GRANADA TAKEN
BY CHAMORRO
Nicaraguan insurgents Win Vic
tories Of Immense Import
to Cause.
COVfRNMfNT Is IN A PANIC
Believed That Estrada Will Join Cha
MORO and Attack Managua-Ma-
driz Forces Lose Heavily
Disorder Complete.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Victories of
immense Importance to the insurgents
i'm Nicaragua are told i'm dispatches
received today at the state department.
Chamorro with the main division of in
surgents has evaded the government
forces sent out To check him and by a
flank movement has taken the City of
Granada. The Chamorro family is
very powerful there and the capture
of the city is most important. 1t is in
ferred Estrada is believed to be going
in the direction of Greytown and
marching to make a junction with
.Chamorro and attack Managua. The
losses to the government troops is
terrific i'm the guerilla warfare which
has ragged the last few days. The dis
patches say that after the engage
ment on the nineteenth scores of un-
buried dead lay upon the fields. Losses
to the PROFESSIONALS were slight.
Complete disorder and panic are
spread through the Madriz troops and
the government. All trains on the
railroad east of Managua have been
abandoned and the line is used only for
military purposes. The situation in
the surrounding country is becoming
more serious for the government. The
insurgents also recaptured the govern
ment steamer Victoria on Lake Man
aqua. Madriz is taking alarm at the
spirit of unrest among the populace
and has practically declared a dicta-
torship over the departments of Gran
ada, Masaya and Carazo, and appoint
ed Julian Irias Zelayas prime min
lister, in charge of them with plenary
power.
