[Telegram]
Tegucigalpa , May 7, 1917, noon .
[Received 5 p.m.]

In an interview with the President of the Republic, Saturday, I received assurance of Honduran cooperation in every way possible without violation of treaty of Washington which Honduras considers as obligating her to be the last of Central-American states to become belligerent. The President stated that Honduras has not made any alliance and will not unless with the United States.
