File No. 715.1715/39

The Chargé in Honduras ( Curtis ) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

Supplementing my July 24, 1 p.m.1 Both the Honduran Government and the Nicaraguan Government profess anxiety to sign an arbitration treaty, but both appear to desire especially to place the onus of failure on the other. The Nicaraguan Legation has received instructions to cease discussing the boundary question after the 31st instant and it is most important that the Government of the United States assume a firm attitude toward both Governments.
