[Telegrams—Paraphases.]

American Legation,
Managua, January 1, 1912.

The president of Costa Rica, Jiménez, informs the Nicaraguan Chargé d’Affaires in Costa Rica that a movement on Nicaragua from Costa Rica is imminent; that the President of Guatemala, Estrada Cabrera, is supporting Irias in this connection; that the Liberals of Nicaragua have telegraphed Irias to act immediately or they will drop him. The President of Nicaragua, however, does not fear anything of a serious nature unless Mena or Chamorro should further the movement.
