Washington , March 10, 1885.

Mr. Hall is informed that, while the United States Government is prepared to use its influence in averting a conflict and to promote peace, and deems advisable a voluntary combination of interests of the Central American States, no display of force on the part of any one or more States to coerce the others can be countenanced.
