Sub-Division Commander. |

The Chief of the Guardia

Subject: |
Attack on outpost at Posoltega. |
1. At 12:00 midnight 16-17 of May
I received notice from the local railway
station agent that the Guardia in
Posoltega were being attacked by a group
of bandits. I immediately left with
three men to reinforce the outpost whose
strength was only three men.
When about one mile from Posoltega, I
heard three shots from a rifle. I
arrived with patrol and found everything
quiet. I received the report that about
fifteen bandits had tried to enter the
town when they were discovered by the
Guardia attack on outpost at Posoltega.
(cont)
Approximately twenty shots were
exchanged, and the bandits retreated in
the direction of San Juan and El Bosque.
Raso Zelaya in charge of outpost
reported that the majority of the
bandits were dressed in khaki, and all
were mounted.
No casualties were suffered by the
Guardia. Raso Zelaya reported having
heard several outcries from the enemy
that indicated they had some wounded.
I made short reconnoitering patrol in
direction of El Bosque but was unable to
get any information as to the
whereabouts of enemy.
Two men were left to reinforce outpost
and Sgt. Gómez and I returned to
Chichigalpa 3:30 a.m. May 17, 1928.
