ALL IS QUIET At CAPITOL
CHIEFS OF THE NlCARAGUAN Lee
CATION LEAVE THEIR HEAD
QUARTERS DEsOLATE

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The Mic
araguan legation here is no. more.
Big vans have carried off the fur
niture and other appurtenances of the
house in 0 street, where President
Zelaya's representatives once were
domiciled.
A for rent" sign ornaments the
front lawn and drawn curtains and
an air of deso'ation greet the caller,
while no servitor hastens to answer
ring at the bell.
In addition, it is the gossip in Cen
trail American circles that the Ze-
layan government has not sent the
monthly checks to it's legation, an
oversight that is said to be sorely felt
by the legation force.
Senior Rodriguez; special emissary
Of Zelaya, through whom Secretary
Knox's sharp note was conveyed to
the Nicaraguan government, is still
in Washington. 1t was said by a
former attache Of the legation that
the furniture had been stored until
the present situation cleared and that
it was the property of the govern
ment
1t was Indignantly denied that the
legation had been driven from its
quarters because of the failure Of the
Nicaraguan government to meet the
monthly rent bills.
Word was received tonight in Cen
trail American circles that reports of
a Re ayan victory over the insurgent
army near Rama were without foun-
dation. It was declared there had
been no fighting in the last few days.
'Tt is the lull before the storm"
said a Central American diplomat.
I'm a few days we will hear Of a
battle and it will be a decisive one,
provided the Estrada forces are vic
torious. If they are not. they will fall
back to fight again.
