factional trouble
The United States IS understood TO be IN
different regarding the location Of Madri5
as long as no further strife is stirred up in
Nicaragua
The reported protest of General Estrada
regarding the landing of arms and ammu-
milton from the MadriZ gunboat Venus in
Costa Rican territory. and her subsequent
sale. has not reached the State Depart
nent The incident is regarded here as
raising a delicate point IN International law.
II is believed that the Washington officials
would take the attitude, if they should be
called on TO act on the question, that the
Venus has become the property of the pro-
visional government Of Nicaragua
Mad-iz is not going to Mexico at the in
vitation of that country, in the opinion of
Senior Rfcoy charge d affaires of the Mex

why the Mexican government should pre-
vent the visit.
The charge added that the departure OF
BartoIomeno Carbajary Rosas, Mexican
Minister to Nicaragua, from Managua for
Costa Rfca where he is also accredited,
was due merely 70 the fact that the Mexi-
can government has not yet recognized the
Estrada faction as the government of
Nicaragua. The departure was not meant
TO show hostility to the Estrada cause
