The wounded have been carried to Bluefields where the hospital facilities were inadequate 70 the demands made by the results of the engagement.

The fighting continued Tuesday. General Vasques, of the government forces, IS said to be prisoner at Managua. but the cause of his arrest Is not known at the state department.
 Captain Shipley's telegram adds that the surrender of the entire government force was expected yesterday and that Estrada is confident of complete success. The United States gunboat Eagle Is within the harbor and Is prepared at any moment to land it's bluejackets, but In all probability such course will be un- necessary.
 A dispatch from Managua today sig nificantly states that Madriz took pos session" of the presidency and has re- leased all political prisoners. He has also promised protection to American in- tereSts.
 The state department is without any information regarding that the people Of Granada had applied to the United State consul at Managua for the landing of marines for their protection.
