File No. 715.1715/54

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

[Telegram]

Your August 21, 11 p.m. The President accepts gladly the offer of the Department and will order the withdrawal of all troops to Danli as soon as it is learned that Nicaragua has acted likewise. There are no police in Las Trojas at any time except occasional patrols consisting of an inspector and five soldiers sent in pursuit of criminals; these go for a specific purpose and leave when it has [they have?] been captured or the pursuit proved fruitless. Should I insist that [no?] patrols go there under this agreement? A copy of this sent to Nicaragua.
