State Department Instructs Consul q.
Manaeua to Report on and Aid
Wounded Americans.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The state de-
partment has required its vice consul
at Managua to report on the condition
of any Americans who might be in
the Nicaraguan hospitals and to rem
der them such assistance as may be
consistent with our obligations to
these men. This carefully worded in
struction to the American consular of
ficers in Nicaragua was issued in re
Spouse to the appeals from relatives

as, and of other Americans with the
insurgent army, who were either
wounded or taken prisoners in the re-
cent clash near Tisma and Granada
1t is possible that detailed report
in reply to these instructions will be

BITTER AGAINST U. S.
Honduras Resents Attitude of the
United States Toward the Ze-
layan Government.
tHerald Specially

Tecucigalpa, Spanish Honduras,
Feb. 2S.-The sentiment against the
United States and Americans in gen.
eral has reached such point in Hon
duras that the proposition of the Nor
gan railroad loan is considered as al
most certain to be rejected. Con-
gress has been in session nearly two
months now but practically nothing
has been done, owing to the deadlock
on the question of the attitude to be
taken toward the United States.
Several concessions to Americans
were introduced in congress today for
ratification, but such storm of pro
test was raised that they were quick
ly withdrawn. The anti-American
demonstration is entirely due to the
attitude of the limited States toward
the Zelayan government in Nicaragua.
The radical members of congress and
the natives fear the same spirit will
be shown toward them.
