The Acting Secretary of State to Ambassador Thompson.

[Telegram.]

The President is much gratified at the successful outcome of the peace negotiations on the Marblehead. He desires you to express to President Diaz his warmest thanks for and his high appreciation of the hearty cooperation of Mexico, and hopes that the more formal treaty which it is proposed to negotiate within the next two months will be the precursor of better understandings and closer friendships between all the nations of Central America.

Bacon.
