312.1722 Sandino/28: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Mexico ( Morrow )29
360. Your 236, May 4, 10 a.m. When this Government is informed of the date on which Sandino will leave Nicaraguan territory and of the route which he will follow to the port where he embarks, or to the place where he crosses the frontier, it will give instructions to the forces in Nicaragua to avoid any interference with Sandino’s departure. Conditions in northern Nicaragua, however, are such that no definite assurances can be given and no responsibility for Sandino’s safety can be assumed.
The Mexican Ambassador informs the Department that it is now contemplated that Sandino should be brought directly to Chiapas by boat without passing through Honduras, and that he would be taken from Chiapas via Vera Cruz to Mérida.
