69. Mr. Willey, American citizen who accompanied as guide peace commission to Moncada, has telephoned me this afternoon at 4 on return to Matagalpa that mission had conferred with Moncada and Beltran Sandoval at Muy Muy. Moncada, while not committing himself, seemed not unwilling to treat for peace but said he would only treat through me as American Minister. The mission was expected to return tomorrow night to Managua when more complete details will be telegraphed. Admiral Latimer is sending 140 men to Matagalpa tomorrow.
