Foreign Relations of the United States, 1894, Nicaragua (Mosquito Territory)

No. 95.
Mr. Gresham to Mr. Baker.

Department of State,
Washington, August 21, 1894.

Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch of the 24th ultimo, concerning the recent disturbances in the Mosquito Reservation.

In view of the important and serious statements in your dispatch, I at once made it the basis of a note to Dr. Guzman. I now inclose a copy of the correspondence for the information and files of your legation, including the reply of Dr. Guzman, who believes that there must have been some misunderstanding as to the remarks of Senor Mayorga Rivas, to which you refer as objectionable, and which do not at any rate interpret the sentiment of the Nicaraguan Government toward American residents in the reservation.

I am, etc.,

W. Q. Gresham.
