The District Commander. |

The Commanding Officer, Fifth
Regiment, Managua, Nicaragua. |

Subject: |
Report of operation of mixed
patrol |
1. Under date of April 20th,
the following report was received by
wire from the Commanding Officer of
Marines at SOMOTILLO:
"Contraband consisted of coffee and rope
line from Honduras. Driver and bull-cart
resting at LA HACIENDA SAN RAMON near
PALO GRANDE when captured by mixed
patrol of six marines and two Guardia.
Cart was on journey to Leon. Cart and
driver turned over to Guardia here for
further investigation and awaiting
instructions from Managua McQueen."
2. This information is
furnished in compliance with telegraphic
instructions from your office.
3. Attention is invited to
the fact that the seizure was made by a
mixed patrol of Marines and Guardia. It
is believed that operations of this
nature, carried on by the Guardia, will
eventually result in the elimination of
the Hacienda Rurales, and will bring
about very desirable results, provided
the seizures in each case are
legitimate. It is believed that only a
sufficient number of marines should
operated with the Guardia to give them
sufficient stamina for energetic
operations. That policy will be carried
out by this office unless instructions
to the contrary are received.
