[Telegram.—Translation.]

I have pleasure in referring to your courteous telegram of this date [21st] and in saying that my Government, consistent with the statement made to Your Excellency in my previous telegram, accepts [Page 650] the invitation to the conference of Central American plenipotentiaries which, on the generous motion of Your Excellency and of the Most Excellent Señor Porfirio Diaz, President of the United Mexican States, will be held at Washington in the first fifteen days of November next. I shall, at the proper time, accredit the delegation of Costa Rica to the said conference. I renew to Your Excellency the assurances of my most distinguished consideration.

Cleto Gonzales Viquez.
