BATTLE To THE
BANDIT BANDS
Rear Admiral Switzerland in
the Field in Nicaragua, With
More Than 1000 Men I'm
der His Command.

~ AsHINGTON. Sept. ao.-Severe
NM fighting between American
WV naval forces and Niesrs guam
revolutiouists is believed to
have occurred in .he last few days near
Barrsnca, although reports from the
scene are so meager that officials here
have no definite idea Of what has hap
pened-
Rear Admiral Switzerland is in the
field, probably with upward Of 5000
men, and If plans have not miscar-
ried by this time, he has cleared the
route OF the national railway of oppos-
ing rebels and relieved the famine
threatened city OF Granada.
European attention TO affairs In
Nicaragua at this time is believed to be
one of the possibilities. The Washing
tor government in sending relief TO
the beleagucred city, Granada, popu'
lated by many foreigners, had hoped
TO avoid any pretext for landing Euro
peau military OF naval forces on Cen
trail American soil.

The British consul general at Man
aqua aud the British vice consul at
Matagalpa have reported two British
subjects murdered bv the rebels at

action on its own account, Will wait the
results of the American campaign,

and that Admiral Southerland had gone

Upon his arrival at Barranca, Adml-

posed to open the railroad to Granada
and keep it open and that he would

1t is not known exactly how many

lievcd it did not exceed three or four
hundred men. At any rate, IN view
of the large numbers of rebels in his
front and unwilling TO run the risk Of

1900 sailors and marines available.
