United States Government Learns
That Southern Neighbor Will In.
sist That Madrz BE Recognized as
President Of Nicaragua.

Washington Dec. 81. A crisis in
Central and South American affairs
not contemplated by the United
States government has grown out of
the Nicaraguan war.
The Importance of the situation was
realized thoroughly at the state de-
partment and Secretary Knox will
consult with the president on the lat

best way of meeting 1t.
Mexico In Rebellion.
The new situation involves not only
the rebellion of Mexico against the
dominance of the United States as the
guardian of all the Americas, but II
also threatens the Monroe doctripe.
in that European embassies and lega-
tions in Washington sympathize with
Mexico.
Senior Creel, former ambassador to
Washington, was sent here as a spe.
cial envoy in the Nicaraguan affair.
In spite of the statement of the state
department that II would hold Zelaya
personally responsible for murder Sc
nor Creel succeeded in getting Zelaya
out of Nicaragua into Mexico, from
which country Zelaya is giving de-
fiance to the United States.
Mexico Desires Recognition Of Madriz.
Senior Creel called at the state de-
partment to say good-by This was
done I'm an unofficial capacity, as he
had not been recognized as an envoy,
and Senor Creel has issued state
ments, saying that everything was
peaceful between the United States
and Mexico. The United States gov

The United States will regard the
recognition Of Madriz by any other
government as an act of international
discourtesy. Mexico however, expects
that such recognitions will be made
and Senior Creel has, or says he has
assurances that Mexico will be sup
ported by Europe. Mexico's stake is
the dictatorship of policies toward
Latin-American countries.
