of Republic.
By the Associated Press.


MANAGUA, Nicaragua, January z.
There was another situation today
for the Marines to take in hand. Dep
relations and disorder near the port
of Corinto raised the fear that railway
communication between the capital
and the sea might be cut.
A force of $50 United States Marines
was available for duty in the region
and it was considered likely that they
would be posted at strategic points
along the railway. This railway, the
only one in Nicaragua. connects Man
aqua and other points Of the interior
with the sea.
Sixty men, well armed and well
mounted, attacked the laborers on a
plantation at La Cabrera de Ameya.
adyices from the district OF Gilman
deSa stated. The bandits plundered
the district and committed various
depredatiorfs.
Bridges Safety Involved.
Since Ameya is directly across the
Raw of Estero from Corinto, 1t was
feared that an attempt might be made
TO blow up the bridge connecting Co
rinto to the mainland. thus cutting on
the seaport Of Parril.
A strike OF stevedores In Corinto
has caused anxiety since approx
mateiy 65 per cent Of the foreign
commerce OF Nicaragua passes
through Corinto. The customs col
Iector said that he believed the strike
was in sympathy with the rebel ac-
tivities OF Gen. Augustine Sandino.
II ia thought that the attack on the
plantation was staged by sympathy
ers with the strikers.
The air section of the Marine gar
rison at Quilali was in excellent
shape today for bombing attack upon
the SANDING rebels. Six new pursuit
planes have reached there and ad-
ditionai men were massed for the
drive against SANDING. The Marines
were well supplied with food ana am
munition.
Sandino's Location Unknown.
sandino's present iocation VASES
mystery today. The country affords
many hiding places for the rebel
bands. Once spotted by the planes
in their patrols. the bands are bombed
and likely hiding places attacked
from the air.
Most of the towns In Nueya Segoyta
are In the hands Of the Marines. Re
Endorsements win be installed In ad-
ditional towns as they are taken over.
Additional details Of Sundays battle
near Quiiali tell Of savage counter
attack by the Marines and National
Guardsmen for the recapture Of the
body Of Sergt. Thomas G. Bruce. who
was shot down by the rebels while
leading an advance patrol The rebels
numbered several hundred and after
killing Bruce they carried on his body.
Shortly afterward the relief column
came ND and cut its way through the
rebels. smashing them right and left.
Bruce's body was retaken and carried
% Quilali.
A Marine officer counted 80 rebels
dead. but II is not doubted that the
SANDING forces carried away many OF
their dead and wounded. which Ia their
custom.
