The bodies came from Pyovince- town aboard the destroyer Maury, after Joseph L. Biben, the first diver to enter the submarine, had found them, fully clothed, in the oil- dimmed water that flooded the en- gine compartment. The cold water had left all three in a good state of preservation. The men appeared to have been drowned rether than suffocated.

Five Children Burn to Death—Father Is Suspected of Arson) BATTLE WITH U.S. MARINES NOT IMMINENT Rebels’ Defeats of Friday and. Saturday More Severe Than at First Reported MARINE LOSSES SMALL Officials Claim Only 14 Were Killed, Including a Few Who Died From Wounds Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 6.—< (AP)—Hard hit by clashes with American marines last Friday and on Sunday, the rebel forces of Au- gustino Sandino are argon | well under cover and no battle is regard- ed imminent at El Chipote, the rebel stronghold, for the present. Colonel Mason Guilick, cemmand- er of the marine forces here, said today that the rebels had not been’ seen for the past few days and that their defeat appeared more severe than was first rej Reinforcements have arrived at all the marine f tinge in Neuva Segovia, scene the fighting, and all is reported quiet in that region. The American wounded will be evac- uated shortly. Sandino is believed to have gone to. El Chipote, which is about 18 miles from Quilali, his captured headquarters, but this is not certain, The marine authorities here to- day refuted statements of Dr. Pedro Zepeda in Mexico City telling of large losses among the marines. The officials said that 14 marines have been killed in combats in Ni since the arrival of the Ami in forces, including two or three whe died from wounds. Dr. Zepeda, who represents himself as being the rep- resentative of Sandino, had declared that his advices from the rebel chief indicated hundreds of casualties among the marines. (Officials at Washington also have denied the truth of Dr. Ze- peda’s assertions.) - REPUBLIC FOUNDED IN NUEVA SEGOVIA Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 5.— (AP)—A republic has been founded in the Nueva Segovia district by General Augustino Sandino, rebel jeadcr, with whom United States Marines are engaged. “ Money has been coined in the name of the republic government and prohibition of intoxicants established with severe penalties. Death is the penalty for a man convicted of sell- ing liquor; a convicted woman's property is burned. The rebel leader changed the name of San Fernando to Sandino when he established the republic. Sandino was a leader in the lib- - eral army commanded by General Jose Maria Moncada, leader of the opposition to the conservative Diaz government. In compliance with an agreement negotiated by Henry L. Stimson, President Coolidge’s per- sonal envoy, the liberal forces laid down their arms last July with the assurance that next August a fair national election would be held, Seizes American Mines Sandino gathered a number of those dissatisfied with the settle- ment about him. He seized and op- erated American mines and levied taxes in the district. Major G. D. Haifield, United States marine corps, sent Sandino an ultimatum demanding that he las down his arms, Sandino' refused to comply or to even discuss the mat- ter. General Moncada, as the lead- er of the official opposition, repu- diated Sandino. Sandino has maintained that the peace settlement was forced upon the liberals by the United States.
