The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Panama (Martin)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, January 19, 1928—11
a.m.
11. For General McCoy. The situation in Managua is rapidly becoming more critical, especially because of the refusal of the Chamber of Deputies to approve the new electoral law and rumors that President Diaz may resign. I consider it most important that you proceed to Managua at once. The Navy Department should transport you from Panama by fastest boat available. Do not wait for Minister Eberhardt.
