AWAITS OUTCOME OF BATTLE

Result of Clash With insurgents Wil! x Fix Rate of Zelaya. Washington, Dec. 10.—The state department denies reports from London that the United States has sent an ultimatum to President Zelaya demanding his resignation. No action, it is said, has been taken toward dealing with the Nicaraguan situation except such military measures as are necessary to protect American and foreign interests. The state department is awaiting the result of the Impending battle between the government troops and the insurgents forces before formulating its program of action. Officers of the department expect that this conflict will take place shortly near Rama where the revolutionists under General Estrada are occupying strong trenches. ,
