Santa Cruz. September 15, 1927.

General Augusto C. Sandino.

Yesterday the machos left for Guasaneras with 20 machos and five countrymen. They have two Thompsons, six cargos of provisions and plenty of ammunition. They entered by Los Cedros. I know this from a reliable source and news tonight from V. Chavarria. In case you want to blow up their entrance you should do it by the same road they take.

I suppose our people of La Virna have been intercepted, but have they? The Gringo Machos have taken Saco and Valentinez. Everybody is against them.
