The Honduran Minister for Foreign Affairs (Davila) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:45 p.m.]
The Government of Honduras is highly thankful for the efficacious good offices of the American Government and Your Excellency in particular connection with the settlement of the boundary dispute [Page 727] pending between Honduras and Guatemala. My Government has already appointed for its part Messrs. Augusto C. Coello, under secretary of Foreign Relations, Silverio Lainez, Minister of Honduras to Guatemala, and Engineer Don Medardo Zuniga to be members of the commission that is to try to fix a provisional line so as to prevent further incidents while progress is made toward a final settlement of the question, the potent mediation of the American Government always being counted on to bring it about. My Government also waits for the appointment of the representative of Your Excellency’s Government as offered for the better success of the transaction. The Government’s intention is that the commission shall agree upon a provisional line and if unable to agree, that the line shall be indicated by the representative or representatives of the mediator government while negotiations for the final settlement proceed immediately.
I renew [etc.]
