Military Authorities Hold Guardia i
Ample Protection.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April IL Up.
Military authorities here contend that
there is no menace to American citizens
in Nicaragua in the withdrawal Of
United States Marines under the plan OF
complete evacuation recently announced
by the State Department.
The Nicaraguan National Guard mere
tofore has been able to provide ade-
uuate protection against insurgent at
tacks. it is contended, and is regarded
as strong enough to continue such pro-
lection after the Marine forces have
left.
The National Guard commander to-
day expressed regret at the death OF
American civilians in recent tnsurgent
operations in the northeast.
Reports Exaggerated.
This is serious business" he said,
but reports reaching the United States
from Puerto CabezaS unquestionably are
exaggerated as result OF the natural
excitement in that area.
The insurgent problem always has
been under control, however, and deal
ing with it will be easier now, for his
followers have been considerably dis
appointed with Augustine Sandino's
failure to aid Managua's citizens after
the recent earthquake.
II am convinced that the recent &C.

culties had necessitated sending Marine
Corps planes into the northeast, but
that at no time had United States Ma
rines been used in the operations about
Puerto CabezaS.
Nor will it be necessary to use them, "
he added.
Reconstruction of Managua after the
earthquake goes on apace. Nearly 1000
men are clearing the streets Of debris,
collecting their pay in cash and buying
provisions at the new central market,
where beans, rice and other staples are
on sale at prices no higher than before
the disaster.
Others are provided with ration cards
issued by the Red Cross relief organi-
zation.
Thirty thousand of the city's inhab-
itants are back among the ruins, doing
their bit by cleaning up their own shat
tered homes. Sanitation officials say
conditions are better now than month
ago as a result of precautions taken TO
insure supplies of pure water and ade-
Quate refuse disposal.

The State Department Official said It
was ironical that such a man should
have assumed the proportions OF a
hero, even of a defender of the 'vesti-

republic.
SANDING, Thurston said, had chosen

Darrah and Beardsley led a detach-
ment of 16 men of the Guardia into the
interior. They and their detachment
routed the bandit band that had COM
mitted the Logtown and Moss Farm
massacres, killing nine of them, one of
the dead being their chieftain, Pedro
Blandon. They and their men OF the
Guardia fought their way back down
the railroad track, replaced the torn
rails under fire and got every one OF
their men safely back to Puerto Ca
beZaS, saving a number of the beseiged
from outlying farm houses along the
line of the road. And they did it with
out the loss of a man. One of the
Guardia had his eye shot out another
had flesh wound of the side, and a
third suffered bullet-grazed scalp.
