The Chargé in Guatemala (Ellis) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10 p.m.]
95. This morning I discussed with Doctor Sacasa the contents of Department’s telegram of October 22, 5 p.m., Military Attaché Gwynn being present. Sacasa demonstrating [sic] no definite or pertinent reply but explained at great length his personal position, pointing out that he is not a member of the revolution but an independent worker for the maintenance of the treaties and a constitutional order in Nicaragua. He said that he had received no information from Liberals at the peace conference and did not know whether they considered it best to continue the revolution. He admitted that his party had sought arms and ammunition from all possible sources. He refused to discuss Mexican or Central American participation but did not deny their intervention on behalf of Liberals in Nicaragua.
