San José, May 16, 1917—3 p.m.
Joaquin Tinoco, de facto Minister of War, requests me to inquire if any objection to his entering the United States; that he contemplates going in a week to New York on private business to return in three Weeks. Probably another move to commit Department as he told me that some of the friends of González are giving him trouble and that he is going to ship a number of them to Salvador. Also rumors of expeditions against Tinoco and of growing unpopularity persistent. Quesada reported in Nicaragua coincidently.
Father, mother and sisters of González planning to leave for Panama tomorrow for health of father and are experiencing difficulty in obtaining necessary permit.
