The Minister in Salvador (Schuyler) to the Secretary of State
[Received February 2—10:35 a.m.]
3. In reply to your telegram January 30, 6 p.m., the President states that he has been and is taking every possible precaution and telegraphing orders to departmental commanders to arrest any persons attempting revolutionary activities against Honduras. It seems a band of 40 men armed with machetes has been observed on the [Page 563] frontier of Gotera and orders have now been given to capture them. The only Honduran leader of importance now in this city will be arrested this afternoon.
Flores is personal representative of Orellana6 not of the President of Salvador and is now in this city (see my confidential despatch 103, January 6th, page 3,7 and my telegram January 11, 9 p.m.8).
