The Minister in Nicaragua ( Long ) to the Secretary of State

124. I have just received from the Minister for Foreign Affairs a copy of a telegram dated May 12 which he states was received by his office en clair from the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Colombia. A hurried translation of the message reads:

[Here follows message similar to note from the Colombian Chargé, No. 1188, May 13, page 231.]

Minister Arguello had planned to acknowledge the message and say that, Nicaragua being a signatory, she would respect the treaties but he indicated just now that he would delay the reply until he could [Page 234] learn of our attitude so that all replies might be uniform. I will appreciate any information which the Department may desire that I pass on to Arguello.

Long
