The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Nicaragua (Hanna)
94. Legation’s despatch No. 1025.50 Please say to President Moncada that I have learned with much satisfaction of the statements made by him when receiving the new Honduran Minister with respect to the settlement of the dispute concerning the Honduras-Nicaragua [Page 976] boundary, and that I heartily congratulate him for the stand he has taken in this matter. As boundary disputes are the most likely to cause friction between the Latin American countries this Government has exerted its efforts in the past for their peaceful settlement. Especially since my visit to Nicaragua I am deeply interested in the settlement of Central American boundary disputes and earnestly hope that the pending question between Nicaragua and Honduras may be speedily adjusted by the formal acceptance on the part of Nicaragua of the award of the King of Spain.51
