Nicaraguan military officials also said they won an important victory in the fighting, saying their forces killed 63 rebels of the forces of Eden Pastura, a former Sandista hero known as Commander Zero.
tionary Alliance, or ARDE, claimed on their clandestine Radio 15 de Septiembre that 172 Sandistaña solved in the past seven days of fighting.
BOTH SIDES IN THE Nicaraguan fighting normally inflate casualty figures and it was not immediately possible to confirm them.
The government newspaper, Barricada, reported that the rebels were driven from Punta Gorda, 170 miles southeast of Managua on the Caribbean coast, toward their bases in Costa Rica.
Pastora and other ARDE officials
launched a diplomatic offensive yesterday with a visit to Washington to appeal for funds needed to maintain a strong presence, amounting to some $2 million a month.

Salvadoran guerrillas are said in 'quandary' over democracy
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — U.S. BAMASSADOR Thomas R. Pickering said yesterday that El Salvador's scheduled March presidential elections leftist guerrillas in a "quandary" over their commitment to democracy.
Pickering, in an interview, said the United States understood the risks involved in undertaking presidential elections March 25, but added that the balloting would also create problems for rebels who have rejected the vote
"The guerrillas are in a quandary," Pickering said. "If, on the one hand, they say nothing about the elections, people will assume their position in favor of democracy has changed."
"ON THE OTHER hand, if they choose to shoot down the elections, which would be tragic, they will once again be committing themselves against the electoral process," he said.
On the battlefield, guerrillas occupied six towns and took control of a 3-mile stretch of the Pan American Highway, cutting the country's main east-west route, military and civilian sources said.
Defense Ministry spokesman, Col. Ricardo Cienfuegos, said combat between rebel and army units erupted at dawn on the highway about 57 miles east of San Salvador. There were no immediate casualty reports.
Rebels occupied the defended towns of Lolotique, Nueva Guadalupa, San Buena Ventura, Chinameca, Nueva Granada and Jucuapa, in the Usulitan
IN 1982, rebels launched attacks during Constituent Assembly elections but failed to prevent 1.4 million Salvadorans — about 80 percent of the country's eligible voters — from casting ballots.
Guerrilla leaders later conceded they had made serious tactical and public relations errors.
