WASHINGTON, April 14--The Navy de-
partment has received from Commander
Doyle Of the gunboat Chicago. which Is in
Pacific waters off Central America. a dis
patch relative TO plans for a conference
between Presidents zelaya of Nicaragua
and Figuera Of Salvador. As soon as the
dispatch was deciphered It was sent to tho
State department, and there followed a
long conference between Assistant Secre-
tary Bacon and Minister Corea Of Mica
ragua. Information had been received
previously from Phillip Brown, secretary
OF the United States legation at Guate-
mala, who has been negotiating between
Nicaragua and Salvador, and wko finally
secured the consent Of President F'iguera
to meet President Zelaya. This dispatch
Left rather hazy impression as to the
representation Honduras Is to have at the
conference. Commander Doyle made Il
clear that General Sierra Of the Honduras
provisional government is TO be command
ant of AmalApa. The conference between
Presidents Zelaya and Figuera will take
place at Amalapa or on board United
States glnboat to be anchored at Amalapa.
The fact that Honduran general who was
not only a revolutionist, but one Of the
candidates Of the revolutonlsts for the
presidency against Bonilla, is to be in COM
mand at Amapala during the conference
is regarded here as at least a partiol
recognition of the provisional government.
II this proves true, settlement of the dis
pute. II is expected will be easily com
pleted When the Doyle dispatch was sent
Amapala had not yet completed its sur
render Commander Doyle estimated that
it would require about four days to accom-
plish II.
The salvadorean troops in Amapala, It
had been agreed, should embark for La
Union, Salvador, taking with them all
officers, private property and side arms.
BOniIIa to Go Abroad.
President Bonilla had not yet reached
the Chicago when Commander Doyle sent
his dispatch, but It was stated that the
president was expected and that he would
be taken to some port outside Of Central
America. President zelaya demanded that
Bonllla be not permitted to land in Salvador
for fear that he would organize a force
against Nicaragua and continue the fight
ing.
1t was said further that arrangements are
now being made for the election OF a con-
stitutional president in Honduras.
The State department today received a
dispatch from United States Consul Philip
Brown at La Union, Honduras, saying a
peace conference would be held at the port
| of Amapala between President Zelaya Of
| Nicaragua and President Figuera Of Saliva
dor Immediately upon the surrender OF
| Amapala, which at the time the dispatch
was filed was expected momentarily. The
/ two presidents will meet in person and en-
deavor to reach settlement of the diff
culties which involved Nicaragua and Hon.
duras in war and caused Salvador to be-
come the ally Of the latter.
The Nicaraguan government demands
! that the Salvadoreans recognize the pro-
vlsional government which has been set UP
in Honduras. This would mean the COM
I plete victory Of President zelaya, as the
| Hondurean provisional government is made
up almost wholly of Hondurean revolution
lists allied with Nicaraguan forces. The at
| titude OF Salvador on the subject Of rec
ognizing the provisional government is not
known.
Mr.. Browns dispatch says that peace is
assured,by President Figuera having agreed
to accept a proposition made for the meet
ing with President Zelaya.
PARIS, April 1s,-The Nicaraguan lega-
ton today received a dispatch confirming
| the surrender of Amapala, Honduras, and
| adding:
| The surrender was absolutely without any
! conditions, but we guaranteed President
Bonlla's passage abroad.
| The Salvadorean government is sending
peace commissioners to Amapala-
| Guatemala Expects Trouble.
| MEXICO, April H. - Central Americans
arriving from the souto are quoted as
saying that Guatemala is mobilizing troops
in anticipation of trouble, perhaps with
! Nicaragua, and that the greatest excite
ment prevails. The same condition prevails
