No. 222.
Mr. Perez to Mr. Bayard.
Washington, D. C., October 3, 1887. (Received October 6.)
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I am in receipt of an official telegram, dated the 1st instant, wherein it is stated that notwithstanding the sanction given by the Government of Costa Rica, the President, the House of Representatives, and an assembly of notable citizens of Nicaragua convoked to that effect, the treaty of Managua of the 26th of July last for the final adjustment of the question pending between the two Republics has been rejected by the Senate of Nicaragua. In consequence thereof the controversy remains as heretofore, and the treaty of Guatemala which submitted it to the Government of the United States continues in force.
I avail myself, etc.,
