U.S. TROOPS LAND NEAR NIGARAGOA Latimer Prepares for Any Even- tuality in Revolntion ‘Washington, Dec. 24 apparently is becoming increasingly serious. Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer, in command of the American special service squadron in Latin American waters, has found it advisable to land a force of bluejackets at Rio Grande bar and to proceed, himself, aboard his flagship, the Rochester, to Puerto Cabezas, the chief center of the revolutionary movement. Meanwhile, Adolfo Diaz, the con- servative president of Nicaragua, who has been recognized by United States and is being opposed by the liberal revolutionary group headed by former Vice-President Sacasa, recognized as president by Mexico, has renewed his appeal for American intervention. He announced last night that he| had commissioned Dr. Alehandro Cesar, former caraguan minister here, to come to Washington to ex- press to the American government “The earnest desire of my govern- ment to bring peace to Nicaragua.” ‘Reiterating his charges that the| Sacasa faction is being supplied with guns and men by the Calles govern- ment of Mexico and that “insidious Mexican propaganda is beigg broad- cast daily by Mexico,” he declared “Mexican oppression is becoming so strong that eventually I cannot cope with it, and I again appeal to the American government for American intervention, which, with its high ideals, is many times more desirable than Mexican culture allied with barbarism.” Fighting on the east coast, where the United States has several naval units, he related, is becoming *‘more tense and severe,” and “the loss of life duringsthis revolution is appal- ling.” The Nicaraguan consul landing of “soldiers, mostly Mexi- cans, and arms” by a gun runner at Puerto Cabezas, near the Honduran border, which is Admiral Latimer’s| destination. The admiral, in reporting his movements to the Washington au- thorities, gave no details to show what ‘developments had caused him to land bluejackets at Rio Grande bar and go to the revolutionary cen- ter. It was assumed that the blue- jackets were put ashore to protect American and other foreigners en- gaged in the movement of hardwood lumber out of the Rio Grande river| Revion, SIX DEATHS IN AUTO CRASHES Fewer Fafalities But More Recidents Hartford, Dec.. 24.—Although there were five fewer fatalities dur- ing the week ended December 18 than during the corresponding week of 1925, the tottal number of auto- mobile accidents in the state was slightly greater ,accordlng to the statistfcal division of the motor vehicle department.
