								Stronghold of the Defenders of the National 
								Sovereignty of Nicaragua, Decree No. 19.  
								  
								Augusto C. Sandino, General in Chief of the 
								Autonomist Army of Nicaragua to the Nicaraguan 
								people and the Governments of the other sister 
								Republics makes known:  
								  
								That if the Autonomist Army constituted a 
								powerful military institution, perfectly 
								organized which rests the honor of the Republic, 
								in use of the faculties conceded by the same 
								army; recognizes and accepts in the frathernal 
								sense as brothers in the same Isthmus, the Union 
								Central Americana, broken and interrupted by the 
								Yankee Buccaneers, recognizing at the same time 
								the constitution named by the same Union.  
								  
								On making it known to my compatriots and 
								Governments of the five Republics; it is with 
								the object of making felt our spiritualism as 
								fostered brothers of the same section and in the 
								same way to name our legal representatives in 
								each of the sections of the Isthmus.  
								  
								Patria y Libertad  
								  
								/s/  A. C. Sandino  
								  
								Communicate to all Nations of the Hispanic 
								Continent.  
								  
								 Patria y Libertad
