PROTECTORATE PROPOSED

Washington, Dec, 14.-One of the
projects for the solution of the Mic

This may be regarded as necessary
in the event that the insurgents fail
to displace Zelaya by their own ef-

Mexico City. Dec. 14.~-Resolutions
prepared by a committee selected at
a meeting of the Central Americans in
Mexico City denouncing the action of
the United States in reference to Mic
aragua and Zelaya We're mailed here
today to President Taft and Secretary
Knox They were ratified at a mass
meeting of members of Central Amer
lean colonies in this city late last
night. They are in part as follows:
THAT the government of the United
States has no right to intervene in
the interior affairs of Central Amer
lean states despite the reasons stated
by you, and we affirm that the pur-
pose Of your government is to con-
summate an offense against Nicar-
aqua, arousing political passions and
taking advantage of the creduality or,
dlsioyalty of some Central Americans,
THAT Nicaragua has grounds to
consider that the present revolution
has been promoted By the government
of the United States and has perfect
right o claim from that government
an determination sufficient to pay for
the loss of life and interests which
your government has caused with its
irregular proceedings.
THAT if the government of the
United states had sought in good faith
an equitable and impartial solution of
the conflict il would have accepted at
once the mediation offered by the
government to solve he question
peacefully mediation which was Of
fered, according to the declaration Of
the Mexican government to the press.
We citizens of five republics of
Central America, declare that your
note is opposed to the sovereignty and
dignity of our common country but
principally to the republic of Near
aqua; that we consider that the note
is not inspired by governments
friendly to our people and in conse-
quence we protest against the aggres-
sion which your government is prac-
ucing against Nicaragua, ana we can
upon all our cOuntrymen in Central
America ana abroad to be on the alert
with respect to the dominating and
absorbing tendencies of the American
government in order that should the I
occasion present itself they may act
as the patriotism and independence of
our five republics require"
