Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to inform your excellency that on the 6th instant there was held at the port of Amapala a meeting of the most excellent Presidents Zelaya, Figueroa, and Dávila, of Nicaragua, [Page 661] Salvador, and Honduras, respectively, for the purpose of effecting a full settlement of the difficulties pending between Nicaragua and Salvador, which might, if still existing, hinder in some way the success of the conference that will be held in this city under the generous auspices of your excellency’s Government, in accordance with the proposals and invitations of the most excellency Presidents Roosevelt and Diaz, and with the protocol of September 17 last, signed by the Central American plenipotentiaries.
I further have the honor to confirm the intelligence, already made public, of the signing at that meeting of an agreement in which the above-named Presidents Zelaya, Figueroa, and Dávila have come to a perfect understanding, and express provisions are made for the adjustment of all differences between the countries governed by them and the calling of a Central American Congress, following the Washington conference, if so agreed to through the adhesion of Guatemala and Costa Rica to the above-mentioned agreement in so far as it relates to the said call.
Confident that your excellency will find that the purposes of my Government and of the Government of Salvador and Honduras, which, by establishing perfect harmony among them, will more effectively facilitate the labors of our Peace Conference, are worthy of praise, I have pleasure, etc.,
