General Alejandro Cárdenas,
Ocotal
-----------------------------------------
El Chipote, 20 June 1927
A.C. Sandino, Chief General of the soldiers
defending the National Rights.
To the Inhabitants of our Segovia.
That according to a decree of the Commanding
Officer it is decided to change the head city of
the Dept to the town under the name of Jícaro,
which from now on will be known as Ciudad
Sandino, and hence, San Fernando, Ciudad
Antigua, Telpaneca, and San Juan del Norte,
Quilalí, Murra, and Jalapa; San Albino Mine, and
the valleys and towns being comprised in this
jurisdiction, must be recognized like towns and
valleys being under this jurisdiction. This
Command promises to give ample guarantees to all
natives and foreigners who are established in
this zone, provided they are not in connivance
with the invaders of the country, as otherwise
they will remain under the energetic sanction of
this Command; and at the same time they are
hereby warned that he who disobeys this
disposition will be chased and shot like an
enemy. All the revenues will be used to settle
the salaries of employees which remain organized
in this principal city and other towns.
Therefore, any strange order not coming from
this command will be disobeyed. The inhabitants
of this zone are requested to inform this head
city of any movement of the encroaching troops
in order to repel such encroachment. Let it be
known to everybody.
/s/ A. C. Sandino / Jícaro via San Fernando
General José
Benito López, c/o Davíd A. López, Ocotal.
I
request that you send me as quick as you can, to
San Fernando, the telegraphic apparatus which
you promised to send me to re-establish
telegraphic communications.
Your affectionate companion.
/s/ A. C. Sandino
