 ON BOARD PRESIDENT TAFTS TRAIN, ROCHESTER, Aug. 2S. - President Taft tonight rescinde1 his twelve-hcur cid order directing the immediate despatch from Pana"ta 10 Nicaragua of the Tenth infantry From his private car !n the R0ehes. .. ter yards the president wired to he acting secretary of war to reca,: the order sufficient orce of marines, the president said tonight, would he in Managua, the Nicaraguan capital, and Corinto, it's principal seapo ort,, 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 reading telegrams from the state, war and navy department heads at Wash ington. The president expressed to- night to friends on the car his belief that there would be more than 2000 United States marines on Nicaraguan soil by Tuesday
 A long telegram tonight from the commander of the United States gun boat Annapolis in Nicaraguan waters said the insurgent leaders had given assurances that they would open lines of communication from COrintO to Managua The Nicaraguan govern ment has asked assistance from the United States and stands ready to aid in opening the railway to the coast from the capital. The message to the president said 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 order for the dispatch of the Tenth infantry fol- lowed the receipt of this telegram.
 The president did not conceal his anxiety tonight over the conditions in Central America. In Managua, Cor into and other towns the situation is not especially dangerous to Ameri- cans, but in other parts of the cOun- try, pillaging of all sorts has been going on The people of Nicaragua. the president is informed, are suffer ing untold horrors: Americans are suffering with them in many in stances
 To friends tonight MT. Taft said that if the senate had agreed to the proposed treaty with Nicaragua, which he advocated on his long trip last fall, the misery existing today would not have arisen Under that treaty the United States, he said. would have ad- ministered the customs of Nicaragua and since the customs are about the countrys only source of revenue there would have been little to attract the revolutionists who would not care to attack the United States.
 During the day the president re- ceived several long messages from Acting Secretary of State Wilson. His order to the Tenth infantry to advance to Nicaragua was issued at Beverly just before he left for Columbus, Ohio where he speaks tomorrow. Messages from Wilson were received at Albany N Y. and other points east of Roches- ter and telegrams from the navy de- partment also kept coming to Tafts private car Neither state nor navy department wished to see United States troops sent into Nicaragua The custom in similar cases has been to land marines.
 The president said today that while sending a regiment of infantry would not be an act of war, he would pre- fer to use the marines if an available force could be found quickly.
 His telegrams to Washington were evidently fruitful. for he was of the opinion tonight that the navy depart ment had found enough marines to look after every American and all American property that might be en- dangered. If he finds the situation critical later he will not hesitate tC use the army
