Three prominent Costa Rican citizens have asked that an inquiry be directed to our Department of State as to whether our Government [Page 836] would consider favorably a request for intervention if presented through me by some of the representative Costa Rican citizens. Owing to great risk of losing their lives it will not be presented unless sure of favorable consideration. They request a reply by cable.
