j. S. MARINES
IN BLUEF|ELDs
Throw Line Around American Con-
sulate as Estrada and Madriz
Forces Face Each Other.

BLUEFlELDS. May 20.-Marines
with machine guns from the United
States gunboat Paducah. today threw
up line OF defense about the Ameri-
can consulate here and will remain on
duty until the impending crisis In the
Nicaraguan war Is passed. The con-
sulate commands the main street or
Bluehelds. The Madriz and Estrada
armies are facing each other within
three miles OF the city. Outpost fight
ing was started this morning and tho
deciding conflict will undoubtedly
soon be In progress.
Two divisions OF the Estrada forces,
slow In taking up their last lines Of
defense yesterday, were attacked by a
Madriz division. The skirmish lasted
more than an hour before the Estrada
forces could retreat successfully and
the losses will probably reach 100
men. about so dead on each side.
The American citizens have taken
refuge near the American consulate
and the bluejackets have been sta
toned about the public square Ameri-
cans fear the marines will not be able
TO awe the Madriz forces into remain
ing out OF the city. The MadriZ fac
ton claims that Americans really
started the revolution and say they
will sack the city In this event the
marines would be forced to fight a
force greatly outnumbering them.
The Madriz gunboat Venus, which
was driven from the Bluefelds harbor
yesterday by the Paducah, landed 800
soldiers below the city last night,
strengthening the Madriz army.

CROWD At FIGHT
CRIES. 'FAkE!"
Billy Papke Knocks Out Joe Thomas
in 10th Round After Much
Sailing.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 2o.-If Billy
Papke is anxious to meet Stanley
Ketchel again for the middleweight
championship, he will have to show
more than he did last night when
he knocked out Joe Thomas In the
sixteenth round OF what was schedul-
ed to have been 20-round fight In
the Dreamland rink. Fight fans who
Witnessed the encounter left disgust
ed. There were boots and catcalls for
both men for their Indifferent fight
ing.
The fight seemd to the outsider to
have ben so arranged that Thomas
should last for fifteen rounds. Both
Thomas and Papke loafed through the
first fifteen rounds. AS early as the
seventh there were cries OF fake. but
Referee Jack Welch refused to put
an end TO the fight. The men were
stalling palpably, rushing into clinches
wherever possible. In the sixteenth
round. Papke came out OF his lethargy
and put Thomas TO sleep without
trouble. though Thomas did seem 10
drop more from exhaustion than from
punishment he received.
