About Canal Nepotietions

Minister Corea of Nicaragua leaves here
tomorrow night for home for the purpose
Of discussing with President Zelaya and
the officials of Nicaragua the status of
canal affairs. Thus far the Nicaraguan
authorities have learned the situation of
affairs largeley by cable messages and this
visit will afford Minister Corea an oppor-
tuntty. to explain quite fully the various
steps which have been taken. The last
year has been one of exceptional importance
for this legation, owing to the action taken
by Congress on the canal. Throughout
this period Mr.. Corea has been a frequent
visitor at the State Department, where the
officials have reason to know the zeal with
which he urged the interests of his govern
ment. In the course of the negotiations
on the protocol, covering the Nicaragu
canal route, Mr.. Corea obtained a number
of important concessions in terms on be-
half of his government, concerning which
little has been made known here or in
Nicaragua. During the minister's absence
Mr.. Staden will be in charge of the affairs
of the legation at 1904 Q street northwest
