Managua. Nicaragua. July 1.-THE Nicaraguan
government has presented a complaint to the Cen
trail American Court of Justice located at Cartago,
Costa Rica. based the allegation that the gov
ernments OF Guatemala and Salvador have
dered assistance to the revolutionsts of Honduras
and the Nicaraguan refugees who allied with
them This fact, the Nicaraguan government al
leges. menaces the peace of the Nicaraguan Re
public.
President Zelaya is organizing an army to protect
the Nicaraguan frontier and his action TO this end
receives the support Of the people OF the country.
A request has been sent in from Puerto Cortez,
Honduras, for Mexican warships to protect Mexican
interests. The Honduran government Is said here
to have irrefutabe proof Of allegations that the
governments Of Salvador and Guatemala have
given aid TO the Honduran revolutonsts
There is reason TO believe that serious engage
rnents will soon occur and that the fighting will
be desperate. The rebels have captured the towns
Of Nacaone and Bien. and Santa Rosa and Copan
are rnenaced The revoIutionists have been almost
uniformly victorious.
Nicaragua is fearful OF the outcome Of the move
rnent in Honduras. for there is reason to believe
that the plan of the allies is first TO establish
joint government in Honduras soon as Davila is
driven out and then to advance upon and over
throw the Zelaya government in this republic.
The establishment Of the Central American Court
Of Justice is outcome Of the Central American
Peace Conference held in Washington last year.
