THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE ALLIED ARMY OF
CENTRAL AMERICA TO CAPT DAVIS.
To the Comvandr Of the United States COrsee s. Mdrya
There exists various circumstances that portend the
speedy arrival Of certain flibusers IN steamer which
Is coming TO the port Of San JUAN to disembark there
and unite with those commanded by William Walker,
who is now reduced to the City Of Rivas perssting
in his criminal and rash design TO conquer this coun
try, rather TO commit all kinds OF crimes against
the property and rights OF its inhabitants. Ih,s an
nouncement does not appear improbable, considering
the notorety of the repeated act OF sending and intro
ducing from California new 6llibusters by means OF
the steamers of the Transit Line OF this lsthmus.
Under such circumstances | cannot but persuade
myself that the presence in the Bay OF San Juan of
the United States naval force, under command OF
Capt. Davs is favorable TO the course which the Cen
trial American States sustain, founded on principles of
civilization and universal Justice, from which, 1t is
not to be doubted you will fit to take the neces-
say steps TO prevent the ingess OF the Adventures
who seek to disembark and augment the force OF the
faction, who, contrary to all reason and right, have
already caufed immense and unheard of evils TO Mica
ragua Such course on the part of Capt. Davis will
be in accordance with the principles of the Govern
ment he represents, because the steps taken by the
nlusirous Cabinet at Washington TO prevent the de-
parture from the ports Of that Republic of forces and
supplies clsndestinely prepared for Mr.. Walker, un-
der the appearance OF passengers, and with articles
Of commerce for the Isthmus of Nicaragua, proves
the respect which 1t entertains for the nvOabe prn-
ciples OF International right acting in accordance
with the loyal and haimon Gus relations OF friendship
that exist between il and the Governments of Central
American kepubhce, ana agree also with the expnct
acknowledgements recently made to the Provisional
Government, at present exercised in Nicaragua by
Don Patricio Rivas, against whose authority the
armed faction led by Walker were Immediately to
operate
If the landing Of the fllibusters takes place at the
port Of San Juan while the United States naval force
il thereto the commander of which have the honor
~ address mysefthe act cannot but rebound to the
discredit of the good name Of the Government OF a
great nation whose navy is called upon by institution
to sustain its sound policy against piratica incursons,
which have for their object fire and pillage and the
usurpston Of all the rights Of free people. For this
reason have the greatest confidence that the sense OF
honor and right which characterizes Mr. Davis will
not permit the landing Of the flibusters to which
refer TO take place.
Furthermore, ii is proper to observe that even the
preteXt under which these men come, pretending, az
on other occasions to be only passengers, is done
away with now, as the Government of Costa Rica, n
view Of the scandalous and prejudical abuse which
was made of the transit have declared the port of San
Juan del Sur block aded and ordered the transit to be
closed, which arrangements have been approved by
Nicaragua, as you will by the Balctm Ofcial OF
that Republic, No. 264, which incose, and which is
anew and powerful incentive TO induce you TO put q
stop to said transit.
avail myself Of this opportunity 10 offer myself to
you with the regard and consideration Of respects
