You will impress upon Estrada Cabrera and upon the leaders of the Unionists the importance of an immediate armistice and a conference in order that the lives of foreigners in Guatemala City may not be further endangered.
You will intimate orally to the Unionists that whatever may be the result of the conference they should proceed in strict accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of Guatemala in order to ensure recognition of any future government which may be formed.
