BOTH SIDES CLAIM
VICTORY AT RAMA

NEW ORLEANS. La. Dec. THAT
tho warning factions in Nicaragua are
fighting more desperately than ever is
the report received today by the local
cOnsuls of the conflicting governments.
Both sides today claim the victory at
Rama, basing their claims on reports
received from the home government.
The statement that Zelaya has adj
mitted his defeat is scoffed at by Con-
sui General Altschul here, who says his
own confidential advices from Zelaya
show he won a decisive victory, and
that the Estrada forces have been
pushed back fifty miles. The revolu-
tionists now hold a narrow strip along
the Atlantic coast, while the rest OF the
country is in the hands OF the Zelayan
forces.
Consul Sussnan. OF the Estrada gov
eminent. says the revOlutonists won. a
victory at Rama. and declares that late
messages received show the statement
that Zelaya's soldiers lost more than
100 dead is verified. He declares the
battle shows the insurgents TO be gradu-
ally making their way into the interior
American engineers and others who
have lived IN Nicaragua declare that as
the battle was fought at Rama, as re-
ported. it must mean that the insurgents
are being pushed back. as they are az
least fifty miles east Of points where
they are reported to have been
Altschul SAYS there were 1900 men
under arms and the revolutionists can
not advance a foot into the interior.
The only thing we have 70 worry
about he said is the attitude Of the
United States. President Zelaya feels
the same way"
a private dispatch received today says
the battle Of Rama was fought in the
unoerbrush, And that the troops were
IN many Instances within a stones
throw OF one another. They fought des-
Derately and many men on both sides
were wounded The report also say,
Lelaya's troops were forced to retreat.

Of disintegration. battered by defeat
and weakened by treachery.
Stops At Coon.
In fact. so imminent is his downfall
that the cruiser Prairie, when she was
ordered TO sail 20 Nicaragua today, was
directed to touch at Colon to learn
tinue her voyage.
The State Department refused today 70
comment on what might be the possible
future developments. The next step for
Senior Castrillo TO take is 20 have Presi-
dent Estrada. the head Of the revolu-
fionary government. send him creden-
tails that he Is the accredited represen-
tative OF that government in Washing
ton. He would then have n superior
position over Zelaya's nan, Rodriguez,
and would. IN all probability. be recog-
nized officially by this Government with
out delay.
Zelaya can do two things. He can
either cut and run. or he can recall
Rodriguez. and send out Of Nicaragua
the American official rep esentatives. It
IS doubtful, however, IL he has enough
force at his disposal TO send them far.
The belief OF the officials Of the state
Department Is that the whole matter is
practically settled. Having made all
preparations TO read Zelaya out of power.
the department struck the one blow
which It considers all that is necessary

Tax Dodgine is Common Practice

That the large burden of taxation
is borne by the citizens of small

in various ways is brought out by the
facts reported to the state board of

annual levy for collection is laid. says
the Kentucky State Journal.
That the average citizen of small

That there is not 90 per cent OF
this class OF property given in to the

cent OF the property Of those OF small
