40. Referring to the Legation’s telegram of April 3d number 39 [38]¹¹ the revolutionists under command of General [Gregorio] Ferrara with 300 men were engaged in battle with the Honduranean forces at Esperanza on April 5th from 4 a.m. until 2 p.m. resulting in a victory for the Government forces the revolutionists losing 50 killed and 35 wounded. Two other engagements between the Government forces and the revolutionists at Ocotepeque yesterday resulted victoriously for the Government forces.

I suggest that representations be made to the Salvadorean Government to take steps for the capture and reconcentration of the revolutionists.

The President informs me that the Salvadorean Government is aiding the revolutionists in every way.

Morales
