Letter
Hall to George D. Bayard, March 9, 1885
[Inclosure 2 in No. 322.—Telegram.]
Mr. Hall to Mr. Bayard.
Legation of the United States in Central America, La Libertad, March 9, 1885.
Mr. Hall telegraphs to the effect that much wanton bloodshed, and perhaps anarchy, will undoubtedly follow the decree of the President of Guatemala in respect to a union of the Central American States and his assumption, without invitation, of the command of their military. His action being taken without either consent or consultation is considered an unwarranted usurpation.
While it is rumored that Honduras adheres to the movement, it will be resisted by Costa Rica, Salvador, and Nicaragua.
