MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 3.- With two American mines known to have been blown up by rebels, fears for | | the safety of the missing New Yorker who was at one of them increased to- day. George B. Marshall. manager of the |La Luz v Angeles mine, was said | | by Assistant Manager Johnson to have | been taken prisoner by the rebels a Goen. Augustino Sandino's orde | was sent to the insurgent leader’s head- | | quarters, which were understood to be somewhere in the mountainous region of the Department of Jinotega. Johnson told a Marine officer at | Prinzpolka that he had heard that 60 | rebels, led by Jose Arroliga and Cecilio | Gutlerrez, arrived at La Luz on April |24, They dynamited and Aestrived the | mine, the mills and the machinery | Afterward they left for Bocay " Mills Dynamited. | A group of 50 rebels dynamited and | | destroyed the mills. tunnel and ma- chinery at Bonanza mine on pril 17 Afterward they headed toward La Luz |and brigade headquarters believed that the same group destroyed both mines Brigade headquarter aid they hoped to get further information concerning Marshall and rebel activities within & few days. Troops have been sent to the mining district The mines are quite a distance inland from the east coast and very difficult | of access. It is impossible to reach them by an overland march. Rivers | furnish the only means of access. These | | are ascended by Indian craft known as pitpans, which draw 18 inches of water in order to navigate the swift and dan- gerous streams, which are filled with rapids and falls Unless these pitpans are towed by a gasoline launch several days will be required to reach the headwaters of | the rivers near where the mines are located. If gasoline boats are not avail- able; the pitpans must be poled up the | | rivers by Indians. who are the only per- sons who understand the handling of | the small craft. which are unsteady and |easily capsizable. The largest do not | hold more than 10 men and the smaller | ones 3 or 4 with provisions. | Await Further Advices. | As the mining districts are absolutely varren, all food must’be carried to them Miners figire that it costs more than $100 a ton to bring food up the river. The Marines. therefore, will have an exceedingly difficult task in reaching the mines.
