REPORT FROM SOUTH AMERICA
THAT RENOLUTIoNiSTS
WERE VlcTORs.
Fighting Is Expected to Continue
Today - Contradictory Reports Re-
garding the Number of Killed Have
Been Sent Out Estrada Forces
Are Confident.
-. Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 21--zelaya's
troops were routed by the Nicaraguan
revolutionists today in fierce battle
at Rama lasting several hours, ac-
cording to advices received here this
afternoon. General Estrada, in COM
mand of the revolutionary army is
reported to have been gucsessfull all
along the line. The battle is to be
renewed tomorrow, the advices de-
clare, and the Estrada army will
bend all efforts to compel uncondi-
tional surrender. There is some
doubt as to the exact extent of Es-
trada.s success. From revolutionary
sources the word is sent that the vic
tory is complete" The state de-
partment has heard from Bluefelds
that Estrada had "Partially routed
and defeated the forces of Zelaya."
The first announcement of the bat
tie came in cablegram to DR.. Cas-
trillo the representative here Of the
provisional government, from Diaz,
secretary of state of the provisional
government. II
victory is ours. Zelaya's troops are
in retreat" Later this evening the
state department gave out the follow
ing message from Consul Moffat at
Bluefelds: Estrada forces at Ia
tumbla and Recreo, near Rama, COM
manded by General Mena at the
former place and General Chamorro,
Mattuti and FOrnOs Dir at the latter
place, partially routed and defeated
the forces Of Zelaya, after desperate
fighting of several hours" A great
many were killed, the number being
unknown; one hundred were wound
ed and prisoners were taken by the
revolutionists. The Zelayan troops
at Recreo have occupied what has
been considered strong position.
Estrada is confident of defeating the
enemy when he renews the attack to-
morrow and of forcing their sur
render"

Washington, Dec. q, .1909.-Presi-
dent Taft's ringing address to the
census supervisors, from the eastern
states, in conference here, was In
tended not only for them, but, also
for all the other supervisors, for the
candidates for enumerators' places,
the politicians, and the world In gen.
eral. He said: 49, .,
"I am very glad to see you. You
number about a third of the force
upon which we have to rely to take
the census. I expressed my opinion
about the character of your duties
when I wrote letter to Mr.. Durand.
II did not write that letter just for
the fun of having it published. ]
wrote it to be a genuine instruction
to you, and I hope you will all oh
serve it. I know If you pursue
it, it will be an easy course for you.
If you don't observe it, then I will OBJ
serve you. I know, Of course, there
will be pressure.
MANY Of you--most of you-have
been recommended by congressman,
and it. may be that some of these
congressman will come to you and
expect, because they did recommend
you, that you owe them something in
the way of selecting the men as emu
merators who will help them in their
congressional election. You have
got to use sense and discretion. You
have got to select the men that you
think will do the work, and if you
catch them doing political work I
wish you to remove them, just as
will remove you If catch you doing
political work. 1t is business.
II am not quarreling with the con-
gressmen. Each man is looking for
all the aid he can get to get back
into his place, and l am not objecting 6
to the efforts in that direction. But
you are the gentlemen that I want
to make responsible, through Mr..
Durand, for taking this census, and
you are the gentlemen I rely upon,
and if can't rely upon you, then
am going to direct Mr.. Durand to let
me know about it, and l will see if
cannot help him out with somebody
else.
Il take great pride in this census.
believe we can make it the best
census that has been taken, if we
take it as a census, and do not use
it and regard it as in cidental to some
thing else.
''Now, you are not well paid. This
is not a business that is going to en-
rich any of you; but it is a business
that is worth doing we'll, and I hope
it will turn out so that when the
census is taken we shall all have
pride in the fact that we were a part
in taking it, however humble.
81 am glad to meet you, gentlemen.
would be glad to say this same
thing to your fellows, but having this
opportunity of delivering little lee
ture, / could not restrain myself from
doing so. I mean every word I have
said.''

The rector of the university, DR.. Sal

possibility of the university cancelling
the degree which it conferred on DR..
Cook, said that no decision had been
reached, but he thought that the de-
gree could be withdrawn in the same
way as a government could deprive a
person of an order obtained under
false pretenses.
Commodore Gustav Holma, the Arc

committee said Cooks claim that he

that he was a swindler Now his pa
