8734. For the attention of the President:
The Chilean Ambassador called at the Department today and stated that the Chilean Minister to Costa Rica was called by President [Page 838] Tinoco, who stated to him that he was disposed to leave the presidency under the following conditions: First, that the American Consul should be put in jail. Second, that we should withdraw the American naval vessel now at Port Limon. Third, that the congress, upon the resignation of the President, should name as provisional president Don Mariano B. Quiros, a former member of the Cabinet of President Gonzalez, and who is acceptable to the people of Costa Rica. Fourth, that the United States Government should recognize this provisional government. The President proposes to leave the country accompanied by Joaquin Tinoco, who will possibly be named Costa Rican Minister to the Argentine or Brazil.
