SINOINO IS HELD WELL PREPARED American to Present Claim for Damages, as Rebel Looted Gold Mine. By th Associated Pres MANAGUA, Nicaragua, September 12.—Charles E. Butters, owner of the San Albino mine, which virtually has been ruined by the revel, Gen. San- dino, has returned here from Ocotal in a Marine airplane. As long as Sandino worked the mine by force of arms extracting gold to pay his soldiers and buy provisions the mine was in fair condition, but when he departed he and his followers carried off or destroyed everything worth while. American and native employes, Mr. Butters said, have left the region, which is absolutely unsafe. Retreated to Mountain: Sandino and his forces have retreat- ed to the mountains, which are almost inaccessible. He has plenty of horses, provisions and ammunition, and, ae- cording to Butters, is prepared to harass the Marines and constabulary at any opportune moment. Sandino is described by the mine owner as a_desperado, cruel and very forcible. 1le has trained four boys | from 14 to 16 years of age, Mr. But- ters says, to act as his bodyguard and Kill at his command. These boys are | pictured as absolufely cold-blooded, “thinking no more of shooting a man than cracking a mule with a whip. ‘Will Seek Damages. “I dare mot return.” said Butters, | “as Sandino and his followers believe I am responsible for the presence of the Marines, who have curtailed their activities. am practically ruined financially, as under present condi- tions in ragua I cannot obtain capital to rehabilitate my mine.” Sutters intends to present a claim for damages to the State Department, and he is leaving soon for the United States. The Marine command offered to station 40 Marines at the mine, but Butters said it was too late, the damage has been done. He prais the Marines for their stand in the Ocotal battle, for everybody in that on_believed they would be anni- hilated.
