The Secretary of State to the President of the Central American Court of Justice.

[Telegram.]

Being advised that the Central American court of justice, acting in the spirit of the high purpose for which it was instituted, has, by unanimous resolution, made to Dr. Madriz and Gen. Estrada identic representations urging armistice and direct agreement with the friendly mediation of the court, even before receiving the text thereof I hasten to congratulate the honorable judges upon this high-minded idea, which I hope may contribute to the establishment in Nicaragua of those conditions of good government, progress, and prosperity which the United States, like the Republics of Central America, so greatly desires to see.

P. C. Knox.
