 Dr.. Jose Dolores Gamez. Secretary of State if Nicaragua, and a close friend of Zelaya, who arrived in Mexico City yesterday bringing a message from President zelaya to President Diaz. said today:
 Nicaragua Is taking no part in the revolution in Salvador. The movement Is wholly a revolutionary one without outside aid. Nicaragua sympathizes with the revolutionists because our country is anxious to see firm gov ernment established in Salvador. but is taking no hand in the movement in any way"
 Mir. Gamez denies that Nicaragua furnished the gunboat Momo Tombo to the Salvadorean revolutionists and declares he has received reliable ad- vices to the effect that the boat was stolen as 1t lay in the harbor of Corinto alongside the once de Julio. the Ange- line and one other Nicaraguan vessel. This statement Is laughed at by those who claim to be familiar with the sit- uation.
 Statement is RidicuIed.
 Albert Membreno, 8 Hondurean exile capitalist, discussed the statment. say ing:
 1Nicaragua gave one of her gunboats to the revolutionists for the purpose of capturing Acajutia and 1t would have been Impossible to get the boat ont of the harbor at Corinto without the consent of the Mcaraguan authori- ties. The harbor is small and there is a large garrison there. It is ridlc- ulous. ..s.s. s=z.4..... world believe Hhat she knows 1t will not believe"
 < MT. Membreno was minister of pub ihc works pf Honduras during the re- cent war with Nicaragua. He left the country after the flight of Presi- dentBonilla and has not since return ed. He stated that Honduras is in fa- vor of confederation and that he hopes to see all the Central American re- publics united under one central gov ernment soon.
 At the state department today 1t was said that nothing had been receiv- ed from Central America today
 MT. Gamez denies that he came to Mexico on any concrete mission but states he will call on president Diaz. He was at the state department for several hours today. What trans pires at the conference was not made public. As regards the confederation of Central American republics. Mir. Gamez admits that the cause would bc furthered by the victory of General Alfara who Is known to be President Zelaya's choice for President of Saliva dor.
 While President ZaIaya is for con- federation he Is not in favor of &C., complaining 1t by forctble means, said MT. Gamez. The president believes that by a union of the Central Amer ican republics he could be permanent ly established and the various states left unhampered in the development of their resources. Nicaragua fully ap- preciates the value of peace"
 MT. Gamez will remain in Mexico for several days and, after completing his business, will leave for Washington to see President Roosevelt to whom he will also deliver a message from Pres ident Zelaya.
