GERMANY TO
INTERFERE
NICARAGUA?
Such Is Indication In Letter Written
by Wllhclm to Mailrlz Move
Causes. Much Worrying In Official
CirclesLetter Shows Utunlstnk
nhlo Hostility to United States.
WASHINGTON, 1). G, July 11.
That Gummay's opposition to tho
foreign policy itl tliu United states
inuy show itHelf liy interference in
Niouingim in holiuvcd ly Htato de
partment officials to liu indicated b
a letter from tliu kaiser to PicHidcut
Mutlrix of tliu littlu republic, a copy
of which Iiiih been received at Wash
ington. Tho lottor virtually recognizes thu
Mudr'u (ultninistrutiuii as tho gov
ernment of Nicaragua, although Ger-
many known tho United .Stolon holds
that Madrir. was not elected accord
intC lo tho Niunmguun administra
tion. "Great anil Gootl Friend."
"(I root and good friend," says tho
kaiser's lottor, which Is addressed to
Madrir.. "I am informed of your lot
tor saying your uxoollunoy was uloot
ud president by tho meritod confi
dence of your fellow-citizens. I beg
that you will accept my congratula
tions ami tho nssurnnroH that my
go eminent will uiidauvnr to main
tain and cultivate tho liost relations,
which already exist, hutwecu Ger
many and Nicaragua."
Tho letter was dated April 12(1.
That tho letter moans more than
its face value audit indicate is the
belief in official oirolos lioio. Ger
many lias lately in many ways shown
its disapproval of American foreign
policy ami has froipioutly endeavor
oil to frustrate moves made through
tho statu dcpaitmeut.
Is Hostile.
Its unmiHtakeahle hostility has
been shown, first in tho action of the
roichstmr, which in ululated Ameri
can contracts with Gorman mine-
owners, but later modified its ac
tion, allowing (ho contracts to stand;
second, in that tliu German-Amoii-can
exposition at llcrliu was aban
doned owing to the hostility of Gor
man iiiauufactururs toward the pro
ject; and third, after Turkey agreed
to Ameiicau concessions imoluug a
bundled million dollars for (he con
sti notion of u railway, Gciinauv pro
tested that tho proposed road iutor
, red with the Gorman lino to ling-
v dad nud violnted tliu luikish mining
iaws.
See Interference.
With this indication of hohtility,
tliu stato department officials are
disposed to sou in Germany's nom
inal recognition of Madrisr. still fur
ther signs of interference. It is oven
intimated unofficially that Gorman
intervention in Nicaragua in favor of
Mailriz and against Estrada, provis
ional president mid revolutionary
leader, may follow.
If Germany really wishes to cause
miuovancu to tho United States it
could hardly havo picked out a bet
tor matter in which to interfere than
tho Nicaragua case, in the opinion
of diplomats here.
Are Worrying ,
No matter that has come up biuco
Knox has been iiecretary of statu has
caused tho dcpaitmeut more worry,
it is declared, Since the revolution
