File No. 3691/70.

The President of Nicaragua to President Roosevelt.

[Telegram.—Translation.]

Managua, February 16, 1907.

Being informed of your second cablegram offering your valuable aid to bring about a practical solution of the Nicaragua-Honduras conflict in conformity with the view that reparation for offenses should be exacted, I thank you for this proof of friendship, and I pray that Honduras may not show reluctance to the philanthropic offices of Your Excellency, for I fear that the continuances of the forces face to face may precipitate a rupture.

I reiterate to you my high consideration.

J. S. Zelaya.
