For the most part the corn shown

Managua, Nicaragua, January a.
The revolutionary army Is advancing
rapidly to the front, abandoning it's
march on Acoyapa and pushing on
towards the capital by way of Tipitapa.
gThe Madriz government has rushed
/ 900 men to check the advance. Cen
eral Chamorro's army is now between
this government force and another
force of 1000 men at Acoyapa. Ills
position is considered desperate. and
he must defeat the NIadriz forces at
Tipitapa, which Is twenty-four miles
from Managua, or be caught between
two fires.
General Chamorro must accomplish
his object quickly, for his line OF COM
munication with his base OF supplies
is cut. If victorious. however. he can
push on to Managua unopposed.
There is feverish activity here, and
troops have been leaving for the scene

Planned Downfall Of His
Government.

Mexico City, January 31.--1n state
ment given to personal friend for
publication after his departure from
this city, Jose Santos Zelaya, former
President of Nicaragua, who left last
night en- route to Belgium, made the
startling statement that he was trick
cd by the United States into providing
the revolutionists an advantage dur
ing the early stages of the insurrec-
ton in his country. He said:
Our army had defeated the reyo-
lutionlsts on the San Juan River, and
was marching on Bluefields. The re-
volt would have ended In a week, when
suddenly the United States asked US
to declare q truce, while terms of
peace could be discussed. The truce
was declared, and before operations
were resumed, the insurgents received
a large shipment OF arms and ammuni-
ton from the United States. After
that. followed the battle of Rama, in
which the government army was de-
feated. We were tricked, and played
like figures in game of chess by
the powerful influence at Washington
until the advantage was given over
to the other side, just as Washington
had planned.

win, but its pretense of neutrality

prevents it from making an oper

Zelaya made a specific denial of each
of the charges made by Secretary Knox

son than that / opposed the desire OF
