Has Full Authority.

American Minister WetZel at Managua
has entire authority to take measures for
the protection of Americans during the
fighting between the Nicaraguan rebels
and the government forces.
Three hundred marines, hurried over
from Panama. are expected to land at
CorintO from the collier Justin today, il
they did not land last night. No orders
have been issued yet to send this
additional force to Managua, but Minister
WeftZel may take such action II he
thinks 1T necessary.
The State Department expects the
minister to act on his own judgment
of the circumstances and he would be
entirely supported in establishing a
neutral zone for the non-cOmbatantS
and forcing the contestants to do their
fightinA outside.
The bOmbardment of Managua is the
outcome of an insurrection started
July 20 by Gen. Luis Mena, then war
minister. who was depOsed by Presi-
dent Adolfo Diaz. after refusing to re-
sign Gen. Emiliano Chamorro was
chosen in-chief of the gov
ernment forces.
Gen. Mena's partisans on July 81 at
tempted to seize San Jorge, the lake
port of Rivas. with revolutionary
troops. transported on board Nicara-
guam lake steamers, which he had
seized, but the attack was repulsed.
Meanwhile his troops seized the towns
of Masaya and Granada, and on August
5 fight took place at Tipatapa, near
Managua.
On August 3, at the request Of the
Nicaraguan government, American
bluejackets and marines were landed
to protect the lives and property OF
citizens of the United States. The
American troops have since been on
guard in Managua.
