Foreign Interests Pro....S-.
Washington, November 26.-The state
department is still without information
from the American vice consul at Mana
qua, Mr.. Caldera and the strong infer
ence Is that his dispatches have been in
tercepted by the Nicaraguan officials un-
der President Zelaya, at least to the ex-
tent of cutting telegraph wires. The de-
partment has no doubt that Mr.. Caldera
has attempted to communicate with it
several times during the week or more.
Owing to the absence of specific informa
tion II was sought to be obtained through
Vice Consul Caldera and other agencies.
the officials here undoubtedly will delay
at least for a time before taking definite
action.
dispatch received from Bluefelds re-
assures the United States as to whether
American interests or American citizens
are being interfered with by the revolu-
tionary army. In fact, the dispatch
states that great care is being exercised
to protect American interests.
The advices add that the steamer Die
tator, belonging to the Bluefelds Steam
ship company, which came into the pos
session of the revolutionary forces about
week ago was detained only one day.
and that the detention was only for the
purpose of examining the vessel with =
view to determining whether she carried
contraband goods. The delay, II is said.
resulted to no damage to the steamship
company. It is also reported that Amelio
Espinosa of the revolutionary provincial
government has given up his post A.
minister general. 1t is generally under
stood that Mr.. Espinosa. who Is a brother
of the former minister from Nicaragua to
the United States. and who recently re-
signed will be elected President of tho
new republic under General Estrada
should the revolution be successful.

confident that no changes will be made

based on favorable action by Con-
