Washington, Nov 27.-The state
department is still without informa-
tion from the American vice consul
at Managua, AIR. Caldera, and the
strong inference is his dispatches
have been intercepted by Nicarasuan
officials under President Zelaya, at
least to the extent of cutting the tel
egraph wires.
The department has no doubt that
Caldera has attempted to commun-
icate with it several times during
the last week or more. Owing to the
absence of specific information which
was sought to be obtained through
Vice Consul Caldera and other agen-
cies. officials here undoubtedly will
delay. at least for time, taking fur
ther action.
A dispatch received from Blue
Fields reassures the United States as
to whether American interests or
American citizens are being interfer-
ed with by the revolutionary army.
In effect the dispatch states great
care is being exercised to protect
American interests.
/ A large number of letters, some
/ from Texas, have been received by
1.-THE state department urging the gov
ernment to take prompt and decisive
action in the Nicaraguan affair
