Am informed by one of the spokesmen for movement referred to in my telegram of January 25, 9 a.m.,1 that it will begin early next week, that Turrichester [Turrialba] will be headquarters, that they possess few resources but are going to make the attempt. Please see also my telegram of December 31, 11 a.m.1 Am skeptical of success. Reign of terror for Costa Ricans expected. Arrests continuing. Consul has received two letters warning that he will be assassinated in order to bring about intervention.
