Estrada and zeiaya Forces are Close
Together Near Rama and
are Thought to be About
Ready to Clash.
ESTRADA WILL STRIKE
He Has a Small Gun Boat and is
Planning to Take the Aggressive
In the Matter At
Once.

BLUEFIELDS, via wireless to Col
on, Dec. IA battle between gov
ernment and revolutionary forces at
Recero, twelve miles from Rama and
at the head of navigation of the Mico
river, is momentarily expected.
Tired of awaiting an attack from
Zelaya's troops, Estrada has taken
the initiative and with the strongest
possible army possible to m .ster at
this time, is preparing to strike what
is hoped to prove a decisive blow.
Gen. Vasquez is Mt the head of the
government troops at Recero, while
Gen. Chamoro with the troors which
have been beseiging Gen. Toledo at
Greytown, is the chief support OF
Estrada.
Estrada has light gun boat, the
Blanket, equipped with a Hotchkiss
and several rapid fire guns. Cen
| Lena is encamped at Guadeloupe, on
the Rama river and circles the rear
of Vasquez's army. Estrada plans foI
Gems. Formos Diaz, Chermoro, Matudy
and Pacheo to attack vasquez a. the
front and flank while LENA st'ikes
! from the rear.
This determination to strike, results
from urgent appeals from sympathiz
ers and advisors to engage Zeluya II
battle. One of these areeals came
/ from DR.. Salvador Castr'.lo, the pro
visional government ag mt at Wash
I fngton. There is good authority fo
the statement that the recent peac,
conference was proposed by Zeliy;
for the purpose of assassins.tint
Estrada. The watchfulness Of Estra
da's emissaries, who were advised o
the plot, prevented it. The com
missary department at Rama is pre-
4 pairing to move to support the revc
lutionary army in the expected bat
4 tie.

ZeIaya,s Offer Refused.

BLUEFIELDS, Dec. 14.-Zelaya's
offer to resign and withdraw from the
country, is that the government
should accept Jose Madriz as presi-
dent, and has been fatty refused by
Estrada who says he would be no i'm
provement over Zelaya Mexico's
support of Madriz is explained on the
theory that the complete overthrow of
zelaya would probably mean the rise
of revolutionary movement in
Guatemala, similar to the Nicaraguan
movement, which might seriously In

ATTACKS AMERICAN TRADITIONS
Especial to The sentinel.l


New York. July l5.-Right Rev.
Charles d. Williams, d. D.. bishop of
Michigan, who came here to deliver
a series of sermons in tha Protestant
Episcopal churches, created a ,sensa-
tion in one OF his addresses by max
ing a savage attack on American in
stitutions and traditions.
American patriotism, said the
bishop. lis egotism, and money is the
main god
America is materialistic, individ-
ualistic and inhuman," declared DR.
Williams. American patriotism is
egotism. Our motto is too much:
Our Country, may she be in the
right, but our country. right OF
wrong
And it should be. D." was suggested.
II could not love thee, dear, so
much, loved l not honor more, ="
promptly replied the bishop
An that We think of here is
money" continued Dr. Williams, mo
other country in the world worships
money the way we do. Our congress
is run by the trusts and-Senator
Aldrich. The poor man has not a
chance We are nothing if not ma
terial."
anu W II 10 CldlHitu Alldl our
women are treated with more Chi
valry by their husbands than are the
women of any other country" was
interje cted in plea for sentiment
The bishop did not answer.
We absolutely disregard the flu
ture of our country as a unit" he
went on. 1t is each one for him
self-individua greed and individual
gain. II is possible that the differ
entiated laws of the states may have
something to do with our national
attitude, but | am of the opinion that
II is more fundamental
We are inhuman." and here the
bishops voice took a deeper tone.
Not another nation holds human
life as lightly as we do. In Pittsburg
last year 1000 human bodies were
MANNED or killed by accidents from
which they should have been guard
ed. Our laws for the protection of
human life are neither properly made
nor properly enforced. On laws pro-
tecting women and children we rank
one other nation. That nation is
Russia. We sit with our hands fold
ed and watch the slaughter of the
innocents.
