REBEL FORCE
IN NICARAGUA
IS SUCCESSFUL

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-A dispatch
from Blueflelds, Nicaragua, says: at
is reported here General Aurelio Es-
trada,i elder brother of the man who
has been proclaimed president, has
landed force of insurgents on the
shore of Lake Nicaragua and is NOV
ing toward the capital. Several towns
on the shores of the lake have been
occupied by the revolutionists. Serious
fighting is expected soon in the vicin-
ity of Managua.
Closes Atlantic Ports.

received at the state department show
that martial law has been declared in
NIsra2ua. the capital If ~ a'Agua. and
tha. President Zelaya has decreel The
Atlantic coast ports closed as ports Of
entry. 1t is also reported that the en-
tire east coast of Nicaragua is in the
possession of the revolutionists and
that the revolt has extended to the
western part of the country.
The closing of these Nicaraguan
ports is proving an embarrassment to
the steamship lines which have receiv-
ed goods for shipment there, and the
state department has been asked what
course should be pursued with respect
to these shipments and also with re-
spect to mails destined to eastern ports
as well as to interior points.
Rebels Leader is Popular.
Panama, Oct. 16.-General Juan Es-
trada, leader of the revolution in
Nicaragua, is young and popular man.
He is a brother of Generals Jose Dol
ores and AureIio Estrada. The former
married first cousin of President
ZeIaya and the latter is a prominent
leader of the Managua liberals.
AS near as can be learned here, the
revolutionary movement started SIM
ultaneousIy in several provinces.
Among the revolutionists there are
said to be enrolled prominent liberals
and conservatives, which fact gives the
rebellion the importance of national
movement This is the first time dur
ing President Zelaya's regime that n
prominent member of his government
has been openly disloyal.
