The Minister in Nicaragua (Ramer) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 11—10:23 a.m.]
14. Your number 13 April 4, 5 p.m.12 Nicaraguan Government denied that Honduras is being invaded by revolutionists from Nicaragua but informed me that recently Honduranean Government forces crossed the border and attacked Honduranean revolutionists in Nicaragua.
The President of Nicaragua demanded of the President of Honduras an explanation of this violation of Nicaraguan territory who replied that he would investigate as such action was contrary to instructions given to leaders of expeditionary forces on the frontier but that his general in charge of that zone, Roman Diaz, had informed him he had an agreement with the Nicaraguan commandant at Ocotal permitting Honduranean Government forces to pursue Honduranean Government [sic] revolutionists into Nicaraguan territory should it become necessary. President of Nicaragua thereupon communicated with said commandant Diego Vargas who yesterday denied having made any such agreement.
From the reports received here by the Government it appears that considerable number of Honduranean Government forces have arrived along the border.
