would enter Managu within few
hours and that Madriz and his fol-
lowers had left the city after turning
the Government over to Estrada 5
brother.
No information from the West Coast
of Nicaragua has been received by the
state Department for the last two
days. Just what the situation is there
officials are unable to say. Reports
that have gained circulation to the
