Department of State,
Washington, November 7, 1893.

Minister Baker reports that American steamer Costa Rica, on which he was a passenger, was fired upon at Amapala after clearance because the captain refused, on demand, to give up Bonilla, a Honduran, also a passenger. By direction of the President Mr. Young will protest against this wanton and illegal act.

Gresham.
