CECLASSISED Huberty Stateletter 22 e; WLS C:t9 24 181 Consul Satterthwaite, just then reporting for taporary duty during the absence on leave of Vice Consul Johnson, 1r the Department perceived no objection. It has been a week sina, that telegram was written, but fortunately have not felt it necessary to request Mr. Dren to proceed to Limón because the arrival of the troops bad a very salutary effect on the situation in Limón and muned Communist Deputy Mora and his most excitable 11eutenants to watch their step and to be more care nu in their publie statements.
Three days ago, under instructions of the President, a detachment of troops under the pounand of Colonel Danial Gallegos proosaded from Limón to a village called W1l. 26 where the field headquarters of the Communists were located. Colonel Callegos: ins truetions were to wipe out that community and to disperse, where he could not capture ther, the agitatore. Ho executed as instructions literally, completely rasing the community by fin, enpturing 17 prisoners and driving the remaindex to the bush country.
Unfortunately from a standpoint of peace and security, Gallegos failed to sapture some of the more violent leaders, inoinding Carlos Luis Yallas, who with a gang of 50 trouble makers made his gateway. Tallas is now expected to carry on a campaign of guerrilla warfare, stxilding hoxe, there and sverywhere, and causing as much trouble as is possible
