A FAILURE
Revolutionists Successful In Repuls

Hundred of Madriz' Soldiers Killed
in Engagement Reinforcements
Hurried to Scene.
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, May
20. (By wireless to Colon.) Suf
fenng heavy loss, tho government
soldiers who hare been attacking tho
custom house on the bluffs over
looking Blucfields, have been repuls
ed by the revolutionists and have
been forced to fall back. Today they
are marshaling their forces to renew
the attack while the revolutionists,
encouraged by their advantage, are
strengthening their position, ready to
continue the defense of the city.
More than 200 Madriz soldiers
were killed in the engagement and a
largo number wero wounded. The
revolutionists' loss was slight.
The revolutionists who had tho ad
vantage of position and who fought
from behind entrenchments, raked
the government soldiers with a heavy
fire from Hotchkiss and Colt rapid
fire .guns. Although tho government
soldiers fought bravely and repeat
edly charged tho customs house, they
could not dislodge tho revolutionists
and were forced to fall back.
Reinforcements are being hurried
to the attacking party and a fur
ther attempt to seize the customs
houso is feared.
Five hundred Madriz troops en
gaged in the last charge. They were
the men landed by tho gunboat Venus
and reinforced by a small detachment
of the attacking party.
There were many outpost skirm
ishes todny, but it is believed that
there will be no general attack before
tomorrow.
The greater part of the Madriz
troops have fallen back toward
Rama.

Ex-Governor Mooro, who Is inter

terized tho Investigation of Balllnsor
as a "persecution."
Ho wa3 strong In his denunciation
of Plnchot.
Ex-Govornor Moore said In part:
"Our resources belong to thoso who

ndvocato thoso foolish policies of re

Rather than withdraw from ontry the
