Le Brun, Angelo Muttine to President Zaldivar, April 7, 1885

[Inclosure 4 in No. 337.—Translation.]

The diplomatic representatives to President Zaldivar.

The diplomatic corps accredited to Central America has had the honor to receive your telegram of the 4th of this month, and observes with regret that your Excellency has not been pleased to accept the friendly proposition to concede an armistice for one month, which, in their opinion, offered an honorable means of terminating the pending difficulties through negotiations for peace. In regard to the terms of the proposed peace, the neutral character of the diplomatic corps prevents them from expressing officially any opinion.

Your obedient servants,

  • HENRY C. HALL,
  • WERNER von BERGEN,
  • MELCHOR ORDOÑEZ,
  • J. P. H. GASTRELL,
  • J. LE BRUN,
  • ANGELO MUTTINE.
