The Minister in Nicaragua (Lane) to the Acting Secretary of State

18. My 16, January 18, 3 p.m. Private secretary to the President has just shown me decode of telegram from President Carías stating:

1.
He is awaiting arrival of Crisanto Sacasa to fix form of recognition and to learn President Sacasa’s plan (this telegram apparently crossed Sacasa’s letter to Carías of this morning).
2.
Ubico believes recognition should be made simultaneously January 25.
3.
American Legation states that Washington will grant recognition immediately thereafter.
4.
Awaiting President Sacasa’s reply.

Repeated to Tegucigalpa.
