From Lt. McFarland, Apr. 24:
Juan
Garcia, a Nicaraguan who has been living in
Cifuentes for the past two years, states there
are bandits there at the present time, he does
not know any of their names, but they have been
there since Feb. 25, when a group of 40 with
Porfirio Sanchez, Fernando Maradiaga, and Simeon
Gonzalez as jefes came through Cifuentes, they
said they had left Sandino at Oconguas in Cano
del Diablo with 30 men. His mistress [Teresa
Villatoro] was with this group and went with
them to Danli [Honduras] and is there at the
present time. Fifteen days ago Garcia's son was
in Danli and at that time there were more than
50 bandits there. They are still there, he
believes. All seem to have money and are buying
ammunition and arms, same being easy to obtain
in that town. About six weeks ago, the jefe
Tejada [Jos? de la Rosa Tejada] was killed by
his own men in Danli. Upon leaving Danli, the
route of travel: Malacate, Limon, Santa Barbara,
Muyuca, Santa Cruz, Juali, Los Encinos, and from
there they go either toward Murra or San Pechon. He states he believes a large part of the force
at Danli are waiting on Sandino. They stated
when they passed through in Feb., that they were
to prepare for him to go to Mexico and were to
go with him. It is a rumor he is to pass through
Honduras to Mexico sometime in the near future.

... Tejada, a trusted jefe of Sandino was killed
