The Acting Secretary of State to Minister Merry.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

(Mr. Bacon informs Mr. Merry that the President has received with much gratification his messages from the President and people of Honduras, and that it has been a great pleasure to him to offer his friendly mediation and that keener satisfaction can be felt by no one at the successful outcome of the conference; bringing an honorable and, as he hopes, a lasting peace to the people of Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, in whose welfare he feels the deepest interest.)
