New Orleans. La, August 22.--Aftcri
almost a year Of severe fighting, the
revolution which was begun by sew
3eral hundred Nicaraguan insurgents at
Bluenelds on October 10. 1903. practi-
.cally ended to-day with the advance
by the revolutionists on the capital city
OF Managua and the resignation OF
President Madrlz in favor of General
Jose Dolores Estrada. brother OF the
insurgent leader.
Cable dispatches received in New Or
leans to-day announced that Managua
had fallen. No resistance was offered
Ito General Luis Mena. who. at the head
Of an army largely augmented by the
campaign in the interior, marched into
the city. Dr. Jose D. Madriz, who had
been President since Zelaya was de-
posed last November. abdtcated before
the, insurgent army arrived. Jose Es-
trada, in turn. issued a proclamation
declaring his brother, General Juan
Estrada, president OF the reunited
Irepublic OF Nicaragua.
Little Doubt Remains. &
Washing on. D. c.. August 22.---Whilea
official lsdispatches were lacking. scarce
might that the Madriz forces have been
crushed in Nicaragua and that General
Juan Estrada. leader of the insurgents,
has succeeded Madriz as temporary
acting President OF the Managua gov
Iernment.
| Only the staunchest adherents OF
Madriz held to the belief that his
cause .is not yet lost. DR.. Barrios and
Sebastian Salinas, the latter, until his
departure for the United States, mil:
itary governor OF Granada, and both
refuse to believe the reports from
Managua and Bluefields of the MadriZ
reverses They contend that even II:
Granada has fallen. which they pro-
fess to doubt, another battle would be
| necessary before Managua could be
taken. Instead Of Aiadriz having fed
to Corinto, on the coast, they declare
that he is fighting at the head OF MS
army, and for that reason alone ne
has deposited his power with Jose
DOLORES Estrada, a brother OF the
leader Of the Insurgents, .nu. no,, -,
follower Of him. Again, they say tnat

insurgents, Madriz would fall back on
