James.
The cablegram from the secretary
OF foreign affairs follows:
e. 'Choluteca taken. Salvadorean and
Honduran combined armies defeated
President Bonilla hidden in San Lor-
enzo with 200 men. Sent steamers
to capture them. Tegucigalpa will be
taken tomorrow"
Gen Romirez. director general OF
telegraphs and telephones sends this
message:
1T IS my opinion that the war is
terminated Bonilla has fed from Cho-
luteca to SAIL"
BonIIa May Recruit His Army.
When shown the dispatch announc-
ing that President Bonilla had fled
from Honduras by boat, Minister Co.
rea expressed the opinion that the
fugitive president would go to Saliva
dor and again recruit his army for a
second attack on Nicaragua unless
the United States and Mexico exer-
else their good offices to the extent of
insisting that Salvador and Guate-
mala maintain neutrality. If this is
done, Mr.. Corea says the war is end
ed, otherwise he is firmly convinced
that it will only be question Of
short time until hostilities are re-
sumed. The Nicaraguan minister
Monday will ask Secretary Root and
the Mexican ambassador, Mr.. Creel,
to take some steps to force Salvador
and Guatemala to keep their neu-
trality pledge.
