The following 18 a paraphrase of
telegram# aent by the State Depart
ment today to the American conaul
ate at Managua and Blueflelda and to
Commander Ollmer, of the Paducah:
"There Is a newspaper report from
San Juan Del Stir to the effect that

necessary to point out th*t Ala gov
ernment -win Jealously acrutlnise the
treatment accorded him which must
be humane and regular. You will
Immediately make inquiry and report
to the Department." . ?
If any further evidence were need
ed to confirm . the officials here In
their belief that Madrlz la following
cloaely the case of Plttman. It la aald
Plttman poaalbly may auffer * fate
almllar to that which befell Orooce
and Cannon laat November. The In
timation was clearly given the Madrlz
government that oame one would suf
fer If ai)y summary or Irregular ac
tion should be taken against him.
What action thla government will
take will depend largely upon the re
ports from the United States consults
at Msnagua and Blueflelda and from
Commander Gilmer.
Washington, June 47??' The com
plete route of the Madrls forces la
shown by belated telegrams received
at* the State Department.* These tele
grams Confirm the reports of the to
tal defeat of the troops which have
been operating in the neighborhood
of Rama, Nicaragua.
A dispatch rec fired today from
Consul Moffat at Bluefields, dated
last Thursday morning, says that the
whole of the Mad r Is forces operating
In thp vicinity of Rama had.bandoned
their position after several hours of
severe fighting and were in full re
treat, having left many dead and
wounded on the field, and tb*t Gen
eral Mena, in command bf the Estra
da army at Rama was in hot pursuit.
All. dispatches received during the
last several days from the East coast
of Nicaragua Indicate that the Madrlz
armies at Bluefields %ind at Rama
practically have ben destroyed and
that the .end of the fighting on the
East coast, at least, seems to be In
sight.
80 far as known at the .State De
partment the only force which Ma
drlt now has on the East coast, ex
cept the few scattered bands now be
ing pursued by the revolutionary
armies, is on Bluefields Bluff and ft
is problematical whether they will
not be taken prisoners.
