Maurice Duke to Remsen Whitehouse, April 14, 1885

Mr. Duke to Mr. Whitehouse.

I inform you that, according to a telegram from President Zaldivar, peace has been arranged between this Republic and that of Guatemala, conceding a full amnesty to all persons who took part in the revolution promoted by the decree of General Barrios concerning the Central American Union. Representatives of the five Republics will unite, shortly at Acajutla to fix the basis of the final settlement of the difficulties pending, and until this takes place, the treaty of friendship which existed before the war between Salvador and Guatemala remains in force.
