forth a hasty dispatch from the navy

received from the United States con
sulate at Managua said that Zelaya.
IN resigning the presidency, had made
unpleasant reference 10 Americans,
and that civilian adherents OF Zelaya
had been armed with daggers.
Whether the 700 marines, on the ar
rival of the Buffalo az Corinto. will bc
placed under the orders OF the United
states consulate ut Managua does not
appear. but IL is assumed that the
commander OF the Buffalo will take
such steps as he may deem necessary
under his general instructions TO pro
tcct American citizens and American
interests.
Rear Admiral Kimball. who went TO
Panama on the Dixie. will accompany
the marines TO Corinto. He will then
take command Of the naval vessels

gains and that there was no sufficient
reason for annuling the understanding
This proceeding comes at an mop
perfume time as the EMF. company
has made arrangements TO turn out
about 1000 cars a month of the two

other companies which had contracts
for materials and parts will be inter
fered with. Unless speedy settle

mechanics are likely to be thrown out
