The department said that Rear Admeral Latimer had sent word from his flagship, the cruiser Rochester, that he had sent ashore a landing body of sailors and was proceeding himself to Puerto Cabezas. No further details of the situation which prompted the landing were given. Rio Grande bar is assumed at the state department to be at the mouth of the river of that name on the east coast of Nicaragua. There have been no previous official dispatches report-- i ing difficulties encountered by American and other foreign commercial interests in this region, now controlled by the rebel revolutionists against the Managua government which has been recognized by the United States. Admiral Latimer himself Is proceeding on his flagship to the chief center of the revolutionary movement at Puerto Cabezas, which also is on the east coast close to the Honduran border. Blast Kills Two, Inj'ures Twelve Baldwin, N. Y. Two persons were killed, about a dozen injured and twelve wooden buildings destroyed in an explosion authorities believe might have been caused by a bomb set off in a shoemaker's war. Last week District Attorney Edwards of Nassau county learned Samuel Acarbi, a shoemaker with a shop in the Baldwin tavern, received a letter threatening to blow up the hotel if the cobbler did not cease a house to house canvass for trade. Thursday morning the tavern was torn almost board from board by an explosion that rocked the town, killed the shoemaker's wife and infant and probably fatally injured Acarb himself. The district attorney said that he had taken steps to obtain the threatening letter, which he said Acarbi had turned over to postal authorities, and that every effort would be made to find the sender and discover if the fatal explosion was the fulfillment of his threat. ; .
