Situation in NICARAGUA.

Washington. December 30.--The sit
uation in Nicaragua presents Some
diplomatic niceties in relation to the
propriety of recognizing the govern
ment of Madriz by the Central Amer

ident Madriz should receive no recog :
milton on the part of the Central Amer
ican republics beyond that which would
be accorded to the leader of a faction.
Because OF the close relations main
tained by Zeaya with Honduras, it IS
expected that government may be fore
most in doing anything that Will tend
to strengthen the authority or Madilz,
but there would be great surprise shouiu
such action be taken by Mexico without
a ureyious understanding With the Unit
ed States.
1t is pointed out here that as the Unit
