The Consul in Charge of the Legation in Honduras (Lawton) to the Secretary of State

40. Honduranean Government requests me to inform the Department of State that from all the information which has been received from the Minister of Honduras in Salvador there is every evidence that the Salvadorean Government is preparing to invade Honduranean territory possibly under the pretext of Honduras having assisted Araujo in his revolutionary movement, which is untrue. … I recommend the Department’s immediate action and attention.
