Mr. Gresham to Dr. Guzman.
Washington, December 31, 1894.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 28th instant, communicating to me a copy of an instrument by which the native Mosquito Indians have become incorporated into the Republic of Nicaragua and subject to its general laws.
Having already, upon information received from the United States minister at Managua and our naval commander at Bluefields, as well as from yourself, orally expressed my satisfaction at this outcome of a situation which for nearly a year has demanded careful consideration, I take this opportunity to state the gratification it affords this Government to see the voluntary and orderly accomplishment of this important step by the native Mosquito Indians themselves.
Accept, etc.,
