It Is not unlikely that there viii be un-

to believe that President zelaya, % Mic

Some days ago the Secretary Of State
addressed a note to the Nicaraguan Min
lister setting forth the demands OF the

sumed that Zelaya is not willing 10 accede

and for this reason Nicaragua's reply to
the State Department has been delayed.
