OF former President zelaya's army
either killed or captured. nothing
stands in the way today OF Gen. Es-
tradas march against Managua. Ger.
Fornos Diaz has already begun the
Managuan advance and unless Presi'
dent Madriz sues for peace. the cap
ture OF the capital By the revolution
lists seems assured.
The completion OF the annih'lauon
OF Zelaya's Amy came Wednesday
evening in another fierce battle be-
tween the revolutionists and govern.
ment troops at Recreo. a few miles
north OF Rama.
The government troops which had
fed from in front OF Rama after the
fighting of Monday and Tuesday, made
their last stand here. They were soon
overwhelmed. After two hours en-
gagement, in which scores OF govern
ment troops recklessly threw away
their lives. the government troops
raised the white flag. The surrender
occurred at six o'clock.
When the full story OF the Rama
and Recreo battles Is written, IL VIII
be found that American soldiers or for
tune played a leading part and were
as responsible as any other one
agency for the sweeping revolution
cry victory.
The heroism displayed by John
Brsinsford. a North Dakotan. Is but
sample CT the courage shown by
score Of other Americans. who In
spired the revolutionists TO such valor
as is rarely displayed by Central AM
orleans.
Brainsford. thrice wounded IN Mon

Estradas camp last night with his
head bandaged with an American nag
He had been left for dead on the field
and was one OF the two Americans re-
ported killed in this engagement
Rrainsford Was. sent on Ia Blueflelds
and is now being cared for by the
surgeons from the American warships.
Generals Gonzales, Castrillo and
Roberto were captured and are now
in Bmeields. They all admit that
Zelaya's cause has been crushed.
The condition OF the 800 prisoners
captured shows that the government
troops fought against tremendous
odds They are so weak and ema-
ciated that many who are injured are
dying from disease For the last two
weeks the only rations of the soldiers
were bananas and corn and these were
dealt out sparingly. Nearly half OF
the men were without shoes and their
feet were terribly cut in marches and
flights over the stony roads.
United States Consul Moffatt was so
moved by he plight of the men that
he immediately cabled to his govern
mont an cccount OF their suferings
and needs. There is not enough food
in Bluefelds for the men. as all avail
able stores are being used 10 support
the revolutionists, while as for cloth
