An Aasoclatod Press dispatch says:
The policy of tho United States in
its relation with revolution-torn little
neighbors in Central .' n.orica and tho
West Indies is clearly defined in an
instruction from tho state depart
ment embodied in a note sent by
Minister Weitzel to tho Nicaraguan
government, the text of which was
made public recently by Acting Sec
rotary of State Huntington Wilson.
Tho communication is expected to
create a profound sensation in Latin
America, for while it was addressed
to Nicaragua, it will bo recognized as
a general warning.
America's purpose, the instruction
declares, is to foBtor true constitu
tional government and free elections
and to this end strong moral support
would be given to established gov
ernments against revolutions based
upon the selfish designs of would-be
despots and not upon any principle
or popular demand. Force will be
used, if necessary, in maintaining
free communications with and to
protect the American ministries and
legations. This policy already has
been adopted in San Domingo, Pana
ma and Honduras.
Minister Woitzel was directed to
present his instructions officially to
the Nicaraguan government and un-

officially to the revolutionists in that
country and make it public as an
authorized declaration of policy.
An Associated Press report says:
Severe fighting between American
naval forces and Nicaraguan revolu
tionists is believed to have occurred
in the last few days near Barranca,
although reports from the scene are
so meager that officials here liave
no definite idea of what has hap
pened. Rear Admiral Southerland
is in the field, probably with upwards
of 2,000 men, and if plans have not
miscarried, by" this time he has
cleared the route of the National
railway of opposing rebels and re
lieved the famine-threatened city of
Granada.
European attention to affairs in
Nicaragua at this time is believed to
bo one of tho possibilities of the
situation. The Washington govern
ment,' in .sending relief to the be
leaguered city, Granada, populated
by many foreigners, had hoped to
avoid any pretext for landing Euro
pean military or naval forces on
Central American soil.
The British consul general at
Managua and the British vice con
sul at Matagalpa have reported two
British subjects murdered by the
rebels at Achuapa. It is expected,
however, the British government be
fore taking action on its own ac
count, will await the results of the
American campaign.
A delayed cablegram from Ad
miral Southerland, dated Managua,
11 o'clock p. m., September 17, and
reporting that American bluejackets
and marines were fired upon as they
attempted to open the railway,
reached the inavy department. De
layed reports said the Granada re
lief party had been fired upon; that
the officer in command had halted
and sent to Managua for reinforce
ments, and that Admiral Souther
land had gone to the rescue with
two companies of marines and a de
tachment of sailcfrs. "Whether or not
there was more firing from the
rebels before the additional Ameri
can force arrived, is not known, but
it is possible the brush referred to
in the dispatch received was, the one
that took place Sunday.
Upon his arrival at Barranca Ad
miral Southerland sent word to Gen
eral Zeledon, one of the rebel lead
ers that he proposed to open the rail
road, to Granada and keeD it open
and that he would give the rebels
just twenty-four hours to clear the
front.
While Zeledon hesitated General
Mena, the former secretary of war of
Nicaragua and the principal leader
in the revolution, came northward
from Granada with another large
force of rebels and joined him. After
a consultation they sent a formal
defiance to Admiral Southerland, an
nouncing their purpose to oppose his
advance.
It is not known exactly how many
sailors or marines composed tho ad
miral's force at that rimo Ti. ti t
believed that it did not exceed three
or four hundred men. At any rate,
in view of the large numbers of
rebels in his front and unwilling
to run the risk of even temporary
defeat, the admiral called for rein
forcements from Managua, where It
iSK5AlieVfid there were stni about
1,500 sailors and marines available
so as to make sure of overpowering
any opposition that the rebels might
offer. That was the situation when
the last cablegram was dispatched
from Managua.
