Estrada asks envoy names a diplomatic agent
Titan Estrada leader of the present revolution in Nicaragua asks Secretary of State Knox for formal recognition of his provisional government. He says he controls the Atlantic coast from Greytown and has appointed Dr Salvador Cautrilla as agent to the United States and requests accreditation of a diplomat. The State Department states the US withholds recognition until de facto control and duties are fulfilled, then may credit a diplomat to the new government. The department remains neutral unless Alliance citizens are at risk. It notes the provisional government has not yet satisfied all requirements but may be recognized once possible. Zelaya’s government is cited with sympathy for Estrada movement. Bluefields and Rama are noted as the revolution’s consequence per Zelaya’s message.
