Minister for Foreign Affairs officially communicates to me to-day the Executive Decree of September 5, 1917 in which the President of the Republic, in conformity with the Act of Nicaraguan Congress of August 31, 1917, decrees
to appoint Ramon Enriquez to represent the Republic of Nicaragua, with full power and authority, in order that he may exercise all and any of the powers which by the law of August 31 last are conferred upon the Executive, and to sign and execute, in representation of the Republic, all and any of the contracts referring to this matter which Señor Enriquez may consider necessary.
Referring to the Department’s September 2 [1], 4 p.m.6 regarding request of Chamorro for payment of back salaries, now that Congress has passed the plan in legal form I suggest 50,000 dollars be allowed for back salaries.
