The Secretary of State to the Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt)

112. Extremely important to have at earliest possible moment fullest details concerning Sandino’s attack upon American Marines and Nicaraguan constabulary and all events leading up to this attack. Continued telegraphic reports should be made promptly as news is received by you. Afternoon papers here carry sensational reports concerning bombing operations. Please rush reply.
