The Consul at San José (Chase) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received June 15, 11.35 a.m.]
Confirming my telegram in English. City filled with revolutionists. Tinoco soldiers and police shooting indiscriminately with killed and wounded. Uprisings reported in many towns. American life and property and all persons in jeopardy. Chief newspaper office burnt to-day. Majority of the American citizens adopted strong resolutions this morning condemning attack on Consulate and assault on Consul yesterday morning by Tinoco adherents and requesting immediate protection. Indications are that attack on Consulate was premeditated. Assaults on women and children have been disgraceful. Full details by mail.
