nitizens that American nronertv forcihlv taIen ana
held by Costa Rca would he demanded and that thu
Interruption of the Transit Route which belonged in
that category would no longer be permitted Il was
also believed that Euronean Interference IN Central
American affairs vvnpld be tolarate1 M mona I1on,

conceived plan of securing the Transit Route to
Northern capitalists through the agency of yrssarri
the pretended representative OF Nicaragua. and thus
defeating any plan for establishing slavery in con.
junction with American institutions 10 Central Amer
