Sir: I beg to transmit for your consideration a
copy and translation of the reply of the minister of foreign relations
of Nicaragua to my protest of December 15, against the collection of a
forced war loan from Mrs. Jacoby, an American citizen, a copy of which
was sent in my dispatch No. 178, of December 22.
Awaiting your instructions on the subject,
I beg to remain, etc.,

Mr. Madriz to
Mr. Baker.
Ministry of Foreign Relations,
Republic of Nicaragua,
Managua, December 26, 1893.
Mr. Minister: I have taken the necessary
information in regard to the claim of Mrs. Josefa Mayorga, widow of
Jacoby, and it results therefrom that the local junta of Granada,
charged with the repartition of the loan decreed lately, assigned to
her the quota considered in proportion to the properties of the said
lady, because she is a native and a resident of Nicaragua and has
not lost her character of daughter of the country by any methods
recognized by our laws.
I have the honor to answer thus your excellency’s communication of
the 15th of this month, and expressions of high esteem and respect I
subscribe myself, etc.,
