Salvador Gets Advices.
San Salvador. April 24. Several
Ami rican marines have been killed
in Honduras, according to advices
reteived here. An attache of the
American legation in Tegucigalpa is

A dispatch from Amapala says ad
ditional reinforcements for the pro
visional government forces, who are
besieged in Tegucigalpa, have man
aged to slip thru the revolutionary
lines and enter the capital.
Oilier dispatches are to the effect
that none of the political parties in
Honduras cares to shoulder the re
sponsibility of intervening with Sum
ner Welles, representing the Ameri
can government in an endeavor to
briug about peace between the dis
cordant factions.
Washington Not Advised
Washington, April 24. No offi
cial reports had been received to-1

of 167 sailors and nine officers from
the cruiser Milwaukee, at Amapala. 1
lias been at Tegucigalpa, the Hon- 1
duran capital, for several weeks to J
protect the legation and American
life and property generally as a re
sult of revolutionary troubles.
American marines were landed
fome time ago and sent to Teguci
galpa to protect the American con
sulr.ie and American citizens. Re
cently the rebels in Honduras have
been besieging Tegucigalpa and on
Wednesday dispatches from San Sal
vador reported that rebel airplanes
had dropped bombs in the capital.
Larking direct advices, adminis
tration officials declined to dixcuze
the situation put there were indication:-,
that the government would
deal with a firm hand with the sit
uation in Honduras if necessity
should arise.
Landed at Hughes' Request
The landing force from the Mil
waukee wr.s dispatched to the Hon
duran capital, under command of
Commander Causey at the request
of Secretary Hughes after the Hon
duras ministry had proved itself in
capable of maintaining order and
protecting American and other for
eign citizens and other interests.
Drunken soldinrs of the de facto
forces, according to official advices
received here, have shot down many
persons, including women and child-
TY

looted mercantile houses of proper y
I estimated at more man m,uuu,uiu
in value.
The American legation at Teg-:
cigrlpa also have been fired up in
by armed mobs composed chiefly of
drunken soldiers mobilized to defend
that city from the attack of the unit
ed revolutionary forces.
Recent reports from Command r
Causey said the members of

ti Darf aircraft flying over the city.
