TINY JUNGLE OUTP0STS
TARGETS FOR SANDING
BANDS OF ASSASSINS
Continued From First Psge.)

to call the last town is a misnomer,
since it consists of a wireless station
and a few huts. Other inhabited parts
of the interior are small settlements,
where a few Americans, Englishmen and
Portuguese live, surrounded by peaceful
natives.
The Nicaraguan outlaws. on whom
SANDING has bestowed the pompous title
of rebels or patriots, have not been
heretofore active in that section OF the
country. 1t had appeared unworthy OF
their activities, since 1t offered but little
prospect for rich loot. On this account,
the Nicaraguan government had only a
small force to police this region. Even
this force had been reduced as result
Of the catastrophe which occurred in
Nicaragua two weeks ago.
SANDING and his followers, therefore,
decided that this was their chance to
strike a spectacular coup. Dividing a
small force, estimated at from $50 to 300
men, into four groups, he ordered them
to go ahead and play havoc with the
"Gringoes." Embracing in canoes, the
force reached with surprising rapidity
settlements situated north of Puerto
Cabezas.
Then, sneaking closer to the settle
ments, the insurgents attacked the un-
suspecting foreigners, killing two in an
outright fight Seven Americans and
five or six other nationals were taken
prisoners and murdered in cold blood
after they had been robbed of all their
belongings. When the brigands took all
that they could carry with them the
houses CT the foreigners were set on
fire.
News of the outrage reached other
settlements with the uncanny rapidity
that kind of news travels through the
jungle. There were only few men,
bers Of the Guardia Nacional in the
district These, commanded by Amer
lean Marines and led by more or less
reliable guides, set Immediately in pur-
suit of the outlaws. Amphibian planes
were Immediately ordered to the dis
turbed area and the combined efforts
Of the, guards and the aviators saved
the larger settlements from destruction.
Three american men-of-war have
now reached the principal ports on the
east coast of Nicaragua. Some have
landed bluejackets and Marine to pro-
tect the lives and property OF the
American citizens because the Mica
raguan National Guards have left for
the jungle to disperse the outlaws.
The American Government does not
intend to change its policy Of non-in-
reference in Nicaragua. 1t has, how
ever, the obligation to protect the lives
of American citizens in the newly in
tested bandit areas. In order to avoid
useless bloodshed, Secretary Henry L.
Stinson has advised all Americans Iv-
ing in the interior of Nicaragua to re-
port as soon as possible to ports pro-
tected by American warships. as there
is no danger that the outlaws will ap-
preach a port where there Is a man
of war. From those ports American
citizens will either be repatriated, or, If
they do not want to leave the country,
they can be protected until the Mica
raguan National Guard checks or dis
poses of Sandinos followers.

most certainly be tempted to occupy,
thus risking grave diplomatic dissension
with Great Britain.
The fourth possibility is that France.
finding sympathy in Spain. might seize
the occasion to revive the Mediterranean
pact proposal
Fifth and finally, If Portugal as well
should take occasion TO manifest de-
sire to Join a federation of Iberian re-
publics q serious problem would SEEM
ingly be raised for Great Britain
These different possibilities ere being
closely watched by the interested coun-
tries all the way from the Black Sea
to the Atlantic, but for the moment
prudence is apparently the watchword
no less with France, Great Britain and
Italy than with Spain, for after all
there remains still another possibility,
namely, that the Spaniards may once
more change their minds and after a
few weeks or months Alfonso may come
back.

FRUIT BUSINESS IN DANGER.
Company Fears 1t May Have to Sus-
/ pend Much of Its Work.

NEW ORLEANS, April Is GP).-Of-
ficials of the Standard Fruit d Steam
ship Co. expressed grave concern over
the continuation of their extensive op-
erations in the interior of Nicaragua, in
the face of raids by outlaws and the
announcement of Secretary of State

longer will be used to police the ba-
nana-laden" jungles.

ploye, who were slain a few days ago in

Fears for the safety OF Albert and
Edwin Fagot, brother merchants, and

ellie Gomez of New Orleans, said:

The Bidding

The hand was played at auction and South the dealer bid four dia- monds a pre-emptive bid in an endeavor to shut out his oppo- nents, but West, with his long club suit. bid five clubs. North went to five diamonds. East, hold ing. two high card tricks and three then bid six diamonds and West bid for sacrifice, feeling that he could not go down more than two tricks and his 100 honors would offset part of that loss, and took the declaration to seven clubs.
 The Play
 The hand is very interesting as 1t produces 2 triple squeeze. North top S of his partners suit, which West trumped with the three of clubs. West then proceeded to play six straight club tricks. The dummy followed with three clubs and the jack and ten and five of hearts. North discarded three dia- monds, two spades and a heart. South followed with two clubs and discarded four diamonds. On the seventh club. North begins to feei card the eight of hearts, bearing down to the lone king. South plays the queen of diamonds.
 Deciarer is very careful to retain the seven of diamonds in dummy now discarding small spade. The queen Of spades is then led by de- clarer, followed with the eight which is won in dummy with the king. On the second spade lead South is forced to discard the deuce of hearts When the ace of spades is led from dummy. South is com pletely helpless. If the king of dia. inonds is discarded, the seven will be good in dummy. If the heart is discarded. declarer can lead a with tho ace, pick up the lone king and queen from North and South. and cash the nine of hearts for the last trick.
