105. Situation looks very serious as the Army seems to be divided. I believe that bloodshed might be avoided if a warship were sent to San José de Guatemala or to both San José de Guatemala and Puerto Barrios. San José de Guatemala is much nearer the Capital than Puerto Barrios, The situation is most urgent.
