that the law greatly benefits tlie

Tho state department's request that
soldiers be pent to Nicaragua sets nn
important precedent in America's
relations with the Latin republics.
Early in July Nicaragua confessed
inability to cope with General Menu,
commander of the revolutionary
forces, and asked America's assist
ance in maintaining peace, hence tlie
"invasion." ThiV, diplomats here
suy, docs not constitute an unfriendly
act.
The Tenth Infantry will sail for
Corinto either tonight or 'early to
morrow aboard a Pacific Mail
steamer. Landing at Corinto, tbo
troops will be placed at the disposal
ot United States Minister Weitzcl.
The state department this after
noon termed the tacties employed byr
General Mcnn, the Nicaraguan revo-'
lutionary leader, in his campaign as
barbarous.
