HLAYA SEES PLAN
TO ANNEX MEXICO
Former Nicaraguan Presi
dent Alleges Plot to Grab
Land to Canal.

PARIS, March 15.-Former President
Zelaya of Nicaragua, in an interview in
the newspaper Midi, asserted today that
he had abundant inforpation to prove
that the United States plans the con-
quest of Mexico, Guatemala; Honduras,
Salvador, and Nicaragua, after which
they are to be annexed to the United
States.
THE present movement of troops to-
ward the Mexican border" said Zelaya,
who Is one of the closest friends Presi-
dent DiaZ of Mexico has, has only one
object-conquest. For years the United
States has maintained in Central Amer
lea insurgent bands who were kept sup
piled with money and arms.
''The vast mineral wealth Of the Cen
trail American republics and the natural
resources of Mexico are coveted by the
Americans.
plans were made by the American
State Department to hoodwink the
American people. Talk Of plots against
American interests and statements re-
garding that secret treaty between Mex
leo and Japan were circulated in order
to stir up feeling against Mexico. Simi-
lar tactics were pursued in the case of
my country when It was said we were
planning to kill Americans without
trial, although these Americans were
captured with arms in their hands d.
rected against an established and rec
ognized government. The whole plan
originated from the desire to steal all
and the southern boundary Of the
United States"

Makes a Difference.
The AMBASSADOR admitted that the
place Of capture wouldlaf1ect the i'm
prisonment of the two insurgents. The
attitude OF the Mexican government is
that foreign insurrectos, captured with
the rebel army and on Mexican soil,
should share imprisonment just the
same as a Mexican revolutionist.

Indications that the State Department
Is disposed to look sharply after the
welfare Of American citizens in Mexico
were not wanting at the department to-
day.
Acting Secretary of State Huntington
wilson discussed the case of Edwin
Blatt and Lawrence Converse, Ameri-
cans, who are held in Jail at Juarez.
Mr.. Wilson said all the reports received
Dy the department from Consul Ed
wards at Juarez. and from other
sources were that the two men were ar
rested on American soil. The Mexican
authorities contend the arrests were on
Mexican soil, but the Department of
state is upheld, Mr.. Wilson admitted,
by the Investigations Of agents of the
har rtment Of Justice who have looked
into the facts.
The Acting Secretary of State said
1t had not been determined how the
facts would be settled on as between
the two governments. He pointed out
II was a simple question of fact which !
ought to be easy of adjustment. If 1t |
developed that the two Americans had |
been arrested on Mexican soil, then it |
would be quite different question from
the one presented If they had been ar |
rested on American soil. 1t would then |
ne question of seeing that they were |
given fair and impartial trials in Mexi- |
co.

Demonstration Against
Mexico Would Follow
Killing of Americans

That the gravest sort of possibilities
for warlike complications with Mexico
exist in connection with the threatened
execution of American citizens by the
Diaz government, is admitted on all
hands here.
1t is perfectly clear that If anything
like a wholesale murder of American
citizens occurs at the instance of the
Diaz government, a storm of resent
ment will arise in this country that will
make 1t impossible for the Administra-
ton to halt our troops at the border.
Wide difference exists in the atttf-
tude toward and explanation of the
United States and Mexican govern
ments of the seizure of the two
Americans near the border.
Returning to Washington from New
York today. Ambassador de la Barra,
of Mexico. found a diplomatic inquiry
from the State Department concern
ing the cause OF the Imprisonment OF
two Americans. Edwin Blatt and
Lawrence Converse, who have been
held prisoners at Juarez since Feb
ruary %.
The ambassador evidently scouts
the talk of possible serious inter-
national complications because Of the
imprisonment of the two Americans,
the manner of seizure of whom seems
to be matter of dispute The Mexi-
can ambassador says that his infor-
nation is that insurgents BIatt and
Converse were captured on Mexican
territory.
