BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, Dec IL
A staff correspondent Of the Asso-
ciated Press, who recently arrived
here, has canvassed the situation and
finds it less hopeful for the insurgents
than had been believed.
General Estrada is greatly disturbed
and has appealed to United States
Consul Moffat for marines from the
cruiser Des Molnes to protect Amer
leans.
There has been a sudden and un-
pleasant realization here of govern
ment strength and insurgent weak
ness.
President Zelaya has outwltted GEN.
eral Estrada, and the latter's CHIEF
hope is in American Intervention.
Monday night General Estrada re-
ceived information that large force
of government troops was stationed
between Rama and 5luefields.
This caused alarm, which was aug
mented by the report brought by the
cruiser Des Moines that Zelaya's men
at oreytown are in far from the des-
perate condition which has been re-
ported here. They are said to num-
Der more than 5000 we'll fed and we'll
paid soldiers, and are opposed only
by General chamorro with 400 insur-
gents.
The excellent condition of the army
in Greytown is said to be the main
reason why it does not leave its quar-
ters and attack Chamorro.

out equivocation that ZeIaya is at
tempting negotiations with Japan for
a canal concession in his domain. Cas-
triIo says that Don Luis F. Corea'
former minister of ZeIaya to the United
States, has in his possession creden-
tials to the emperor of Japan. Pedro
Gonzales, who is also in Washington,
is credited with being the special rep-
resentative of ZeIaya. His movements,
while very quiet, have attracted atten-
ton, but II is declared he has sought
no audience either with President Taft
or Secretary Knox.

WASHINGTON, Dec. .11.--Disquiet-
ing news received from Nicaragua AT
the state department today that there
is danger of an attack by Zelaya's s
forces on Bluetields, where there are 150
Americans. resulted in orders being
sent by wireless telegraph to the crus-
er Tacoma to proceed under full steam
to Bluefields. there to join the cruiser
Des Moines and await further orders.
The Prairie, now at Philadelphia, has
been ordered to take on board 700 ma
rines under command of Col. Biddle,
and steam as soon as possible to Colon.
The Importance of these orders is
minimized at the state department,
where it is said the Tacoma has been
instructed to look out for American in
terests at Bluefelds.
While the destination of the Prairie IS
given as Colon, ii is equipped with
wireless apparatus and the vessels des-
tination could be changed any moment,
zeIaya's Plan
The news that Zelaya probably would
avoid an engagement at Rama, and,
making a detour, would strike Blue
fields, the headquarters OF the revolu-
tionary army and provisional govern
ment, was received here with some APP
prehension, and almost Immediately a
conference was held at the Office of the
secretary of the navy. at which were
present Secretary Meyer, Assistant Sec
retary winthrop, Rear Admiral Vain
wright and Assistant Secretary of State
Wilson.
prompt decision was reached to
hurry additional fighting material to
the danger point in Bluetields.
Thus far there has been no intima-
tion that a landing is in immediate
contemplation.
1t is a fair assumption, however,
that should American lives be put in
jeopardy, or American business inter-
fered with, prompt and decisive action
would be taken.
Navy officials today, while admitting
that the marines, which are expected
to land from the Dixie at Colon today,
would be hurried across the Isthmus
of Panama and put on board the Buff
falo, stated the vessel had received no
orders to sail to Corinto
However, it is given out that the
taking aboard of 725 marines almost
certainly means an immediate sailing,

GO TO CITY HALL
TO PAY LICENSES
MAYORS AGITATION BRINGS
RESULTS
Municipal Employees Paid, Causing
Four Long Lines of Persons
to Form in Front of
Windows

Four long lines of humanity bisected
each other yesterday morning on the
first floor of the city hall, and at least
one line was longer for the recent agi-
tation begun by the mayor against the
methods of license collection in vogue
in the office of Tax Collector johnson.
1t was pay day yesterday for city EN-
ployes, as well as quarterly and month
ly license day. One line extended from
the window of the auditors Office where
salary warrants are given out, and an
other line from the treasurers office
where they were paid. one line reached
from the license window in the city
clerks office where licenses are issued,
and the other line from the tax col
lector's office where license fees are
paid.
1t was the line in front of the office
of the tax collector that showed an as
tonishing increase in length. Since the
mayor began to show up the manner in
which the collection of license fees has
been neglected more persons are COM
ing to the city hall to pay their license
fees, as the law requires, than formerly
was the case. Heretofore the six Ii
cense inspectors attached to Johnson's
office had collected license money in
stead of making it their business to see
that persons subject to the license law
went to the city hall and paid the
money to the proper person.
