AMERICAN AID OFFERED.
Vague Reports of Further Fflibusters
Are Received Here.

By the Associated Press.
American cooperation, to the extent
possible toward restoration of peace
in Nicaragua. has been offered.
A response to that effect has been
made by the state Department to the
request Of President Diaz for Ameri-
can aid. The form Of the communica-
ton was not revealed, nor was any
further indication given Of the nature
of the cooperation contemplated.
Good Offices Asked.
The Diaz communication. however,
was described at the White House
Yesterday as a request for good off1ces.
and there is no doubt that a renewed
tender of the offices Of Lawrence Den
mis-. American charge at Managua, IN
an effort to induce Nicaraguan Liber'
ais to accept peace proposals made by
President Diaz, has been authorized.
No commitment Of the Washington
Government to any further action Is
involved.
Such additional advices as have been
received regarding intentions OF the
Liberals are not encouraging. Vague
reports of further unidentified fill
clustering expeditions to Nicaragua
continued to crop up. There has been
some indication that Vice President
sacasa, credited with having negoti-
ated In Mexico City for several arms
shipments for the Liberal revolution
aries in Nicaragua after his mission
to the United States, that proved un-
fruitful, is planning to rejoin his col
leagues in Nicaragua at an early date.
No official confirmation of this report
was obtainable.
Move Is Gesture.
The renewed offer Of good offices to
settle the Nicaraguan turmoil Is more
or less a gesture, since Mr.. Dennis
has been continuously eXerting every
effort to that end. having fostered
the abortive peace conference at Co.
rinto. The Washington Government
has not elected to avail itself Of the
invitation for more forceful interven-
ton as implied in the Diaz' request
and there Is no indication that 1t is
preparing to employ American naval
forces for any other purpose than TO
protect American lives and property
