US. MARINES UNDER FIRE
Force Landed in Nicaragua
Present at Bombardment.
AMERICAN BRAVERY SHOWN
Gunboat Annapolis Remains at
Corinto to Protect it from
Threatened Attack.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Aug. 1s-The American
marines landed last week at Corinto
greatly relieved what Is characterized as
"a very distressing situation AZ
Managua, the capital OF Nicaragua. and
showed remarkable bravery under the
heavy and we'll directed fire OF the reyo-
lutionary forces during the bombardment
OF the city, according to dispatch which
reached the Department OF State from
Minister George Weitzel to-day.
More than one thousand dead are
strewn over the field about the capital.
and the danger OF a serious pestilence
threatens. II is almost certain that this
government will take steps to afford re-
lief for the suffering and non-combatants,
as a grave condition exists. Hundreds OF
refugees have sought safety at Corinto.
Women and children were wounded dur
ing the attack on Managua. as the firing
was directed at a crowded church and
the city hospital. In addition 20 other
places OF public assembly.
Minister Weitzel reports that the fact
that the rebels are in possession OF
large amount of war material indicates
that General Mena has received strong
financial support from some quarter
Large quantities Of ammunition were
brought from Granada and Mssaya by
the rebels, he says. When the rebels
were driven back by the Americans they
retired to the latter places.
The authorities fear an attack or
Corlnto. and considerable alarm is feli
at that port, although the gunboat An
napolis. under command of Captain
Warren J. Terhune, is there to afford
protection Telegraphic communication
between Corinto and Managua has been
cut off, and Chinandega has been at
tackled by the rebels.
There Is a concentration OF the reYo-
lutionary forces at Leon, notwithstanding
the fact that four hundred government
troops from Managua arrived there on
Friday TO strengthen the garrison. The
Liberals there are reported TO be armed.
While the arrival Of the marines az
Managua temporarily relieved the situa-
ton, 1t Is believed that General Mens
will make another attack on the city, In
the hope OF gaining control before fur
ther American aid arrives.

At the offices of the Chinese Consul
General and the two Chinese daily
newspapers no news OF an attack upon

dence. Cable messages were dispatched
to Peking, however. inqulring as 10 the
safety of the former revolutionary
leader.

Chinatown DR.. Sun had left Shanghai
for Peking yesterday to undertake 10
save the republic from a threatened
renewal OF hostiities as the result
Of the execution of Generals Chang
Chen-wu and Aengwei.
Or. Sun-Fo, a son Of Or. Sun Vat

no verifcation Of the rumor that his
father had been assassinated. The

the report but believed that II an at

Company. When arrested on June %
while lunching at the Carlton Hotel with
a woman named Jeanne Mccormick. he
denied he was Arnstein. and gave the
name OF James Wilfred Adair, but Don

Persch was indicted for connection
with the theft OF the Heinze securities
and az an accomplice in a sick engi-
neer'' game. by which William Shinks.
OF Hartford. Conn. was mulcted OF f15.Ono.

evidence before granting the extradition

that Flood and Riley went to London to

men. however. gave themselves up and
sailed for New York before they could
