General Sierra, the retiring president

Santa Barbara, while his generals,
Miguel and Davilla, with 1920 men,
and Generals Carlos and Alvarado,
with 1000 men, are now threatening
Tegucigalpa. the capital of Honduras.
General Sierra is evidently in a
desperate situation as he has sent his
wife into Nicaragua by land after she
had made several Intellectual attempts
to break through General Bonilla's
lines and reach the@ coast. Generals
Villilea and Valleres, who were sup

tried by courtmartial and shot by the
latter's order because they did not
fulfill his instructions and thus
brought about his defeat at Aceituno
several DAYS ago.
