Reports concerning the pressing need
fer the Madriz government to obtain a
loan have been received In Washington
The State Department itself is In re-
ceipt Of a dispatch from Vice Consul
Caldera. stating that loan is being
given consideration.
The vice consul adds that military prep
arations continue to be made in Mana
qua, indicating. evidently, the belief on
the part of the Madriz followers that
Estrada will attempt in the immediate
future to capture the city.
Dispatches from Commander Shipley of
the Des Moines at Bluefields continue
to portray the strenuous efforts being
put forth to relieve the suffering of the
captured army of Zelayans. One dis
patch states that 1000 loaves of bread
are baked daily on the Prairie to feed
the prisoners.
ditions difficulty has been encountered in
landing the Red Cross stores sent to
Bluefields from Panama aboard the
Prairie
good graces of the United States govern
ment. Nearly all his official acts are
governed by that consideration.
Such is indicated by reports from Mana
qua. 1t is Madrizs purpose. it is de-
clared. to procure the friendly co-opera-
ton of the United States government in
the restoration of peace and order in
Nicaragua. and, failing that, to so ad-
minister the tangled affairs of the gov
eminent that there shah be no reason
for any interference by the United States
or any other foreign government.
1t is mentioned as special act of grace
that Madriz recently offered Rear Adj
miral Kimball the free use of a small.
island, near Corinto, for the establish
ment of camp for the mar mes. The
offer was not accepted, however.
Marines to Land in Salvador.
1t was deemed more expedient to land
the marines on islands belonging to Sal
vador In the Bay of Fonseca on the Pa
cific coast north Of Corinto.
The marines had been confined in close
quarters on board ship for several weeks
without room or opportunity for exer-
else. Sanitary reasons requiI ed that they
be given more breathing space somewhere
On shore.
Kimball to Get No Scolding.
Although the officials of both the State
and Navy Department assert that Rear
Admiral Kimball's ceremonIous call on
President Madriz was unauthorized. they
explain that it did not in any way imply
fl,n Nf3 1aI acvv,ift Hxy -ri< oL
States government of Madriz as the legal
head of the Nicaraguan government.
1t was further stated that Admiral Kim
ball acted in his nd.vidual capacity, and
has done nothing to call for either rep
rimand of explanation.
Mr.. Winthrop, acting secretary of the
navy. said positively that Admiral Kim
ball would not be ''reprimanded.'
Corea to Represent Madriz.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
United States government Will refrain for
the present from recognizing either the
Madriz or the Estrada government.
Should Senior Luis Corea be designated
by Madriz as special envoy to the Unit
ed States. as reported. he will be received
informally, as the agent of party.
Senior Corea Is known through his long
service here as N caraguan minister
several years ago. He Is now here and,
it Is said. is prepared to execute any in
structions from the Madriz government
Consul Olive es left Washington last
night for ManaBla. He Is expected to
arrive at Salina Cruz, southern coast of
Mexico, about January and w II then be
taken to Corinto on board naval v.s-
sci.
Improperly of Recognition.
The situation in Nicaragua presents
some diplomatic niceties In relation to the
propriety of recognizing the government
Of Madriz by the Central American states.
In the opinion OF leading offic ais of the
State Department President Madriz should
