Estrada forces at Tatumbla and

General Mena at the former place and
Generals Chamorro, Mattuti and
Foruos Dlaz at the latter place, prac-
tically routed and defeated the forces
Of zelaya, after desperate fighting for
several hours. The Zalayan forces
were commanded by General Gonzales.
A great many were killed, the num-
Der being unknown; 100 were wound
ed and $50 prisoners were taken by
the reyolutionists. The Zalayan troops
OF Recreo have occupied what has
been considered a strong position.
Estrada is confident of defeating the
enemy when he renews the attack to-
day and of forcing their surrender"
The clash between the two armies
was not unexpected here. For days
the armies have been lying practically
idle in their trenches around Rama,
skirmishing only marring the place
that brooded over that section. Estra-
