WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Jose de
Olivares, United States consul at Mana
qua, has been threatened by President
Zelaya. and he has been granted per-
mission TO occupy the legation prem
ises as being more secure. The Nicara-
qua Congress will assemble next
Wednesday, December 1, and it is ru-
mcred that President Zelaya viii retire
and possibly attempt to escape from.
the country at night by the Pacific
coast. Anarchy 1t is said, may ensue.
Irias may succeed Zelaya as President
of Nicaragua.
The Nicaraguan insurgents are now
engaged in what is expected to be the
final grapple with the Zelayan forces,
according to unofficial advices last
night reaching Salvador Castrillo, the
representative here of the Nicaraguan
insurrectionary forces. The advices In
dicate that fighting is in progress both
at Rama and Greytown, and that gen.
eral assault on Managua, the capital
will follow.
The arms and ammunition landed
early this week from the Norwegian
steamer Utstein are believed now to
be in the hands of the insurrectionists,
and prompt use of them by Estrada S
forces is expected. Senior Castrilio
pointed out that 1t would require less
than three days to transport the mu-
nitions from Blue Fields, where the
Utstein landed them, to Rama, and
that as soon as the compatriots were
supplied, immediate conflict with the
government troops was inevitable.
The department of state declared 1t
had received no advices of any kind
from Nicaragua. All inquiries as to
the landing of marines on Nicaraguan
territory were met with evasive replies.
but these were such as to give rise to
the belief that some force has been
put ashore to protect American inter-
ests and to reconnoiter. Just how large
! this force may be or how long 1t may
be Intended to be kept there could moi
even be guessed.
The fall of the Zefaya government
4 and the flight Of President zelaya with
\ SEQ, ,o00, ,oou are expected before tho cruiser
Buffalo can reach Corinto with It's bat
TALON of marines. according to reports
received atsthe navy department today.
The news of Zelaya's flight is cor
roborated by the advices received here
today by Salvador Castrillo, the head OF
/ the NIcaraguan revolutionary party.
Castrillo will be the first minister of the
new government of Nicaragua at Wash
| ington.
1t was plainly intimated by the ad-
ministration officials that it would be to
the advantage OF this government If
there should be no change in the zelaya
government until after the United States
was entrenched near Nicaraguan terri
tory. That means that in order to carry
out tho extensive scheme of regenera-
ton it would be essential to have ma
rines enough to land and dictate terms
/ to the new party.
| NEW ORLEANS, Nov. Cit is ru-
mored today that L. F. Corea, former
Nicaraguan minister to the United
States, is slated to succeed Zelaya as
president of Nicaragua and that his
candidacy will meet with the favor of
the United States government. While
definite knowledge as to his plans are
lacking, it is believed that he left here
last night for Washington.
