The Minister in Guatemala (Geissler) to the Secretary of State

No. 2428

Sir: I have the honor to report that President Lézaro Chacón today mentioned to me the incident of the anti-Guatemala demonstration which occurred at Tegucigalpa, on May 27. See the cablegram of the Legation in Honduras of May 28, 3 p.m. General Chacon deplored the incident. He said that there was no occasion for it and that he hopes that Honduras will not commit any act of aggression. He also stated, that he has instructed Minister Adrián Recinos, to urge upon the Secretary of State the hope that, in the interest of concord between Guatemala and Honduras, it may be possible to [Page 949] bring about at an early date the arbitration suggested by the Department of State in June 1928.

I have [etc.]

Arthur H. Geissler
