Andrew Hendy was appointed honorary chief of the Miskito in 1894 by Zelaya's government. Andrew was a sambo-miskito, cousin of the last Miskito chief Robert Henry Clarence of Miskito Nation. Andrew's appointment was rejected by Sam Pitts, a Tawira Miskito, who started a war that lasted until 1907, when Sam was killed by Zelayan troops.
