AMERICAN MUST Be
GIVEN FAIR PLAY.
Uncle Sam Watches Over Soldier
of Fortune Captured by
Madriz' Forces
Press1

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The state
department has acted promptly in the
case of William Pitman, an American
engineer, who is said to have been cap
tured by the MadriZ forces While
operating with the Estrada army.
The following is a paraphrase of tel
egrams sent by the state department
today to the American cOnsulates at
Managua and Bluetelds and to Com
mander Gilmer of the Paducah:
There is a newspaper report IRON
San Juan del Sur to the effect that
William p. Pitman, an American ciu-
zen, who is alleged to have laid mines
while operating with the Estrada
forces, has been made a prisoner by
the Madriz forces and is about to be
tried by courtmartial 1t is unneces-
sary to point out that this government
will jealOusly scrutinize the treatment
accorded him, which must be humane
and regular. You will Immediately
make inquiry and report to the depart
ment."
The complete rout of the Madriz
forces is shown by belated kilograms
received at the state department.
These kilograms confirm the reports
of the total defeat Of the troops operat-
ing in the neighbOrhood of Rama.
All dispatches received the last few
days from the east coast of Nicara-
qua indicate the Madriz armies at
Bluefclds and at Rama practically
have been destroyed and that the end
of fighting on the east coast at least
seems to be in sight.

NEGRO SOLDIER
ATTACKS WOMAN
Man of Brownsville Battalion
Runs Amuck from Fort
LaWton at Seattle
Associated Press1

SEATTLE, June A negro, de-
scribed as a soldier belonging to the
Twenty-f1fth infantry, attacked Mrs.
j. w. Redding tonight at her home on
Shilshole place. near near Fort Lawton.
Mrs. Redding sustained a severe cut on
the face and suffered greatly from
nervous shock. The screaming of her
children, one of whom witnessed the
attack, frightened the negro away, and
he has not been arrested.
According to Mrs. Redding's story,
the man, wearing a soldiers uniform,
appeared early in the evening and de-
manded something to eat. She re-
fused to give him anything and locked
the door in his face. Later she heard
a knock at the door, and upon open
ing it found herself facing the same
negro, who had removed his coat.
Without speaking, he grabbed her
throat and tore at her face. One Of
Mrs. Redding's children heard the dis
turbance and ran screaming into the
room, whereupon the negro fled.
While the officers from Fort Lawton
were investigating the attack, they
learned that the home of w. W. Robin
son, on the same street, had been en-
tered and the interior wrecked, pre-
sumably by the man who ran amuck
and attacked Mrs. Redding.
All the members of the Twenty-fifth
infantry stationed at the fort will be
mustered tomorrow morning and pa
raded before Mrs. Redding and her
daughter. who will be given an OPP
porrunity to identify the assailant.
The battalion stationed at Fort Law
ton is the one that was involved in
the Brownsville disturbance. although
the personnel is entirely different.
Several weeks ago a woman was at
tackled on the street by negro, who,
she said, was a soldier but when the
fort troops were paraded before her
she exonerated every man, and the
matter was dropped.
