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

Managua, February 28, 1927—noon.
[Received 2:45 p.m.]

59. A delegation of prominent Liberal leaders was commissioned by vote of a party caucus held last week in Managua to proceed on a mission to Moncada’s headquarters somewhere in or near Matiguas or Tierra Azul, Department of Matagalpa, to make representations to Moncada in favor of an immediate armistice and a peaceful settlement with Diaz. I have arranged safe conducts and for two Marine officers to accompany them through the hostile lines. The delegation expects to leave tomorrow or day after.
