The California should reach Cordn-
to Monday night. if sne covers the $50

Southerland has already ed
his purpose of sending to at
least 500 Of the marines she carries

used to patrol the 72 miles Of railroad

These reinforcements win bring the
total American strength IN Nicara-
qua up to more than 1000 men ashore

in the coastal waters on both sides OF
