There are indications that Mexico Will
follow the same course toward the Ds-
trada government OF Nicaragua that the
United States adopted toward the Madrtz
government. II has transferred Senior
Rosas. Mexican minister to Nicaragua, %
Costa Rica, and probably will have no
direct diplomatic relations with Nicaragua
pending the election OF a constitutional
president.
Although the United States recognizes
Gen. Estrada as the head OF the party I'm
actual control In Nicaragua, II IL not
likely to open diplomatic relations with
him except in the event of his regular
election as the executive OF the country
In accordance with the constitution.
Estrada May Have Opposition.
Latest advices indicate that trouble Is
probable in the presidential contest and
that Gems. Chamorra and Mena may be
rival candidates against Gen. Estrada
Gen. Estrada Is having some difficulty
with the peace commissioners appointed
by his brother. Jose Estrada. He In ex-
pected to reacn Managua at the head Of
his victorious troops today and assume
active control of governmental affatrs.
Harmony may then be restored among
the various parties In contention.
The governments OF Honduras and
Costa Rica have officially invited DIR.
Madriz. deposed president OF Nicaragua,
to move on.
That accounts for the announcement
that Madriz. who fled from Nicaragua
to Amapala, the little Honduranean L.

is about to leave for Mexico. Il only
partly explains. however. the departure
OF the generals who aed with MadTtx
from Honduras to Costa Rica.
Costa Rica Observes Pact.
The action Of Honduras and Costa Raca
WAS based on an article Of the Washing-
ton convention to which the Central
american republics were sisnatories.
There 1t was provided that the leaders
Of faction in one country should not

visions OF the treaty.
The action has excited all the more
comment in Washington because Of the
close relations of Zeiaya, the former
NicaraSuan president. both TO the pres

Madriz.
Not Bothering About Madriz.
The United States is understood to be
taking no great interest I'm the where
abouts Of Madriz. Ii is said that the
only anxiety OF this government u to
see that no further strife be stirred up in
Nicaragua. and that opportunity be giyea
now for the organization of a permanent
government.
The State Department expects that
Gen. Estrada will undertake that work
Immediately.
