Honduran President Manuel Bonilla updates President Roosevelt on the status of a tribunal to examine the incident between Honduras and Nicaragua. The tribunal had to disband because of the actions of the Nicaraguan government. Although Honduras wishes for peace, they are having to prepare to defend themselves against Nicaraguan aggression. Bonilla thanks Roosevelt for his offer to arrange for an arbitrator, and suggests that either the government of El Salvador or Costa Rica could serve in this capacity.
