and war, this government has ordered
the Yorktown and some small, r YES
sells to proceed to the south again and
look after American and other national
interests.

no doubt that war will be commenced,
as Minister Merry at San Salvador has
telegraphed that Nicaraguan vessel
has actually landed troops at Acajutla
for general revolutionary purposes

been asked by the State Department
for the facts.
