Managua, Feb. 18. —According to an offiatel report just issued Gen. Vasquez, the government commander, with 300 troops attacked Gen. Mena Thursday afternoon at San Vincente, some twenty miles east of Acoyapa. The fighting continued until it was stopped by darkness. The troops on both sides slept on their arms until daylight when hostilities were renewed. The result is not stated. Gen. Mena is stated to be at the head of at least 1,200 and it is this that causes some doubt as to tne truthfulness of the report that Gen. Vasques, with only 300 soldiers attacked him. It is stated, however, that Vasques was seeking to prevent a junction between Gens. Mena and Chamorro at Chantales, which was the apparent objective of Gen. Mena. Reinforcements were hurried dispatched to Gen. Vasquez. The political situation is greatly strained, and matters threaten to reach the breaking point. It is reported that the relations between Madriz and Minister-General Bada are such that the latter is likely to retire from office shortly. Lieut.-Commander Symington, who Is the bearer of a letter to Gen. Chamorro .from Rear Admiral Kimball, has failed to find the general at Matagalpa, which lends color to the report he has moved to form a junction with Gen. Mena at Chantales.
