MANAGUA, Nicaragua. December
11.-President Adolfo Diaz of Nicara-
qua today issued a manifesto In
which he renewed his accusations
that the Mexican government is ac-
lively supporting the present Liberal
revolutionary movement In this
country.
He charged that reliable informa-
ton indicated that officials of the
Mexican government were Quitting
vessel which, with an armed ex-
pedition. would proceed shortly to
Nicaragua under the escort of Mexi-
can gunboats to make war against
his government.
Asserting that successful Mexican
Interference in the government OF
Nicaragua would mean the confisca-
tion of private property, the denial
of religious freedom, communism and
political disorder, President Diaz call
ed upon the Liberal revolutionists to
make peace with his government.
Peace. general amnesty, compensa-
tion for revolutionary losses on the
basis of political fair play and a ma
tional government In which the Liber
al party would be assured equitable
participation are promised to the
revolutionists.
Warns Other Countries.
Soliciting the cooperation of all
Nicaraguans and the moral support
of the nations of the world, President
Diaz warned Central American gov
ernments that their sovereignty
- tn
obtain a foothold in Nicaragua by
materially aiding in the overthrow of
the present Conservative regime
which had been recognized by the
United States.
President DiaZ in his manifesto d.
rectly accused President Gales of the
desire to erect a political order in
Nicaragua. with the aid OF a Mica
raguan political faction, which would
follow the recent sinister examples
of Mexico.
He said that his government cher
ished the warmest feelings of SYM
pathy and racial kinship with the
Mexican people, but that it felt a
solemn obligation to set it's face reso-
lutely against the efforts of the Gales
regime to interfere in Nicaragua.
The Conservative government. the
Presidents manifesto said. did not at
tack the political tendencies and pol
icies OF Mexico so long as they were
restricted to that country, hut II
would fight against the Introduction
of those ideas and practices into
Nicaragua through a revolution sup
ported by Mexico.
Makes Peace Plea.
The Liberal party. which has set up
a government. recognized by Mexico.
under former Vice President Juan
Sacasa at Puerto Cabezas, on the east
coast of Nicaragua, Is assured OF
equitable participation in. the Con-
servative government If 1t will give
heed to his appeal for peace.
"My government" President Diaz
says, "has information that the Mex
lean government. following the same
policy which impelled it to equip and
dispatch last August to the Pacific
coast of Nicaragua an armed expedi-
ton on the Mexican vessel FL Tropi-
co. is now organizing and equipping
another expedition of even more
proportions to BE launched
from Puerto Mexico. Mexico, against
the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua.
1T Is understood from reliable
sources that it Is the plan of the
Mexican government that the vessel
Superior, now being outfitted by off,
cials of the Mexican government
with an armed expedition, should
proceed shortly to Nicaragua under
the escort of Mexican gunboats for
the purpose of making war against
the constitutional government OF
Nicaragua over which I preside. In
bringing to the attention of the
Nicaraguan and foreign public these
manifest designs of the Mexican gov
ernment to make war without any
provocation on my government
the agency OF Mexican mill
tary and naval officials and certain
calling themselves con-
my government affirms
its confidence in its ability under
any normal conditions to maintain
order in the republic and to re-
establish its control over certain re-
mote and sparsely inhabited regions
Of the Atlantic coast now held by
the Liberal revolutionists.
Fears Mexican Interference.
1.-The members Of the Conserva-
tive party supporting my govern
ment cherish the warmest feelings
Of sympathy. racial kinship and fell
lowship of ideals with the Mexican
people. but my government feels a
solemn obligation TO set its face
against the efforts of the
Mexican government. as now di-
rected by President Gales, to erect
D political order in Nicaragua, with
the aid of q Nicara guam political
faction. which, following the recent
sinister examTses of its progenitor,
would conf1scate property, deny re-
igious freedom, close churches, ban
ssh ministers of religion and estab-
lish In general In Nicaragua the
manifold evils of communism and
political disorder now only too ap-
parent in Mexico.
MY government feels that many
worthy Nicaraguans. members of the
historic and illustrious Liberal
party Of this country of noble tradi-
ions. have in the blindness of polit-
cal passion allied themselves with
he forces of communism, radicaiism
md religious persecution now in
control and running rampant in
Mexico, but not representative of
what Is believed to be the true Senti-
nents Of a large majority of the
Mexican people. My government be-
ieves that these Nicaraguan Liber-
Ills, on due reflection upon the
ragic consequences which they might
BRING upon their native land by aiding
n turning 1t over to the horrors of the
regime of President Gales of such
fame throughout the world,
WILL because of their inherent pa
.riotism and love of country, their
owe of their religion and their re-
,pect for the rights of property, de-
,ide to accept the olive branch ef
peace which my government ever
holds out to them."
