REVOLUTIONISTS WIN
The Government of Nicaragua
Practically Overthrown.
nr-rassmrrr ZAVALLA A‘VIGTOR.
[he Bevolutionlsts in Possession of the
Nicaragua Canal, and the United States
Steamer Alliance Ordered foJoin the
Atlanta in Protecting Our Interests. ,
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The Nicaraguan
revolutionists have practically overthrown
the government and are in " complete
posession of the Nicaragua canal. A dis-
patch received at the state department
tells of the victorious progress of the
revolutionary forces and indicate the
complete overthrow of the late adminis-
tration.
The dispatch received by Secretary
Gresham was sent from San Juan del 8111‘,
a port on the west coast of Nicaragua, by
Mr. Newall, who is consul at Managua,
the capital of the country. He, states in
his message that no communication is to
be had with the cable office. and it is pre-
sumed from this that he was obliged to
send his dispatch from Managua to San
Juan del Sur by mail or messenger in 01-
der that it might reach the state depart—
ment quickly.
Mr. Newall’s dispatch 15 in substance as
follows:
“The revolution commenced Apxil 2S,
headed by err-President Zavalla. The
revolutionists hold, Greneda, Managua.
del Norte. They are well armed, even
having a. good supply of Gatling guns.
The government forces number 2,000,
poorly organized and led, while the revo-
lutionists number from 3, 000 to 5, 000, com-
manded by prominent generals. The gov-
ernment forces made three unsuccessful
attacks on Managua. Martial law has
been declared and a decree has been issued
for a forced loan of $600,000.”
It is learned from another authentic
, scource that the revolutionists are in pos
session of the Nicaragua canal,-and it was
on this information and that contained in
the dispatch from Mr. Newall that Secre-
tary Gresham applied to Secretary Her-
bert for another v essel to be sent to Nica-
rag us.
The Atlanta, now at New York, has al-
ready been ordered to Greytown on the
east coast, but as the revolutionary move-
ment is nearer the west coast, in the
neighborhood of the capital, it was deemed
best to dispatch a vessel to that part of the
country. Accordingly orders were sent by
telegraph to the commander cf- the Al-
liance at San Francisco, directing him to
proceed at once with his vessel to a point
on the west coast.
No grave fears are enter. dined in official
quarters that trouble will result from the
possession of the Nicaragua canal by the
revolutionists. From the information con-
tained 'in Mr. Newall’s despatch it is
evident that the revolutionary forces have
almost complete control of afiairs and
speedy recognition from the United States
will follow' a demand for such action.
Nevertheless this government has deemed
it best to be. on the safe side, and all steam
will be used by the Atlanta and the
Alliance 1n making their journeys south-
ward.
Valuable storeho'uses belonging to the
Nicaragua Canal company are lOcated at
both ends of'the canal and a. number of
ships are, according to another"-'dispatch
received, under the control of the forces of
ex-President Zavalla. It is deemed im—
practicable to send a force of United States
marines to guard the canal for its full
length, but some. such action would prob-
ably have been taken had the revolution-
ists obtained control of the canal before
their ultimate victory became-- assured.
The likelihood of severe fighting between
the opposing forces along the banks of the
canal. with the chances in favor “of great
damage being done to property of the canal
company would have caused this govern-
ment to make some display of an armed
force from one end 01 the canal to the
other.
Dr Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister,
was not at all disturbed when shown the
state department advices from Consul
Newall, at Nicaragua, regarding the suc
cess Of the revolutionists. Dr. Guzman
said that be had received acablegram from
his government saying that the govern-
ment had enough troops to quell the
revolutionists, and the trouble would
ultimately end by the comblete over-.
throw of the disturbers.
