 Merida. Yucatan, Aug. 27 (UP)- General Augusta Cesar Sandno, one time Nicara guam revolutionary lead CT, is in armed refuge in the capital of Yucatan, center of one of the worlds oldest civilizations,
 His refuge is a suite on the third and top floor of one of Merida's largest and most pretentious hotels. He lives, for the most part, the life of a hermit, seldom leaving his rooms. When he does. he ventures forth like Chicago beer lord, sur rounded by an armed escort of half dozen young men. 1.-the and hardy youths who followed him as he elud- ed the United States Marines in the Nicaraguan mountains. The handful of followers escaped with him into Honduras.
 When he Is in his hotel retreat, the youthful bodyguard sit. in re- lays, outside his door, keeping an eye over the balustrade upon the first floor patio below to see who comes and goes
 For Sandino, it is said, fears a possible assassin.
 When he first arrived here few weeks ago by airplane from Vera Cruz, where he stopped only briefly when he learned he was not wanted there. the 33 year old rebel leader made an inflammatory speech in the public square, a tirade against Yankee imperialism" That is his persistent note now as before.
 Leader Without An Army
 But for the moment he is lead CT without an army and apparently has made no great stir here, though he has some sympathizers in thls state.
 He surrounds himselfs with con- siderable mystery and refused an interview with me on the ground that since the American people hat ed him he could not give an inter- view to an American correspondent.
 As looked about, I saw two sol diers, members of his bodyguard, sitting at a table in front of a suite in the opposite corner. l walked over to them. They spoke only Spanish and after repeated attempts to understand me they gave up and sent for an interpreter.
 He arrived: A handsome young Cl-i, CT intelligent black eyes and sleek coal black hair, another member of Sandinos little band. He was like wise in uniform and had pistol straped at his side; l told him l wanted to see Sandino. He went into a room nearby apparently the youthful rebel generals quarters. I waited for about l 5 minutes, all | the while under the surveillance of 1 the two members of the bodyguard on duty, feeling bit uncomfortable. Finally, the young man returned and | handed me a note signed by himself. | Captain Jose De Paudes, .design3tsd as of the staff of General saNdlino,
