File No. 817.812/122.

Minister Jefferson to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

American Legation,
Managua, March 18, 1915.

Presidential party and myself left Tuesday on United States ship Chattanooga on trip of inspection of Fonseca Bay and returned to Managua today. Trip a very instructive one and President Díaz expressed himself as being unusually pleased with the opportunity of visiting this much-discussed region and with the courtesy and hospitality of Captain Senn. Nicaraguan people in general seem to be deeply interested in the trip and greeted cordially on the way. I shall report in detail by mail.

Jefferson.
