The Consul in Chargé of the Legation in Honduras (Lawton) to the Secretary of State
[Received January 10—9:42 p.m.]
5. Confirming information in my cipher telegram January 8th 4 p.m. Several persons have been intercepted on the highways with rifles and ammunition who have confessed the place and details of the rendezvous and the revolutionary plans. Additional activity reported near the Nicaraguan boundary. President Bográn4 asked [Page 855] me this morning to urge the Government of the United States to definitely interrogate the Nicaraguan Government. At the suggestion of Vice Consul Miller and request of the Foreign Minister I urge at least one naval vessel be sent to the north coast to remain there until inauguration of the President or even longer.
- Francisco Bográn, second designate, installed as Provisional President on Oct. 5, 1919.↩
