The Ambassador in Mexico (Morrow) to the Secretary of State

Mexico, June 28, 1929.
[Received July 3.]
No. 1718

Sir: I have the honor to report that according to a press statement, General Augusto Sandino, the Nicaraguan bandit, arrived in Mexico day before yesterday, entering at Tapachula, Chiapas, from Guatemala, and that he is said to be en route to Yucatan, where he will fix his residence.

Mr. Sierra, of the Foreign Office, today renewed to a member of the Embassy the previous assurance that Sandino would not be allowed to come to Mexico City and stated that if through any circumstance he should come to the capital, no demonstration of any kind in his behalf would be permitted.

I have [etc.]

Dwight W. Morrow
