The Minister in Guatemala (McMillin) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 28—9:30 a.m.]
60. I find no disposition among the members diplomatic corps here to recognize provisional government. Most of them oppose it. General sentiment inclines to abide final action of the United States. Under instructions of his Government the Nicaraguan Chargé d’Affaires ignored the provisional government when sending notices to the Legations of raising the flag in commemoration of Nicaraguan independence. Costa Rica instructed her Legation against all action savoring of recognition.

Mendrano and Montufar were slated for Washington as representatives of the provisional government but departure delayed. Escamilla minister in Herrera Cabinet recently released from prison has applied to Government for passport alleging he was out of political affairs. Quiet prevails.
