(COnLlnuGQ from FIRST PaRe.)
the administration was contemplating
withdrawal of it's naval forces from
the Central American republic.
A State Department announcement
telling of the plea of the British-Ital
ian representatives said:
THE Department of State has been
informed by the American Minister at
Managua that the British and Italian
charge d'affaires have made repre-.
sensations to him that they consider
their subjects in imminent peril in
the present situation without outside
protection and that he concurs in
these views which represent the con-
census there among the Americans
and other foreigners"
No other comment was Forthcoming
from the department as to the situa-
ton which led to the decision to land
this new force in the Nicaraguan re-
public, where previously naval con-
tingents had established neutral zones
in which the two contending groups
were not permitted to carry on hos
tilities.
Neither would the department COM
ment as to what the movement sig
nif1ed in relation to American policy
in the factional warfare in progress.
The State Department comment
made no mention of specific peril to
foreigners in Managua, or of the
movement of Liberal troops toward
the capital.
Coincident with the announcement
of the landing of the additional ma
rines, the Pan-American Federation
Of Labor issued statement declar-
ing Secretary Kellogg had committed
an error when he recognized the gov
eminent Of President Diaz. which is
opposed by the Liberals, headed by
Juan B. Sacasa. Sacasa has been
recognized by Mexico.
The American recognition, the state
ment said, has caused unnecessary i'll
feeling against the moral prestige of
the democratic American institutions
all over the world" because it was
useless unjust and inimical to the
people" of both countries.
The movement follows an announce
ment yesterday at the White House
that President Coolidge was solicitous
not only to protect the lives and prop
erty of Americans engaged in COM
mercial enterprises in Nicaragua, but
also to safeguard rights granted the
United States under its treaty with
Nicaragua providing for American
rights in perpetuity for construction
Of an interoceanic canal and for estab-
lishment Of American naval bases in
Nicaragua to protect both the Panama
Canal and the Nicaraguan Canal
route.
Dispatches said that the marines
would be used as a guard for the
American legation at Managua and
that high officials of the DiaZ govern
ment, which is recognized by the
United States, regarded their arrival
as timely and state they would save
the country from a state of anarchy.
They added that Nicaragua had enjoy
ed its greatest period of prosperity
and economic stability during the 13
years the American marines were
stationed at Managua before their
withdrawal in August, 1925.
No word has reached officials here
as to the possibility of victorious
march on Managua by the Liberals
under the leadership Of Juan S.
Sacasa, recognized as Nicaragua's
President by Mexico, but additional
news advices from the Nicaraguan
capital say the Conservatives, short
of arms, have requested the Ameri-
can legation to seek the raising of
the American embargo on the i'm
portation of munitions.
