I am informed Bordas’ mission results in peaceable understanding with Arias which means that constitutional convention will proceed to enact your reforms including new election law. Governmental program includes an election of president to succeed Bordas on June 30th, the real date when the Caceres term ended, instead of April 13th. I understand this is constitutional and not inconsistent with congressional decree which pronounced choice of Bordas. President returns early this week when I can give Department details of situation. Believe revolution again averted.
