Legation of the United States in Central America,
Managua, Nicaragua, August 30, 1887. (Received Sept. 26.)

No. 701.]

Sir: On the 27th instant I received from Mr. Hosmer the following telegram:

I am informed by the German minister that a large body of Mexicans troops has been ordered to the frontier. The legation of Mexico will soon take its departure for Salvador.

In answer to the foregoing I requested Mr. Hosmer, should the report prove to be true, to communicate it to you by cable. From what I have learned since my arrival in Nicaragua, ten days ago, I am satisfied that the information communicated to Mr. Hosmer, as abevo, is well founded.

I am, etc.,

Henry C. Hall.
