Rudolph Forster sends William Loeb a telegram informing him of the armistice for the war in Central America. Manuel Estrada Cabrera, president of Guatemala, wants an armistice, “but at feasible hour mutually agreed upon.” He includes a telegram from Estrada Cabrera to President Roosevelt explaining that President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico set the armistice at 5 a.m., but it was delivered five hours later while Salvadorian forces were attacking.
