The Consul in Chargé of the Legation in Honduras ( Lawton ) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received February 27—1 a.m.]
24. The Honduranean Government anxiously awaiting a reply to my February 18, 3 p.m.
Revolutionists continue activities after capturing and sacking Danlí, town of 3,000 inhabitants, but were driven back to Nicaraguan territory. They are likely to reappear at some other border point unless Nicaraguan authorities prevent, which seems unlikely, as a spy captured today confessed rebels to number 200 well armed with headquarters Casablanca, Nicaragua, where also they are selling the merchandise of looted stores, and that two inspectors of Nicaraguan boundary police named Franco and Lumbi accompany rebels with their respective patrols.
