Bluefields, Nicaragua, Dec. liz
There has been sudden and unpleas-
ant realization here of the government
strength and insurgent weakness.
President Zelaya has outwitted Gem
eral Estrada, and the latter's chief
hope lies in American Intervention. 1t
turns out that the conference sought
by General Vasquez, of the govern
ment troops, which the insurgents had
interpreted as sign of yielding on
the part of Zelaya, was blind in
|tendedsto secure delay until the gov
ernment army had completed its flank
ing movement toward Bluefields. This
has been accomplished and three thou
sand men well armed are now march
ing on Bluefields.

fat and the consul assured him that
the marines from the cruiser Des
Moines, with six rapid-fire guns,
would be able to control the situation
here in event tie government army
should surprise the city.
II President Taft has determined
that Zelaya shall be deposed, it is be-
lieved the United States forces will
find active participation in the strug-
gle necessary. Apparently General
Estrada believes the situation critical
unless the Americans are prepared to
assume active and supreme control.
