Ulttimatum and
APPEALS TO CONGRESS
President of Nicaragua VIII, 1t Is
Reported, Ask Congress to Inter-
ferc With the State Department
Program-Mcn Supposed to be His
Agents Reach Washington.

Agents reach Washington.
President Zelaya has not only re-
fused to take official coguizance of
Secretary KnoX's note. which was
practically an ultimatum, but no is
declared to have dispatched special
agents to Washington to endeavor to
have the State departments ulti-
matum set aside. first by appeals
to the department. and secondly by
direct appeals to memb bers Of Con-
sress. The State department is en-
tireiy aware OF the presence and
identity OF these emissaries. These
special agents are being watched IN
general way.
1t was reported that any attempt
that Zelaya might make to escape
from the country would receive the
direct and vigorous attention of the
American warships now lying OF the
coasts OF Nicaragua. Secretary Knox
mas intimated in the piainest Ian
guage that the State department
looks upon Zelaya as the man re-
sponsible for the torture and death
or the two Americans. Groce and
Cannon.
The plan to defect the United
States government program with ref
erence to Nicaragua came to light
when Senor Fernando Sanchez and
Dr. V. NJ. Roman arrived at Wash
ington. Neither Senor Sanchez nor
Dr. Roman would talk. They gave
their address as New York.
Members of the Central American
diplomatic corps. however. were IN
a futter whom they discovered tho
new arrivals. Senor Sanchez. they
declared. Ia a partner OF Zelaye in

long has been Senor Sachcz's bust
ness adviser. and he also Is q close
friend and adherent OF Zelaya.
During Friday afternoon and earlv
evening more than score of tele-
grams were dispatched from Senor
Sanchez's rooms. Almost an equally
''NAAAbNA ntlt received. MIS-
Geographic activity tho Central
Americans insist. is aimed at mem
befs OF Congress. with a view of
winning over enough OF them to
render the Administrations present

is presented TO Congress
Or. Salvador Castrillo, the diplo
matte agent OF the provisional gov
ernment OF Nicaragua and reprcsen-
tative of the revolutionists, here,
made formal request TO Secretary
Knox that he be received on equal
terms with the agents of the Zelaya
government. II is generally believ-
ed that Dr. Castrlllo's request viii
be granted
While making all preparations for
action, this government has resumed
the claim that preceded the Issue of
Secretary Knox's note There were
no developments in tho State de-
partment Friday. To all appearance
es the department is marking time"
until occasion arrives for further
action. >
