LAND At LAGUNA
ASSAULT ON AMERICAN NEGRO
RESULTS IN ENERGETIC
MEASURES.
AUTHORITIES PUT N IRONS
COMMANDER FUlLAM ORDERS
ARREST OF POLICE AND
SOLDIERS.

Puerto Coriez, May 5.-A negro for
merly from Boyce Station, La, named
General" Davis, and now q fruit in.
spector for the Thacker Brothers
line. was brutally beaten at La Lssuaa
by Nicaraguan soldiers and police. Dis.
Wis was talking with three other Amer.
lean negroes and was set upon because
he would not tell the police what they
were talking about.
Physicians were called and within
ten minutes the bluejackets Of the Ms.
rietta, under Ensign Bersach. were ca
the spot.
Takes Prompt Action.
Commander Fullam's orders were
sharp and decisive:
ARREST the chief Of police and the
policemen engaged in the assault. III.
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 at.
tempt would be made to release the
soldiers and police captured by the
bluejackets, so men were landed from
the Paducah to occupy La Laguna and
additional men were landed from the
Marietta.
The Paducah moved TO position
fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels,
while the Marietta covered the Guar
tells in the port.
Fuiiam ls Energetic.
Commander Fullam, finding that the
civil authorities were incapable Of
maintaining regulations or order: that
the government Of Tegucigalpa was q
mere provisional agreement OF certain
leaders that so far gave no evidence Of
stability. decided to ignore the author.
tiles and recognize the only organized
and disciplined force here under Gen
Estrada.
The Nicaragua officers and men
we're therefore delivered by order TO
Gen. Estrada, who was advised that
they would be held responsible.
vii! Punish Guilty.
Notice also was served on the Hon.
duran and Nicaraguan authorities that
PREPARATION would be demanded.
Commander Fullam says that if Da.
Wis dies the perpetrators will be tried
for murder, presumably by court-mar-
tial, and the guilty ones hung at the
yard.arm in front of the port. The
Paducah was ready to sail for 'Ceiba
and Truxillo. BIZ: will now remain
here.
Guatemala Defies Mexico.

that Guatemala will refuse Mexico
request for the extradition OF Gen.
Jose Lima, charged with completely in
the assassination Of Gen. Manuel l..
Barrillas, while the latter was under
the protection of the Mexican govern
ment.
Upon receipt Of this advice, Mexico
will recall her representative and the
United States will do likewise"
