Managua March 21. Natives of Nicaragua under President Zelaya are buying or receiving grants to 3000 to 4000 acre lands in the eastern part of the country. The moves, rising since recent talks between the Isthmian canal commission and the president, suggest a willingness to sell to the United States a belt across Nicaragua surrounding the canal route.
