REBELS DEFY
u. S. TROOPS
Admiral Switzerland Rushes
Aid to American Forces
Now in Nicaragua.
SITUATION is SERIOUS
Has Suddenly Taken Acute
Turn--SOIdiers Forced
to Fire.

Washington, Sept. 20. - The Mica
raguan situation took a sudden and
acute turn when it became known here
that opposition to the advance Of the
American forces Is threatened by the
rebels at a point between Managua, the
capital, and Granada, the chief rebel
stronghold. Re-enforcements were hur-
ried forward from Managua, with Ad-
miral Switzerland in personal COM
mand, and 1t Is expected that If the
rebels persist IN their opposition an
engagement may take place.
Admiral Southland reported that he
was sending Major McKelvey with a
battalion of marines and Lieutenant
Commander Longs with a company of
bluejackets to reinforce Major Butler,
who started Avr Granada four days
ago. The admiral stated that he was
accompanying the force and also re-
ported that two or three field guns
were being taken along.
According to unofficial advices re-
cefveo nefe, Major Buffers force was
fred on by rebels when his trains ap-
preached Mazaya. Major Butler with
drew and sem a note to Zeledon. the
rebel commander. stating that he de-
sired only to open the railroad to
Granada and that he preferred to do
1t peacefully. He added If no reply
was received from Zeledon by 4 o'clock
he would begin his advance. Zeledon
replied before the hour stated that he
would be glad to talk 1t over with
Major Butler the next morning. From
the fact that re-enforcements are now
being hurried to Major Butler 1t is In
ferred that Zeledon has declined to
permit the Americans to pass peace
fully through Mazaya.

"On July 27. 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking baby with us. After being in Ireland few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to doc tor who gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It irritated, and he would scratch 1t with all his might. The consequence was 1t developed into sores, and we were afraid it would leave nasty scars on his face.
 When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and climate, and gave more medicine. The rash got no better, and 1t used to itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was com pletely covered with 1t at different mother advised us to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti- cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for about nine months the places disap- peared. There are not any scars, or other kind of dishgurement, and baby is completely cured by the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. We have no fur ther trouble with baby's skin. Noth- ing stopped the itching, and allowed baby to sleep but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment" (Signed) Mrs. Margaret Gum, 29 Burrell St.. Rox- bury. Mass. March 12, 1911.

 The next morning Willard sat oppo- site his mother at breakfast. The look on his mothers face soon told the boy an unusual atmosphere was surround ing the family meal, and he became suspicious that he was the cause.
