THE MEXICAN SITUATlOr J VERY TEFE Relation Between United States and Mexico Becoming Strain v ed Over Nicaragua WILL HELP ZELAYA Nlciraguan Situation Is Becoming the Mexican Situation Senor:; Creel, Special Envoy From Mexico to United States Visited the President yesterday and Made Known That Mexico Wants to Help Zelaya Get Out of the ' Country Safely Doesn't Want Him Pnnlslied His Conduct in Nicaragua, for (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 18 United States and Central American history Is being made rapidly these dayH. What; at this moment la the NIcaraguan situation, is rapidly be coming the "Mexican situation," and if It progresses very , much ; farther will prove to be a very different and more serious affair than our present little misunderstanding with a two-for-a-quarter government., , Within the last twenty-four hours the situation, Insofar as it concerns Mexico, has suddenly become tense, as a result of the. visit to President Tatt yesterday afternoon of Senpr , Enrique Cree),. special, envoy to the United States from, Mexico. ' Senor Creel, it Is understood, explained to the president and to Secretary , of State Knox, who" Was, also present, .that through strong friendship for President Zelaya, Mexico la anxious to assist the NIcaraguan president to leave' his country safely soon after his successor is elected. To this the president, in diplomatic language, raised a decided objection, asserting that as Zelaya decided some time ago to ignore the wishes of this government and to, practically flout it, in connection with the execution of Cannon and Groce, the United States was now determined to punish him for his acts. It was further explain ed to Senor Creel that his request for safe conduct for Zelaya, from Nicara gua to a Mexican war vessel at some NIcaraguan port on the west coast must be denied,' as it wis this gov ernment's intehtion to cause Zelaya's detention untii he can be arrested by the revolutionists and severely pun ished. The issue, therefore, Is not very far from being Joined as the lawyers express it, between this country and Mexico. Just to" what extent Presi dent Diaz will permit things to go, so far as his government is concerned, is of course, unknown here, "but it is believed he will go to the extreme lengths in hip determination to save his NIcaraguan' friend to whom ...he owes a debt of deep obligation. It is expected that Zelaya will, within a few days, seek to make hi way to the coast, if not to Corinto then to some other point less conspicuous agreed upon, where he will be met by a Mexican ship of war and taken to Mexican territory, where he will be safe from the United.States ven geance. Should the United States take steps to patrol the coast , with some of the numerous warships now at or near Corinto, In order yto pre vent Zelaya from teaching the deck of a Mexican gunboat, and he should succeed in thus gaining the protec- lion or tne Mexican nag oerore he reai significance.

Not until today was it generally known that there would be a joint action of the countv commissioners and the city aldermen. The recorder ship was established by the general assembly with the provision that as It is a county and city court the two should unite in the election of the Judges in the future. Judge R. H. Svkes, who was made first recorder, was named in the bill creating the office and he has rounded out his first year with great credit to himself. He has been uniformly fair and de liberate. Judge Sykes may have opposition, but there is a growing feeling that he should be allowed a term by elec tion without having to scramble for it. He is of the judicial tempera ment, understands the job and Is now prepared to do his best work. His court has been a recognized power in meeting local conditions and the dockets of the superior court are much more easily handled by reason of it. - Citv Attorney Everett liaR held the plifce longer than any other city at torney and the prosecuting officer of the recorder's court is himself.
