AMERIGAN MARINES FIGHT HOT BATTLE One Killed in Routing Nicara- guan Rebels Managua, Nicaragua, July 18 (@ —Another brilliant achievement has been written into the annals of the United States marines through their ccessful defense of Ocotal agalnst e recalcitrant liberal general, Sandino, who recently flouted the authority of both Nicaragua and “he United States. The battle was as flerce an en- :agement as has ever been recora- ©d in Nicaraguan history. It con- nued for 17 hours until Sandino’s followers, numbering 400 nd armed with machine guns, 'vere badly beaten yesterday and lispersed by tke marines, whose forces numbered 39, and Nicaraguan constabulary to the number of 47. The latest government reports show that 100 of the rebels were killed by the joint forces of ma- rines and constabulary and 200 killed by the terrific = the five planes sent from Managua, 110 miles to the south, by Brig- adier General Logan Feland of the marines, when he heard the ma- rine force was greatly outnumbered. The planes flew low and raked the rebels. One Marine Killed One marine, Michael A. Obelski, of Roulette, Pennsylvania, was killed. He was buried at Ocotal. An- other marine, Charles Sidney Gar- rison, of Asheville, N. C, was se- riously wounded, being shot through the face and shoulder. He has a chance to recover. One member of the constabulary, which was under command of Lieutenant Grover Darnell, was seriously wounded. Boasting that he would “drink Yankee blood,” Sandino led his fol- lowers to the attack Friday morn- ing. No news of the encounter was received at Managua until two scouting planes came from Ocotal reporting that Sandino was attack- ing the place and the fighting was intense. General Feland immediate- ly despatched the five bombing planes, under Major Ross E. Row- ell, and it was probably the arrival of these planes that saved the day. After the fighting had been in progress for several hours, Sandino sent a messenger to Major G. D. Hatfield, in command of the marines at Ocotal, requesting a 60-minute truce. Major Hatfield replied that the truce would last only so long s the bearer of the white flag was | in sight. Greatly Handicapped The Americans were greatly handicapped, as Ocotal is a rebel center, many sympathizers having grms and Ammunition hidden in their houses. When the fighting be- gan more than 100 joined Sandino, and there was considerable sniping. Lientenant Bruce soon captured and cleaned out all snipers According to a government re- port, a conservative senator living in Ocotal, Jose Maria Paguaca, was murdered by the rebels while seek ing safety. Ramiriz Abuanza, poli- tical chief of Ocotal, was wounded in the left arm during the fighting. General Sandino did not get into the thickest part of the fighting, directing his forces from a safe dis- tance. Latest reports said he was fleeing to the northeast with a few followers. Among the rebel dead is General Marina, Sandino’s right- hand man. General Feland commended Major. Hatfield and Major Roweli for. their bravery. The scouting planes proved their worth, for it they had not arrived, with the re- port of the fight against overwhelm- ing odds, a different story might have been written. The telegraph lines had been cut, and they brought the first news, enabling General Feland to send the bomb- ing planes. The flight of the bomb- ing, planes to Ocotal through a ter- rific storm was a brilliant feat. General Feland has given orders for his bombing squadron to de- stroy any concentration of Sandino forces. Tt is stated In government quas- ters that General Sandino, who has heen occupying American mines at San Fernando, and recently refusea to surrender when called upon to do so by Major Hatfield, gathered a strong force by belittling the ma- rines and constabulary, telling his followers there would be no diffi- culty in overwhelming Ocotal. The prevailing belief was that Sandino would never gttack the marines, but the report s that spies in Ocotal advised him of the small number of marines and con- “tabulary there.

The car had proceeded quite a distance from the lake when one of the passengers informed the mo- torman that the eonductor was among the nissing. The car was stopped and a few minutes later the conductor, nearly exhausted after a long pursuit, reached his post. The crew made a canvass of the passengers to learn the identity of the person who had given the signal but, without result. The motorman announced_that he intended to stay there until the practical joker was discovered but several New Britain passengers protested on the ground that they would miss their connec- tion with the last New Britain car at Plainville. The motorman is sald to have thrown the controller handle over so suddenly that a fuse blew out and a girl sitting on the front seat jump- ed off the car.

TRIPLE SHOOTING OCCURS INGOTHAM Woman and Dog Dead and Policeman Badly Wounded New York, July 18 (P—A triple shooting in an upper west side apartment in which/a woman and a poodle were killed and a man seri- ously wounded presented a tangled puzzle to police today.
