BIG STICK" STRIKES QUICKLY
Negro Citizen Of the United States I:
Brutally Treated.
His AsSailants Find Themselves In
Irons on Short Notice and on
Board of One of Uncle

Puerto Cortez, April %, via Mobile,
Ala, May About o'clock on the
evening Of April 81 a negro formerly
from Boyce Station, La, named Gener-
al Davis, q fruit inspector for the
Thacker Bros steamship line, was
standing quietly near the railroad sta
tioR at La Laguna, where the shops OF
the railroad are situated, talking with
three or four other negro companions,
also from the United States. A drunk
en- Nicaraguan soldier armed with
machete approached the party, and
without any provocation demanded to
know what they were talking about.
Negro Is BrutaIly Attacked.
Davis replied that it was none of his
business, whereupon the Nicaraguan
soldier drew his machete and raised 1t
over Davis, who clasped his arms
around the man and finally took away
the weapon, threw it upon the ground
and went to a house nearby A COM
panion of the Nicaraguan soldier ran
to Quartet, and police station and
squad of police and Nicaraguan sol
diers surrounded the house and
dragged Davis out, and was carrying
him toward the Quartet. AS no at
tempt had been made to arrest the
Nicaraguan soldier Davis asked the
squad why they did not arrest the
Nicaraguan. In reply the party cursed
and beat him brutally over the head
and body until Davis was unconscious.
Threw Him Down in the Sun.
The soldiers and police carried his
body to the Quartet. Finding blood
flowing from the nose, mouth and ears,
and believing that Davis was dying,
they then carried the body back to the
spot where they had knocked him down
and threw it upon the ground The ne
gro companions of Davis asked the
soldiers to permit them to carry him
out of the sun until medical assist
ance arrived, but they were cursed and
told to let him lay there. Physicians
were called and found him badly
bruised on the head and body and still
unconscious.

SEQUEL is MIGHTY SUDDEN
BeIligerent Nicaraguans Find Them
selves in Irons Very Quickly.

Within ten minutes the bluejackets
of the Marietta under Ensign Rorsach
were on the spot. General Fullam's
orders were sharp and decisive. "Ar-
rest the chief of police and the police
men engaged in the assault, put them
in irons and send them aboard ship;
arrest the Nicaraguan officers and men
engaged in the assault and hold them
for orders" 1t was thought possible
that an attempt would be made to
release the soldiers and police cap
tured by the bluejackets, so men were
landed from the Paducah to occupy
Laguna, and additional men were
landed from the Marietta.
The Paducah moved to a position
fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels, while
the Marietta covered the cuartels i'll
the port Captain Fullam, finding that
the civil authorities were incapable Of
maintaining regulations or order; that
| the government Of Tegucigalpa was a
mere provisional agreement of certain
leaders that so far gave no evidence
of stability, decided to ignore the
authorities here and recognize the only
organized and disciplined force here
under General Estrada, commanding
the Nicaraguan forces, who had in
the meantime returned from an out
| ing.
The Nicaraguan officers and men ar
rested were delivered by Captain
Fullam's order to General Estrada,
who was advised that they would be
| held responsible. Notice also was
served on the Honduran and Mica
raguan authorities that reparation
would be demanded and punishment
should be inflicted upon all Of the
perpetrators of the outrage. Com
manCler Fullam, of the Marietta, says
that If Davis dies the perpetrators will
be tried for murder. presumably by
court martial, and the guilty ones hung
at the yard arm in front of the port.
