The Consul in Charge of the Legation in Honduras ( Lawton ) to the Secretary of State

Department’s [December 29, 5 p.m.] The Foreign Minister denies categorically that any troops have been sent to Nicaraguan frontier except that a detachment of about one hundred are near Fonseca Bay on the alert for rumored revolutionary expedition of Honduraneans from Nicaragua. If any Honduranean troops have been or are in Nicaraguan territory he hopes they will be apprehended as they are undoubtedly imposters. I reported to Legation of the United States at Managua the rumors of political movements of Honduraneans in Nicaragua.
