FINAL BATTLE IS ON
REBELS AND zELAYA's FORCES
FIGHTING AT eREYTowN
AND RAMA.
GENERAL ASSAULT TO FOLLOW
Belief Held In Washington is That
American Marines Have Been
Landed-Department Makes
Evaslve Replies.

'Washi3gton.-The Nicaraguan In
surgents are now engaged in what is
expected to be the final grapple with
the Zelayan forces, according to un-
official advices, reaching Salvador
Castrillo, the representative here
of the Nicaraguan insurrectionary
forces. The advices indicate that
fighting is in progress both at Rama
and Greytown, and that a general as
sault on Managua, the capital, will
follow.
The arms and ammunition landed
early this week from the Norwegian
steamer Utstein are believed now to
be in the hands of the insurrection-
lists and prompt S of them by Es-
trada's forces is expected. Senior Sas-
trillo pointed out that it would re-
quire less than three days to trans
port the munitions fro Bluefields,
where the Utstein landed them, to
Rama, and that as soon as his COM
patriots were supplied immediate con-
fict with the government troops was
inevitable.
The department of state declared it
had received no advices of any kind
from Nicaragua. All inquiries as to
the landing of marines on Nicaraguan
territory were met with evasive re-
plies, but these were such as to give
rise to the belief that some force has
been put ashore to protect American
interests and to reconnoiter. Just
how large this force may be or how
long it may be intended to be kept
there could not even be guessed.

ped from the customs service here
since March 9.

sumed office. No further shake-ups Of
any consequence, for the present at

importers, from Greece, at less than
their true weight.
Mr.. Loeb said in the matter of the
latest ten men dropped that he would
not proceed against them in any
criminal action. He also refused to

out:
Asked about the ten dropped, he
said:
There are no charges filed against
them. They have just been dropped,
that is all. l could not very well pro-
coed against them. l would have to
prove the charges legally. In some
cases there was evidence to convince
me for their un1tness for duty and
that was all"
