ARCH AT VALLEY FORGE.
Contract for Memorial Awarded
0onditionally to Henry L. Brown.

After long consideration involving much
correspondence, the Secretary of War
has awarded the contract for the con-
struction Of the Washington memorial
arch at Valley Forge. Pa. to Henry L.
Brown, provided he reduces his bid of
$92, 800 to meet certain notifications in
the original design to bring the cost

gressional appropriation of 100000. In
taking that action, the War Department

which Brown proposed to use, was the
most suitable stone for the memorial, and
was favored over all others by Paul P.

mortal. His design was approved by the
commission of fine arts. Maj. Herbert
Deakyne, Corps of Engineers. Is charged

South Carolina negro, appeared before a
congressional committee contesting the
seat of George S. Legare. democrat. The

TWO AMERICANS EXECUTED
BY NlCARAGUAN REBELS
Killed During Massacre by Frenzieo
RebeIs-AIthough Wounded, They
Are Not Spared.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The massa-
ere of the loyal Nicaraguan troops
sent to defend the town of Leon Is
fully confirmed in belated cablegram
received on Thursday from the Ameri-
can legation at Managua, dated Au-
gust 10. The affair was even more
disastrous to the government forces
than originally reported. The state
department has instructed Minister
-Weitzel at Managua to investigate the
deaths of two Americans named
Phillips and Harvey Dodd, the latter
from Kosciusko, Miss, who was re-
ported to have been murdered by the
rebels at Leon.
According to the report received at
the state department, Dodd and Phil
lips were fighting with the govern
ment troops In the defeat they were
taken to a hospital badly wounded.
where they were killed in the massa-
ere which followed.
The murders, though not entirely
parallel, recall the killing of Cannon
and Groce by Zelaya in 1909, which
resulted in an upheaval that threw
the dictator out of Office and sent MIN
to European exile. The state depart
ment is pressing for more informa
