General Moncada n the leader Of the official opposition repudiated Sandino.
 Sandino has maintained that the peace settlement was forced upon the liberals by the United States. He seems to be a radical enthusiast with persuasive powers and at one time styled himself "the wild beast of the mountains" His depreda- tions have won for him the name of bandit and assassin even from mem bers of his own party.
 Engineers and others familiar with the Nueva Segovia region say that his support is not bolshevism but a rising of the people against the suc- cessful and influential, stirred up by political and racial prejudices. These prejudices are partly due, they de- clare. to political opposition to the conservative government of Nicara- qua and partly to the feeling of anti Americanism which is stated to have burst into fresh flame when the ma rines came into the region to estab- fish order.
 Sandino today was believed by the marines and national guardsmen oc- cupying Quilali to be awaiting a fav- orable opportunity to attack his for mer stronghold. the taking and hold ing of which had already cost the lives of six Americans.

friendly smile has conquered them.
 A commission representing each of the seventeen departments of Honduras paid the Lone Eagle final tribute and Gregorio Reyes. repre- senting the department of Olancho. as spokesman ended his speech with 8 note of regret at Lindbergh's' short stay.
 T wish instead Of days. I could stay weeks in Honduras" Lindbergh replied.
 Avoids Battle Fields
 The flyers route today-150 miles lied from Tegucigalpa to Managua, Nicaragua, via Leon. His course was where United States marines are ar rayed against the rebel general Augustine Sandino. No stop was planned for Leon.
 A direct airline from the Hon., duran capital to the Nicaraguan capital would pass over the district where Americans have given their lives in battle against Sandino. Lind bergh was warned to avoid this ter ritory lest Sandino, whose equip ment includes both anti-aircraft and machine guns, should fire upon his plane.
 New Friendship Made
 The flight of Lindbergh has ere ated new and stronger bond of friendship between Honduras and the United States, President Miguel Paz Barahona. said at a. reception in the presidential palace. The presi- dent declared:
 Tn few countries has your recep- tion been as modest as ours, but in few countries could 1t have been more sincere and cordial. By re- ceiving you as the glorious ambassa- dor of the air, believe I interpret tn, sentiments of the Honduran people and my government In tend ering you the homage of our admir- ation and the assurance that your portentous flight across the tropical skies has created a new and strong CT bond of friendship between the noble nation of the United States

and our beloved Honduran father

and our beloved Honduran father land"
 Minister of Finance Julio Lozano presented the flyer with a gold watch as souvenir. Lindbergh looked at it for several minutes smiling as he opened and closed it as if he were playing with toy.
 While Lindbergh was seated on the right hand of the president champagne was served. Lindbergh took the cup given him by the presi- dent with the ever present olive. He raised the glass to those present and slightly touched the champagne with his lips, then ate the olive. The Honduran beauties were sur prised when they learned that Lind bergh did not dance. for all antici- pated dancing with him.
 They did, however, manage to shake the flyers hand at a reception at the city hall where they fought one another for the privilege.
 Managua, Mic. Jan. 5 F)-A re- public has been founded in the Nueva Segovia district by General Augustine Sandno, rebel leader with whom United States marines are fighting.
 Money has been coined in the name of the republican government and prohibition of intoxicants es- tablished with severe penalties. Death is the penalty for a man con- victed of selling liquor: a convicted woman's property is burned.
 The rebel leader changed the name of San Fernando to Sandino when he established the republic.
 Sandno was a leader in the lib- eral army commanded by General Jose Maria Moncada, leader of the opposition to the conservative Diaz government. In compliance with an agreement negotiated by Henry L. Stimson, President Coolidges per sonal envoy. the liberal forces laid down their arms last July with the assurance that next August a fair national election would be held.
 Icvies Taxes
 Sandino gathered number of those dissatisfied with the settlement about him. He seized and operated American mines and levied taxes in the district.
 Major G. D. Hatfield. United States marine corps. sent Sandino an ulti- matum demanding that he lay down his arms. Sandino refused to com- ply or to even discuss the matter.
