The Minister in Nicaragua ( Jefferson ) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received December 24—5:10 p.m.]
68. Yesterday Congress declared Diego Chamorro elected President and Bartolomé Martínez Vice President.
Apparently no agreements have been made between President elect and opposition parties which are awaiting Department’s decision. I believe announcement of Department’s decision will aid materially in clearing up political situation.
Chargé d’Affaires of Honduras informed me he had instructions from the President of Honduras not to attend the inaugural of the President Don Diego unless I attend. I desire instructions regarding my attendance.
