CORINTO, Jan. S.-A 15-year-old
boy was the sole commanding Off
Ger at the government barracks at
Corinto, Nicaragua, at the time the
United States navy transport Buff
falo arrived at this port with blue
jackets and marines. He had been
left in charge of the barracks by
one of the Nicaraguan generals
who had been summoned to Blue
field, and even though he had only
handful of men to back him up in
case of trouble, he showed a real
love for his country.
During the entire stay of the Buff
falo at Corinto this dark skinned
lad commanded his regiment and
saw to it that the new recruits
were drilled in every way in mill
tary life. Most Of the men in his
command were barefooted, in rags,
and carried rifles that might have
been used during the civil war
The Pacific Mail steamer Penn
sylvania arrived this morning,
bringing as passengers nine men
who left here some time ago on the

lutionary matters in Nicaragua was
furnished by them.
