The President of Honduras to President Roosevelt.

[Telegram—Translation.]

I have the honor to advise you that I have taken possession of the office of provisional president of this country with the support of the great majority of the citizens. The programme of government shall be one of peace and guaranties for persons and interests, both national and foreign. For this I rely, together with the people of Honduras, on the good will that you and the President of Mexico have evinced for the restoration of tranquility in Central America, for which I am sincerely thankful.

Miguel R. Davila.
