 No Uneasiness Felt
 No uneasiness was felt for the safe ty of the United States forces. Offi cialS said IL was more tndH equippel to deal with any rebel force fl might meet.
 The lack of news was partially ex- plained by the fact that Rear Ad- miral Southerland must be many miles from Managua, his base, with no means of sending messages except by courier. The relief of Granada with its foreign inhabitants. officials declared. was inn perative if other foreign governments were not to take a hand in protecting their subjects. Some definite advices from Admiral Southerland are anxious lY awaited.
