File No. 715.1715/35

The Minister in Nicaragua ( Jefferson) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

Department’s July 17, 4 p.m. President Chamorro informed me that he has removed all of his revenue guard from the vicinity of Las Trojas and that he has reports from his special agent there that all is very quiet on the border. Also he informed me relations with Honduras have improved and they are endeavoring to arrive at an amicable and final settlement of the question.

In regard to General Rosales, he left here some three weeks ago for Salvador. During his stay in Nicaragua I did not learn of his engaging in revolutionary activities against Honduras. He bought and made small shipments of corn and rice to Salvador.

Jefferson
