[Received April 23—7:06 a.m.]
9. My 7, April 19, 4 p.m. The agreement signed by the Council of Ministers and quoted textually in my cable under reference was today signed also by the four leaders of the revolution including General Ferrera after conference with the American Minister and myself.
I shall proceed tomorrow morning with the delegates, the Council of Ministers direct to Amapala. The delegates of the revolution will proceed at the same time. It is my hope that the initial conference specified in the first article of the now official information [sic] the leaders of both factions will take place on the U.S.S. Milwaukee in the morning of April 23rd.
The Council of Miniaters has named as its delegate Dr. Francisco Bueso, Minister of Gobernacion, and General Roque Lopez, Minister of War; the chiefs of the revolution have named as their delegates Dr. Salvador Aguirre and Dr. Francisco Lopez Padilla.
In view of the agreement reached, I beg to request that all the Central American Governments be invited to send delegates with the utmost expedition to attend the conference specified in the third article of the agreement referred to in order that they may participate in this joint mediation which it is hoped will bring about the definite and formal solution of the problems presented by the state of anarchy now existing in this Republic.
The American Minister will receive instructions from [the Department for me?] in Tegucigalpa where I shall be able to communicate with him with facility by radio. Repeated to all missions in Central America.
