Washington, Aug. 1O-The State Department
is taking up directly with the government ot
Honduras the settlement of the questions arising
from the cancellation of the exequaturs OF the
American consul and vice-consular officers at
Ceiba which was ordered by President Davild
because of the alleged Intervention Of those
officers in the political affairs of Honduras For
this purpose it has directed Mr.. Dodge. the
American Minister to Salvador, to proceed at
once to Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras,
for conferences with the officials of the Foreign
Office there.
In this case the State Department is isnor-
ing the Honduran Minister here. Mr.. Csarte,
who has not been at the department since ne
had an interview with Mr.. Bacon about ten days
ago which. it is said terminated rather ab-
ruptly. The result of Mr. Dodge's visit is
awaited with considerable interest at the state
Department, which feels that Honduras mas
acted hastily, and in an ex parte manner in can
ceiling the consuls' exequaturs and which is at
complete odds with the Honduran government
in the matter.
