Hall to George N. Leavitt, January 28, 1885

[Inclosure 1 in No. 316.—Cablegram.]

Mr. Hall to Mr. Leavitt.

Reported here arrest of a transit passenger bound to Panama, on board steamer Honduras, at San Juan del Sur. Say respectfully to Nicaraguan minister foreign affairs that our Government never has consented and never will consent to the arrest and removal from an American vessel in a foreign port of any passenger in transit, much less if offense is political.

HALL.
