WHY THEY KICK ON MERRY
Central Americans Don't Like His Nicara
guam Canal Views.

Washington. July 29.-The state de-
partment officials are very reticent up
on the subject Of the objection which
has been lodged against the reception
Of Captain w L. Merry of San Fran
cisco, as United States minister to Mic
aragua. Costa Rica and Salvador. to
succeed Lewis Baker The matter is
now engaging the attention Of the OF
fic:als, and it IS expected that within g
few days such representations will be
made on our part to the countries con-
cerned as may induce them to abandon
their objections, as not well founded.
Il is possible that the objection TO
the selection of Captain Merry is not so
much on account OF the manner In
which he has been credited to tae three
countries OF Central America. instead OF
the Greater Republic OF Central Amer
Ca, as because OF his pronounced views
on thc Nicaraguan canal. Captain
Merry was pushed by the California
delegation for the position. because he
was an enthusiastic supporter OF the
canal project and because OF his wide
knowledge O. the subject.
When it was published that he was
likely to DE appointed, the son OF ]. D.
Rodriguez. minister OF zhe Greater Re
public OF Central Amer ca, made a pro
rest 70 che department OF state against
his appointment The reason given was
that he would not be acceptable to all
The countries forming the new govern
ment. Some OF the questions were call
81 up, and ii was stated that the prssi-
oent Of one OF the states ob5ected TO
Merry. This was cleared up and a
cable was received from the president

ing that Captain Merry would be cute
acceptable as minister. and he would be
glad 10 welcome him. The nomination
OF Merry was then sent In. and ne was
