The Secretary of State to Chargé Bailey.

Department of State,
Washington, February 1, 1907.

Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch No. A–4, of the 9th ultimo, confirming your telegram of the 7th ultimo on the subject of the attitude of Nicaragua to the treaty signed on the Marblehead and to the recent treaty of peace signed at San Jose.

In reply I have to say that in frequent conversations with the several Central American ministers at this capital, the department is endeavoring to elucidate the facts of the present difference and open the way to a better understanding, in the interest of the good will which we impartially desire shall prevail among them.

I am,

E. Root.
