Two hundred and eighty men
ERE killed and many wounded in
he fierce three-day battle between
|FConservative and Liberal troops at
kLaguna Las Perlas, eye-witnesses ar
SIriving here reported today.
a The Liberal forces, fighting under
8the colors of DIR. Juan B. Casa, who
Hs recognized by Mexico as president
fof Nicaragua, were victorious in the
ekighting, which terminated early this
week with the retreat of the troops of
RPresident Adolpho Diaz, whose re-
Dgime is recognized by the United
States.
Doctors have already brought 129
wounded from the battlefield to hos
pital camps here. They also brought
the first authentic reports of the
fighting and number Of casualties.
The reports showed the battle was
more severe and the defeat Of the
Conservatives more ignominious
than at first reported.
Seventy-one of the wounded men
brought nere were Liberal soldiers
and fifty-nine were from the Con-
servative ranks. Because of delayed
medical attention, gangrene poison
ing aggravated the condition of
many of the wounded men and their
plight was critical.
