About the middle of the night the In dians made a clever attack on the bluff where the Nicaraguan troop* were quar tered, nnd, driving them off, captured all the arms and ammunition and l'ortl- lled themselves In Uie stronghold which Lueuyo hud hulk. A band of Indians, commanded by Clarence himself, em barked on a flat boat ami stealthily moved around the bluffs till they were directly opposite (hem and before the Bentrlea were aware, of what was going on opened lire on them, and the troops, who had been suddenly called to arms. The Nicaraguan* were so surprised, .however, that they were unable to make any defense and fled. The next moraine the Marblehead lauded itfty marines and quartered them noar the international Club to protect American Interests. This was deemed necessary owing to the hostil ity uf tuff Spaniards, who attributed the midnight attack to Incitement of Ameri can residents. Thd commander himself worked hard trying to gather together hta demoralized forces and sent to the Interior by couriers for reinforcements. After the landing of the marines there were nu inure hostilities, though tho HI- cllan* were still In possession br the bluffs.
