The American sailors and marines now on Ncaraguan soil were landed with view to opening communication between the beleaguered capital and corinto and protecting American lives and interests. They also have been at work repairing the railroad tracks, bridges and tele- graph lines destroyed by the revolu- tionists
 As far as has been reported officially the American forces in the Central Amer ican republic have had no further trouble with the insurgents than to warn them that excesses would not be tolerated. The nearnest approach to a brush oc- cured at Leon, where Commander Ter hume of the gunboat Annapolis. who was taking force of 500 Americans from Managua to Corinto. had to threaten tne hostile liberals that he would attack Leon If they attempted to bar the train carry ing his men from entering the town. The liberals then made no further ob- jection and Commander Terhune entered and passed through Leon and proceeded to Managua.
