Nicaraguan Armistice

Upon the U. S. cruiser Rochester, anchored off the east coast of Nicaragua, Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer received last week representatives of the unrecognized de facto government of Nicaragua and the militant leader of Nicaragua's revolutionaries, General Jose Maria Moncada. President Chamorro of Nicaragua conveyed through his representatives the terms of an armistice which he was willing to conclude with the embattled revolutionaries (TIME, May 17 et seq.). General Moncada accepted the terms of armistice with slight modifications. Loomed a peace conference under U. S. auspices, at which Usurper Chamorro, and the "revolutionaries" (really "counter revolutionaries") may compose their differences.
