ports Of Nadriz reverses. They contend
that even # Granada has fallen another
battle would be necessary before Managua
could be taken. Instead of Madriz having
fed TO 0Srinto. on the coast, they say
that he is lighting at the head Of his army,
and for that reason alone he had deposited
his power with Jose Dolores Estrada. a
brother Of the leader OF the insurgents,
but not q follower. Again. they say that
with Managua IN the hands OF the insur-
gents Madriz would fall back on Leon. the
Liberal stronghold. which raised an army
of 10, 600 men in 1899 and put ZeIaya in
