KNOX DESIRES TO
MAKE HASTE SLOWLY
Asks Senate Committee to Post
pOne Investigation of Con-
diti0ns in Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Sccretary
Knox today requested the senate com
mittce on foreign relations to postpone
the suggested investigation OF tho Mica
raguan situation until he was able to
give the committee IL clear understand
ing Of Central American affairs
The committee was called together
today by Chairman Cullom with the
idea of having Secretary Knox make
some statement, but agreed to the post
ponement.
Because of this request the resolution
introduced by Senator Rayner IN con,
nection with the execution by order or
President Zelaya of the two Americans,
Cannon and Groce, was not taken up.
There WAS some discussion of the
visit TO this country of Mexico s spe-
cial ambassador. Senor Enrique Creel:
Published interviews with Senor Crcel
have represented him as coming with n
view TO acting rs a sort of mediator
in any trouble between tho United
States and Nicaragua over tho eXecu-
tion of the two Americans
The opinion was expressed that Scnor
Creel should be received by this govern
ment as the ambassador OF President
Diaz TO present any views Mexico may
have in regard to the future of Mica
ragua or other Central American states,
or that he could not be received IN the
capacity of q mediator between Mica
ragua and tho United States.

SHORE SERVICE PROBLEM
IS VEXING THE NAVY

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 15.-Thc
NicaragUan situation has caused navy
officials some perplcXity as to the
availability Of marines on battleships
for service in that country
The difficulty presents itself by rea-
son of the proviso tackled on the naval
appropriation bill by the last congress
by which the money was to be available
only on condition that tho marines were
restored TO- duties hitherto assigned.
This made il obligatory that the ma
rines. who had been taken off all the
vessels IN the navy on which they wero
serving, be restored to the ships.
The question now arises as to the
availability of the marines on the YES.
sells of the navy for duty on shore.
There is said to be no doubt in the
minds of naval officers that the marines
might be landed for temporary duty.
But. If the demand for service con
tinue, naval officials are not so sure
as TO how long they would be justified
III keeping the marines ashore
One authority has taken the position
that the marines could be kept there,
even after the vessel TO which they had
been assigned had sailed away. Others
maintain that this would be plain
violation of law
Approaching the feelings of congress
on the subject Of keeping the marines
on the vessels, the navy department is
SAID to be determined to go slow in try.
ing TO have the law amended. but it is
no secret that it would be pleased If
congress would change the law

NO DOUBT ZELAYA
IS OBJECT OF SCORN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Yester
DAYS dispatches containing an account
of the anti-Zelayan demonstration IN
Mauagua were confirmed by telegram
received at the state department. from
Vice Consul Caldcra.
From this dispatch, dated yesterday
it appears that some of the demon
strants were arrested by government
authorities, but who the prisoners were
was not indicated. The dispatch says
Zelaya has published a statement prom
ising to resign the presidency OF Nica-
ragua in favor of DR.. Madriz, who, as
Zclaya IS candidate. is not the choice OF
the people there.
Mr.. Caldcra, in speaking of tho dem
onstration the night before, says large
crowds surrounded the American lega-
tion cheering the government and peo-
pie of the United States.
In the absence Of any specific infor-
nation. the state department officials
discredit the news published some days
ago Of any important engagements be
tween the government and revolution
AIRY forces at Rama in which the revolu-
tionary army is said 10 have been de-
Ieated.
The fact that the government has re-
ceived no information on the subject
is regarded as almost proof positive
mat no engagement mas taken place at
Rama.
Should Zelaya carry out his purpose
of resigning and installing Madriz as
president, there is reason TO believe
that the Estrada faction would CON
time their activities with even greater
vigor than they have against Zelaya.
The people, il is SAID, cannot look for
better conditions under Madriz's ad
mnistration than under Zelaya s, as ne
is known 10 be strong partisan of
the former, although he has himself
been a number of times in prison by
Iclaya S direct orders. 1t is also known
that Madriz's selection would not be
satisfactory to the United States, and
therefore his installation would rather
tend to ccmplicate than to simplify the
situation
