President Roosevelt to the President of Salvador.

[Telegram.]

I have received with much gratification Your Excellency’s telegram of the 8th informing me of the happy outcome of the conference held by you with the Presidents of Honduras and Nicaragua, in adjusting all pending questions between your respective countries in a frank and friendly way. I trust this fortunate accord may be the prelude [Page 659] to a cordial agreement between the five Central American Republics in the conference about to be held in Washington, by which future misunderstandings may be averted and the welfare and peace of the several republics be permanently assured.

Theodore Roosevelt.
