The Chargé in Nicaragua (Dennis) to the Secretary of State

Corinto, October 25, 1926—10 a.m.
[Received 6:56 p.m.]

178. Referring to Department’s number 95, October 20, 11 a.m.31 Admiral Latimer inquires whether use of the term “belligerents” by the Department indicates recognition of belligerency by the United States. I understand there is no recognition of belligerency but admission of insurgency by the United States Government in respect of contending factions on Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Please instruct. Repeated to Admiral.
