John II. Gregory, Jr. former sec
retary and charge d'affairs of v the
American Legation at Managua, Nica
ragua, has-been in XVashington for
severl weeks preparing a report upon
political- conditions in Nicaragua.
'Mr. Gregory was recalled on March
12, because of the strained, relations
between the -United States and Nica
ragua, which - developed as a result
of the negotiations for the settle-
Mr. Gregory had several confer
ences with Secretary of State Knox
shortly after his arrival in Washing
ton, in which he gave a detail account
of the treatment he had. received in
Managua.
Tfa details of his report have never
been made public, but it is known
that the Nicaraguah government tam
pered with Mr. Gregory's official ais
patches; and did other things to har-
rass him. I
The post at Managua has not been
a comfortable one for the American
diplomatic representative ior some
time. Last summer the Nicaraguan
government made it so hot for J. G.
Coolidge, then minister there, that he
asked, to be transferred. The fctaie
Department was unable to comply
with this request, and Mr. Coolidge
resigned from the diplomatic service
rather than remain at Managua,
According -to letters received at
Mobile, Ala., 'the report that Mr.
Gregory was virtually a prisoner at
Managua is confirmed.
These letters were from several in
dividuals of reputation in the Nica
raguan capital, and agreed in the
particulars of the indignities put
upon the American charge.
They said that Mr. Gregory was
watched by spies day and night, and
that soldiers were at every entrance
of his residence, the -'American lega
tion. Whenever he left the latter he
was shadowed, the minions of the
Nicaraguan dictator being none too
polite in their surveillance, and on
many occasions minor officers of the
Zelaya government openly Insulted
