Washington, May 18 (#) — The killing of a marine corps captain and a private in a clash with Nica- raguan liberals at La Paz Centro, Neo Leon, marks the first fatalities in action among the force of Amer- ican marines sent to Nicaragua soon after the outbreak of civil war between the Diaz conserva- tives and the Sacasa liberals, There have been numerous fin- stances where American patrols and airplanes have been fired upon, but in all cases they escaped unin- jured. In a number of instances the marines returned the fire and dis- persed the attackers without diffi- culty. When Henry L. Stimson, dent Coolidge's representative Nicaragua, announced plans whichit was hoped a state of t quillity might he produced in N ragua, there were predictions in some quarters that some of those ! who dcclined to disarm might pro- voke hostilities involving American troops.
