WASHINGTON. Dec, 11-Ihe United
States cruiser Buffalo. now at Panama
with 500 marines on board, has been
-Sordcred to sail at once for Corinto.
!, This action was taken today as the
4result of a\telegram received from the
United States consulate at Managua
eIstation that. inasmuch as Zclaya in his
utmessage resigpiuc the presidency has
n4nadc unpleasant reference TO Americans
U]and owing to a report current IN that
city that civilian adhcrents Of Lelaya
N had been armed with daggcrs, citizens
of The United States there had appealed
10 the consulate for protection.
Another telegram from the American
'<fonsulate at Managua says that II Is
eurrently rumored there that, when
Msdriz arrives 10 Managua, presumably
!. Tomorrow, Ielaya will formally surren-
-aer his office TO the national assembly,
nnd that that body already has received
Instructions from Zelaya 10 cast its vote
Dior Irias as president OF Nicaragua.

kThis rumor is directly at variance
Eith the understanding that Madriz
would receive the support, not only Of
,Lelaya himself. but OF his faction.

pficers at Mauag7ia is that. by the selec-
fion of Irias. Zelaya would still domi-
