The Minister in Honduras ( Summerlin ) to the Secretary of State

28. My telegram No. 27, February 13, 2 p.m. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has informed me that he has received a telegram dated yesterday from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala stating that orders have been given to release the commander of Chachahualia and to return the arms taken over at that place and adding “that the Government of Guatemala is disposed to order the evacuation of Chachahualia provided the Government of Honduras will reciprocate by agreeing not to reoccupy it and to respect the status quo in all the disputed zone until some amicable agreement as to what is the boundary line between the two countries shall have been reached.”

I understand that the proposal regarding the non-reoccupation of Chachahualia is not acceptable to Honduras.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs has furnished me with a copy of a telegram which he said has been forwarded to you directly.89 Repeated to Guatemala.

Summerlin
