The consul Immediately appealed to Presi- dent Zelaya to commute their sen. tences and his answer was T will sec"
 Later, on further appeal, Zelaya said the sentence was final. 1 A dispatch received this morning at the state department is to the ef. feet that the men have undoubtedly been executed,

 Attaches of the legation declined tonight to make any comment on the situation, The new minister. Senor Hazese, naturally refused to discuss It, owing to the fact that his creden- tials have been waved aside at the White House because of the develop ments of the last few hours There Is an air of genuine anxiety about the legation, however, and from at- pearances the diplomats regard the situation as grave.
