Letter

Mariano Castro Zaldivar to Hall, March 16, 1885

[Inclosure 3 in No. 325.—Translation.]

President Zaldivar to Mr. Hall.

Minister Hall: The steamer Granada has on board a boat, five sailors, and hostile elements for disembarkation at Amapala. The captain allows that he agreed to change his regular route on this account for $1,000, which Minister Delfirio Sanchez offered him. I beg you to give orders that he transship them and their boat and elements, in order that they return to San José de Guatemala, thus avoiding that this act of hostility be committed against this Government, without detriment to the protest which this Government will make.

Yours, &c.,

R. ZALDIVAR.
