the attack on Managua.
The American reported that foreign
ers concur with resident Americans in
Manague that this action on the part
of the American naval commander
was the only move that could have
prevented complete anarchy and the
spread of disorder throughout Cen
trai America.
Tie Annapolis is a small gunboat
and her complement is only about 1lo
men, so that Capt. Terhune employed
a much larger proportion of his forces
in this instance than usually is drawn
from ships company for a landing
party. The American collier Justin,
however, probably alrendy has arrived
at Corinto fom San Juan del Su, max
ing quite an effective support for the
sunboat.
The state department is averse to
intervention in the factional qiarrels
of the Central American republics,
bus it is understood its position in
this case is that constitutional guar
antys must be respecter, and who
ever seeks to administer the govern
ment of Nicaragua must base his t..
tie not upon force of arms alone, bu.
on the majority of the ballots of the
people cast without duress. This
policy would seem to indicate a pur-
pose to give at least moral support tC
the Diaz government until regular
elections take place.
