Bluehelds, Nicaragua, Dec. 20
General ESTRADA, 1t is said today, will
Immediately assume the offensive
against the government of President
Madriz. The insurgent leader holds
that the Zelaya element was removed

aqua is believed to be imminent.
The prisoners captured at Rama
have been we'll fed and all who now
espouse the cause of Estrada will be
armed and enrolled in the ranks of the
insurgents.
The details OF Estrada's further
campaign are not made known, but
it is understood that his movement on
Managua will be by way of Greytown,
which he expects to capture with lit
tie show of resistance. Various groups
of the enemy in the vicinity Of the San
Juan river will be wiped out, and the
path to the Nicaraguan capital made
along Lake Nicaragua.
The exact number Of the dead, in
jured and captured in the two days
fighting near Rama is either not de-
termined, or the facts are purposely
withheld.
