The Minister in Nicaragua (Eberhardt) to the Secretary of State

214. My 212, May 15, 5 p.m. Despite the President’s announcement, 11 of the 19 members of the Conservative directorate met yesterday, summoned by the secretary, and began the work of passing upon the credentials of the delegates to the Conservative Convention. This shows clearly that Chamorro controls the majority of the directorate.
[Page 490]Cuadra Pasos stated definitely this morning that his faction will hold a separate convention unless a compromise is reached before Sunday.43
