Pittman Maltreated in Madriz Capture Near Bluefields
American mining engineer William P. Pittman, seized during the Bluefields battle, is reported by Consul Jose De Olivares to have been confined in a filthy cell and denied food in Managua. He was moved from Bluefields on July 14 and, upon arrival, jailed in a crowded Matagalpa facility in a nervous state. Knox condemns the secret removal and warns Madriz of accountability for Americans' safety as tensions rise. A German gunboat is noted as being sent to the west coast of Nicaragua amid foreign protests. Officers for the Michigan federation were elected: President B. R. Foster, Vice President J R. Smith, Secretary H. E. Crum, Treasurer Gordon Knowles, with Fred Stevens on the executive committee.
