secretary Knox Moves Slowly In
Nlcaraouan Affair.
Washington, Nov. 24.-The status
OF the crisis in the diplomatic rela.
tions between Nicaragua and the
United States over the summary ex.
ecution OF two Americans remains
unchanged. Secretary of state Knox
and other officials of the state depart.
ment maintain their attitude Of reti.
cence In regard to the plans for de.
manding reparation from President
zelaya. It is probable that an apol.
ogy and substantial irdemnitics for
the families of the two Americans
will be insisted on. Secretary Knox
also may send passports to Senior
Rodriguez, the Nicaraguan charge
d'affaires in this city. While II was
generally expected that the Nicara.

tary Knox said after the meeting that

Nicaragua. II President Zelaya does
not make satisfactory reparation be-
fore congress convenes, the president
possibly will lay before congress the
plans as TO what punitive action
should be taken against the Nicara.
guam government.
Secretary Knox's delay in announc.
Ing his plans for furnishing President
Ielaya, II is believed, il due TO the
fact that he wishes to verify certain
phases of the situation before taking
any drastic measures While the
state department officials regard the
case against Zelaya as exceptionally
strong, there are several points on
which they want further information
before taking action.
Offlcers of the state department
realize the perilous situation Of Vice
Consul Caldera, who has only such
protection as is afforded him by the
Zelaya government. lie is anti
Zelaya, and there is no doubt that
his activity In the present crisis has
made his personal relations with
President Zelaya less friendly than
they We're. AS far as the state de-
partment can learn, his personal
safety mas not been menaced.
The legal officers of the state dc.
partment believe that recognizing
either the belligerency or the insur-
gfncy of the reYolutionlsts at the
present time might embarrass more
than aid them. While such action
would insure treatment when cap
tured as prisoners OF war under the
rules OF international law, II also
would impose duties and obligations
which might hinder them In their op-
erations against zelaya. One OF the
reasons suggested for the delay In
taking action against Nicaragua is
that the execution OF Cannon and
Groce has not produced an outburst
of indignant popular feeling In this
country and demand for reparation.
