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

37. Your telegram July 19, 7 p.m. I have been informed by Legation at Tegucigalpa that Honduranean Government forces had recaptured El Paraiso and were in full control of the situation.

I have taken up this matter of border trouble with the President as instructed by the Department. He informed me that he was very anxious to terminate it and regretted that lack of funds prevented his sending sufficient force to completely patrol border. He informed me that he has submitted instructions to the leader of the few troops there to make every effort to capture Honduranean revolutionists coming into Nicaragua and especially Martinez Funes.
