5000 REBELS READY
ANOTHER ATTACK WILL BE
MADE ON MANAGUA.
Leaders of Insurrectos URGE Men to
Fight, With Promises of loot
if Capital Falls.

Managua, Nicaragua, Aug. 19.-Urg-
ing on their men with promises of loot
and rapine if this city falls, the rebel
leaders, Mena and Zeledon, are pre-
pairing for another attack on Ma
nagua.
They have gathered all their forces,
amounting to about 5000 men, at Mas
saga, thirty miles south of Mana qua,
and as the government is not strong
enough to force the fighting, are TAX
ing plenty of time for undisturbed
preparations.
The hospitals here are caring for
the 125 wounded in the four days bonn
bardment and government bulletins
insist that only fourteen federals were
killed, but that nearly 500 rebels were
killed This is not generally credited,
either by natives or foreigners. So
far as known, no Americans were in
iured, largely due to the presence Of
American marines, who were rein
forced by the arrival of battalion
under Major Smedley D. Butler. They
are Quartered at the legation. Offices
of the British consulate, the American
Commercial Enterprise company and
the residences of several foreign Off
Gals show the effects of bursting

While the situation arising from the
