Rica has been advised by his Government that the
two companies of troops sent "A short time ago 10
Port Lmon, near the Ncaraguan border, on ac-
count Of the assembling Of large bodies OF Nicar-
aguan troops on the border. had been Withdrawn
The Minister accepts this showing that there is
no further likelihood OF clash between the Nica'-
ag1ian and Costa Rican troops. The report that
trouble had been caused by the action OF the Costa
Ricans in refusing to allow Nicaraguan troops TO
cross Costa Rican territory or TO move along me
san Juan River Is attributed by Senor Calvo to the
fact that General Torres, the Nicaraguan COM
mander probably without the usual Govern

force enters the territory Of foreign Government
The Minister feels satisfied that the small border
disturba nces will not cause rupture between the
two Governments.
