At OUR CONSULATE
Throw Up Live Of Defense And
Will Be On Duty Until
Crisis Is Passed. @.,...

BLUE FIELDs May al.--Marines
with machine guns. from the United
States gunboat Paducah, to-day threw
up a line of defense about the Ameri-
can consulate here, and will remain
on duty until the impending crisis In
Nicaragua Is passed. The consulate
commands the main street of Blue
fields.
The Madriz and Estrada armies are
facing each other within three miles
Of the city. Outposts fighting was
started this morning, and the deciding
conflict will undoubtedly soon be in
progress.
Two divisions OF the Estrada
forces. slow in taking up their lines
OF defense yesterday, were attacked
by Madriz division. The skirmish
lasted more than an hour before the
Estrada forces could retreat sue
cessfully and the losses will prob
ably reach 100 men, about fifty dead
on each side.
American citizens have taken ref
uge near the consulate and the blue
Jackets have been stationed about the
public square, Americans fear the
marines will not be able to awe the
Madriz forces into remaining out of
the city. The Madriz faction claims
that Americana really started the
revolution and say they will sack the
city. In this event the marines will
be forced to fight a force greatly OUT
numbering them.
The Madriz gunboat Venua, which
was driven from the Bluefields har-
Dor yesterday by the Paducah, land
ed three hundred soldiers below the
city last night, strengthening the
Madriz army.
