REBELS BEING
HUNTED BY AMERICANS
Marines and Natives Are After Murder
ers of Two Engineers.


San Pedro de Macoris, Santa Domingo
May 31.-(Correspondence Of the AS,
sociated Press).-Three companies of
United States marines, aide1 by Do
minincan guides, are searching the pro.
vinces Of Macoris and Seibo for Vim
centico Evangelista and his bandits,
whose latest outrage was the killing Of
two American engineers in La Romano
sugar estate two weeks ago
According to information recently
brought here by Dominicans, the band
of Vincentico is dwindling, while he
himself has been seriously wounded in
recent brushes with the marines. That
he is desperate and will fight to the
last the American authorities are GER
tain, for the Dominicans who have
seen him within the last six weeks have
brought back word that he has sworn
to kill every American possible before
he himself Is killed His capture is al
present the one problem that the au
thorities are attempting to solve in or
der to bring the little republic to stat,
of quiet.
This last attack on Americans by
Vincentico has stimulated the carryinf
out Of plans for the formation of DO
minican national guard that will per
form both police and semi-military duty
According TO plans now outlined, thi'
guard is to be made up entirely o
Dominicans, with Americans in com
mand.
