Nicaragua Settling Down.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 27, 1912:
No Truth Feared Over the Elections — American Warships Leave.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.— The situation in Nicaragua is improving, according to dispatches to the Washington Government. The Liberals, who started the recent revolution, have shown no disposition to place a Presidential ticket in the field, and probably will not do so. The Conservatives have nominated the Provisional President of the republic, Adolfo Diaz, for President, and Fernando Solorzando, for Vice President.
    There appears to be no likelihood of trouble over the election of a President, and the State Department hears that a large element of the liberal Party would support Diaz as the most patriotic way out of the difficulties that beset the country.
    Rear Admiral W. H. H. Southerland has sent the cruiser Cleveland from Corinto to resume her cruise along the west coast of Mexico, and she will make her first stop at Salina Cruz. The original purpose of this cruise was to promote friendly feeling with the people of the west coast, and to afford whatever assistance citizens of the United States might need. The Cleveland's crew participated in all the Nicaraguan campaign. The Denver sailed to-day from Corinto for Manzanillo and other points on the west coast of Mexico, with a mission similar to that of the Cleveland. The transport Buffalo will go to Corinto on Nov. 10 to take the Marine Corps regiments now in Nicaragua to Panama, where they were stationed. The retention of the marines until after the elections, for the protection of the railway and steamship lines and other American property in Nicaragua, is believed here to be the safer course.
    The sentiment in Nicaragua is now stronger than ever for the proposed loan by the American syndicate and the taking over of the Custom Houses of the country by American officials. An appeal will be made to the United States Senate to ratify the pending treaty. President Taft will urge in his forthcoming message that action on it be taken early this Winter.
