IssueR a Manifesto Crtttctstng United
states.
Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 22.-Ex-
President zeiaya today issued mani
festo, declaring that his surrender of
the presidency was caused by desire
to save Nicaragua the humiliation Of
outraRes threatened by powerful
foreign nation. which was now inaugu-
rating q decisive influence over the
destiny OF Nicaragua.
Because of his resistance against the
imposition of tutelage. which was the
forerunner of the conversion of the
Latin nations of this continent into
dependencies of the United states, he
had incurred the hatred OF that Gov
eminent and when the defeat of the
reyolutionists appeared certain. the
United states Government Inexplicabl5
severed relations with Nicaragua
through Secretary Knox's letter to the
Charge d'Affaires. He protested before
the world against the meddling OF the
United states and the threat to land
marines.
Zelaya, In his manifesto. takes up
various clauses of the Knox letter In
an attempt to refute certain charges
with copies of letters he had received
from John Gardner Coolidge. the for
mer American Minister at ManGgua,
thanking him for his courteous treat
ment in the matter of the claims of
Guatemala and Salvador.
The former President declares that
the Americans. Cannon and Groee, were
executed according to law. This pke-
text for Intervention. he asserts, is sim
liar to that employed when the United
states first interviewed in Cuba. for
there was no proof that the battleship
Maine was blown up by Spaniards, yet
this was taken as a cause for action F..
Nor, according to Zelaya, is there any
prove that Cannon and Grooe were
nut to death unlawfully.
There are persistent rumors here that
a force OF Hondurans. now refugees in
Guatemala, ase preparing for revolu-
ton and propose to invade Honduras
at Ocotepeque.
General Gonzales. in command of the
Government troops at Rama In an
official dispatch received here this
morning, claims to have won victory
over the revolutionists. He admits
having suffered severe losses The
battle being fought at noon Monday,
the Governments right wing being
attacked by General Chamorro and the
left wing by Matuty. l
These positions were defended until
o'clock in the evening by Gonzales
and Castrlllo.
