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

Managua, March 13, 1928—10 p.m.
[Received March 14 (?)—11:15 a.m.]

117. Chamber of Deputies rejected the electoral law this evening by a vote reported to be 24 to 18. Apparently Cuadra Pasos and the President, despite their positive assurances repeated as late as this noon, failed to change the votes of more than one or two Conservative Deputies. We shall see the President early in the morning and shall thereafter telegraph further regarding our contemplated plan of action.
