Legation of Honduras in Guatemala,
Guatemala, March 15, 1899.
Sir: The President of Honduras addressed me
yesterday a telegram which says:
Palacio de
Tegucigalpa, March 14, 1899.
Mr. Angel Ugarte,
Guatemala:
According to your telegram of yesterday, I understand that
the chargé d’affaires of the United States thinks that with
the disposition taken by the American Government, and by the
President of that Republic, we need not fear any menace of
the filibusters, and recommending you to let him know
anything that we may know, that he may proceed accordingly,
I beg you to express to that high functionary our
gratefulness for the interest he has taken in favor of the
peace of Honduras.
Yours, very truly,
F. Sierra.
Fulfilling the pleasing trust conferred to me, to make you know our
grateful sentiments, I have the honor, etc.,
[Inclosure 2.]
