GIRLS IN A REVOLUTION.
RESCUE OF A LADIES' COLLEGE FROM STARVATION. According to unconfirmed advices from Managua, Nicaragua, American marinos recently succeeded in reaching Granada and relieving from threatened starvation fifty daughters of foreign residents who for some time past had been imprisoned in a girls' college. An opportune arrival of the United States forces happily ended a reign of terror established by General Mena, the rebel leader, formerly Secretary for War. It is asserted that General Mena subjected to torture two brothers-in-law of Senor Pedro Cuodro, the Minister of Finance, who addressed heartrending appeals to Admiral Southerland, commanding the American forces, informing him that General Mena's soldiers were hunting his wife, who was in danger of capture and torture. Admiral Southerland immediately took command of two detachments of "marines despatched under Majors Butler and Baker to reliovo Granada.
