Fighting for Nicaragua On Typewriters

Gen. Juan J. Estrada, President of the
Provisional government of Nicaragua,
and his chief advisor Gen. j. NJ. Mon
cado, ex-Minister of the Interior, are
keeping a firm grip on the Nicaraguan
revolutionary situation from their i'm
pregnable citadel in Brooklyn.
The ordinarily peaceful patio of the
Hotel st. George. in the midst of the
quiet. aristocratic residential section on
the Heights; is suddenly transformed into
Central American war headquarters.
Only the skirmishes are verbal, the bonn
bardments epistolary, the click of the
embattled typewriter replaces the rattle
OF musketry, and clouds Of tobacco smoke
instead Of that of gunpowder sweep over
the bloodless plain.
Besides Estrada and Moncado other
Nicaraguan generals and diplomats are
in the field at Brooklyn, representing
both the government and the insurgent
factions which at the present moment are
fighting for possession of the far Nicara-
guam capital, Managua, umpired by de-

lives and property Of American citizens
