The Minister in Nicaragua ( Eberhardt ) to the Secretary of State

67. The following telegram was sent Havana:

For White.73 Your January 28, 7 p.m. At the request of Colombian Minister I called upon the President with him yesterday and repeated what I had already told the President about the Department’s viewing with favor a settlement along the lines which Colombia had proposed. The President said that he would be very glad to have the matter settled in this way and the negotiations can be taken up immediately upon Cuadra Pasos’74 return. He pointed out, however, that it will probably be impossible to conclude a treaty before the end of the present session of Congress which will mean that the matter will go over to the new administration unless a special session should be held.
