[Received January 10—10:50 p.m.]
4. … The Foreign Minister asks me to request the Department of State to indicate to the Nicaraguan Government that rumors of revolutionary movement have reached Washington and that the United States Government expects Nicaragua to take measures to prevent, or such other language as the Department deems expedient. S. F. Hopkins cabled Membreño2 recently from Washington that the Government of the United States would take no part in the interior affairs of Honduras. Vice Consul Miller3 wires insistent reports in his district that the President elect will not be seated. Membreño leaving ostensibly for Panama. Intercepted correspondence alleges support of the power of [sic] Nicaragua and the freedom of the Nicaraguan frontier. Revolutionary forces are to rendezvous from this date on, and on January 25th. to commence fighting.
