MANY CITIZENS KILLED Women and Children Among Victims or Battle Fury Government Is nesting, Making Xo Effort to Pursue Enemy. MANAGUA. Friday. Aug. 16. (De layed In Transmission.) In the four days' battle bteween Insurgents under Generals Mena and Zeledon and gov ernment troops commanded by General Emilio Chamorro for the possession of Managua. the Nicaraguan capital, which began with a bombardment on Sunday and ended In a victory for the defenders, the government forces lost 14 men killed and 125 wounded. The Insurgent casualties are estimated at between 400 and 500 men killed or wounded. In addition several non-combatants. Including women and children, lost their lives. The hospitals are filled with wounded. Many citizens who were wounded by the bursting missiles have since died in the Improvised In firmaries. Marines Restore Confidence. . The battle ended Wednesday night, when, after a brief repulse, the rebels retired in some disorder to Massayu, capital of a department of the same name to the south of Managua. The government has made no effort to pur sue the Insurgents and is allowing Its forces to recuperate. The battalion composed of three com panies of American marines, under command of Major Sraedley I). Butler, which arrived here Thursday by way of Corlnto to reinforce the smaller de tachment of American bluejackets, landed previously to protetct the lives and property of Americans, was tho cause of great relief to the Nicaraguan government and to Americans and other foreign residents aa well as to citiiens. The situation at the capital on Tues day and Wednesday was horrible, and the arrival of American reinforcements ra.rnrDyi cnnnnVnce and turned the despondency of the populace into re joicing. Inhabitants In Panic. Inhabitants of the town were In a veritable nervous panic Wednesday fol lowing the desperate attack made by the insurgents Tuesday and early Wednesday morning, when they nearly broke through the line of government troops, the dread of the natives being increased by the hall of shells with which the rebels showered the city all Tuesday and all day Wednesday. Two thousand or more of the population fled, as many as possible to the trains, the poorer class taking to the .fields north of the town out of range of the bursting missiles. During the bombardment shells struck the residence of an American official and the building in which are the offices of an American commercial company, and also penetrated the, dwelling of the British Vice-Consul, Albert J. Martin, and the offices of an English banking concern. The occu pants of these structures were not ln 1 ired, though their escape was almost miraculous. All the Americans and other foreign residents of the city are safe. The Americans In charge of the customs house, railroads and banks remained at their posts while the fighting was in progress. The uprising yesterday of Liberals in Leon, a department to the north of Managua, has been suppressed. v-, ett 7nti In thin cltv on Sun day evening, September 1.
