SUDDEN 'CALL-DOWN'

What Commander Fullam Gavo' Some Very Belligerent Nicaraguan Soldiers. "BIG STICK" STRIKES QUICKLY Negro Citizen of the United States Is Brutally Treated. His Assailants Find Themselves In Irons on Short Notice and on Board of One of Uncle Sam's Gunboats. Puerto Cortez, April 20, via Mobile Ala., May 4. About 5 o'clock on the evening of April 27 a negro formerly from Boyce Station, La., named General Davis, a fruit inspector for the Thacker Bros.' steamship line, was standing quietly near the railroad sta tion at La Laguna, where the shops of the railroad are situated, talking with three or four other negro companions, also from the United States. A drunk en Aicaraguan soldier armed with a machete approached the party, and without any provocation demanded to know what they were talking about. Negro Is Brutally Attacked. Davis replied that it was none of his business, whereupon the Nicaraguan soldier drew his machete and raised It over Davis, who clasped his arms around the man and finally took away the wreapon, threw It upon the ground and went to a house nearby. A companion of the Nicaraguan soldier ran to a cuartel, and police station and a squad of police and Nicaraguan soldiers surrounded the house and dragged Davis out, and was carrying him toward the cuartel. As no at tempt had been made to arrest the Nicaraguan soldier Davis asked the squad why- they did not arrest the Nicaraguan. In reply the party cursed and beat him brutally over the head and body until Davis was unconscious. Threw Him Down in the Snn. The soldiers and police carried his body to the cuartel. Finding blood flowing from the nose, mouth and ears, and believing that Davis was dying, they then carried the body back to the spot where they had knocked him down and threw it upon the ground. The ne gro companions of Davis asked the soldiers to permit them to carry him out of the sun until medical assist ance arrived, but they were cursed and told to let him lay there. Physicians were called and found him badly bruised on the head and body and still unconscious. SEQUEL. IS MIGHTY SUDDEN Belligerent Nicaragnans Find Them selves in Irons Very Quickly. Within ten minutes the bluejacketo of the Marietta under Ensign Rorsach were on the spot. General Fullam'o orders were sharp and decisive. "Arrest the chief of police and the policemen engaged in the assault, put them in irons and send them aboard ship; arrest the Nicaraguan officers and men for orders." It vas thought possible that an attempt would be made to release the soldiers and police cantured by the bluejackets, so men were landed from . the Paducah to occupy Laguna, and additional men were landed from the Marieta. The raducah moved to a position fronting the Nicaraguan cuartels, while the Marietta covered the cuartels iu the port. Captain Fullam, finding that the civil authorities were Incapable of maintaining regulations or order; that the government of Tegucigalpa was a mere provisional agreement of certain leaders that so far gave no evidence of stability, decided to Ignore the authorities here and recognize the only organized and disciplined force here under General Estrada, commanding the Nicaraguan forces, who had in the meantime returned from an out ing. The Nicaraguan ofTicers and men ar rested were delivered by Captain Fullam's order to General Estrada, who was advised that thev would be

held responsible. Notice also was prebiuem oi me lquuaDie iire ajserved on the Ilonduran and Nica- stance society, and ex-secretary of

raguan authorities that reparation would be demanded and punishment should be inflicted upon all of the perpetrators of the outrage. Commander Fullam, of the Marieta, says that If Davis dies the perpetrators will be tried for murder, presumably by court martial, and the guilty ones hung at the yard arm in front of the port. Millionaire's Son Indicted. Ardmore, I. T., May 4. August Busch, son of Adolphus Busch, the St. Louis millionaire brewer, was one of a number of brewers indicted by the grand jury here on the charge of manufacturing a beverage known as "Mistletoe," which, it is said, contains more than the permissible percentaga of alcohol.
