The Minister in Panama ( South ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:18 p.m.]
46. Department’s telegram No. 17 dated February 6, 3 p.m. Just received note from Foreign Minister which states that Panama is only willing to enter into direct negotiations with Costa Rica to put into effect the solution which he proposed in his note dated January 29 (my despatch No. 628 dated February 2).
If a settlement of the question of indemnity fails through direct negotiations, Panama will only agree to submit this question to the International Court. Repeated to the American Legation in Costa Rica.32
