On Board President Tafts Train, Rochester, N. Y, August 2S.-Presi- dent Taft tonight rescinded his 12-hour- old order directing the immediate dis patch from Panama to Nicaragua. of the Tenth infantry. From his private car in the Rochester yards the President wired to the Acting Secretary of War to recall the order. A sufficient force of marines, the President said tonight would be in Managua and Corinto early next week to insure the safety of American lives and property.
 The Presidents action tonight came at the close of day spent largely in considering telegrams from state, war and navy department heads In Wash ington. The President expressed to- that there would be more than two thousand United States marines on Nicaraguan soil by Tuesday.

 the lines of communication from Cor into to Managua. The Nicaraguan gov ernment itself asked for assistance from the United States and stands ready to aid in opening the railway line to the coast from the capital.
 The message to the President said that the rebels possess five locomotives and the government five. All ten of these may be put at the disposal of the United States if necessary. The recall of the order for the dispatch of the Tenth infantry followed the receipt of this telegram from the Denver
 The President did not conceal his anxiety tonight over conditions in the Central American republic. In Mana qua and Corinto and other. towns the situation is not now especially danger ous to Americans, but in parts of the country the revolution is not in hand and pillagtng of all sorts has been go ing on The people of Nicaragua, the President was informed. are suffering untold horrors, and Americans are sui fering in many instances with them.
 Taft Blames Senate
 MT. Taft declared tonight tTat if the Senate had agreed to the proposed treaty with Nicaragua, which he advocated on his long trip last fall, the misery existing today never would have been suffered. Under that treaty the United States, he said, would have administered the out come of Nicaragua and since the customs are about that countrys only source of revenue there would have been little to attract d revolutonist who would not care to tackle the United States.
 The President received several long messages today from Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson in Washington His order to the Tenth infantry to ad- vance on Nicaragua was issued iu Beverly just before he left for Columbus, O., where he speaks tomorrow. Messages from MT. Wilson were received al several points and telegrams from the navy de- partment also kept coming to Mir Tafts private car.
 Neither the state nor navy department wished to see United States troopes sent into Nicaragua. The custom in similar cases has been to land marines. The PI esdent said today that while the send ing of a regiment of infantry would not be an act of war he would prefer to use marines if an available force could be found quickly.
 His telegrams to Washington evidently were fruitful, for he was of the opiiryn tonight that the navy had found enough marines to look after every American and all American property that might be en- dangered. If he finds the situation crit ical later he will not hesitate to use the army, but he was hopeful that the rebel and government leaders will see the futll- ity of trying to make it uncomfortable for American citizens.
