What Will Happen to

quiet settled today on the strained stu
alton in which this government finds
itself with Nicaragua. But If every
thing were quiet ON the surface there
was plenty stirring beneath.
\ communication was received at
the state department from the Mica
raguan legation, the purport of which
was not divuIged. and the ministers
from Guatemala and Costa Rica held a
mysterious conference with Assistant
Secretary Wilson,
A significant development of the day,
inasmuch as it disclosed this govern
mcntis determination not to interfere
with the Nicaraguau revolutionlsts, was
the reiterated announcement that the
state department would not act TO IN.

noupccmcnt was made as a result OF

the conference between Assistant Sec
rotary Wilson. Senor Calvo, minister
from Costa Rica and DR. Harrartc. min
istcr from Guatemala, IL is believed
that the infraction of the existing Pan
American treaty, signed two years ago,
was the chief matter discussed. The
violation was committed by General
Toledo. in command of President Ie-
lava : forces, when he invaded Costa
Rican territory III his advance on Grey
town.
In the threatened trouble between
Nicaragua and Venezuela a short time
ago the United States stood ready TO
prevent he passage of belligerents
across the neutral territory of Hon
duras. This is pointed OUT by diplo-
mats as indicative of the gravity of
General Toledo s offense against the
