During the past year several of
our southern sister republics cele-
brated the anniversary of their in
dependence. In honor of these |
events special embassies were sent |
from this country to Argentine, |
Chile and Mexico, where the gra-
cious reception and splendid hospi-
tality extended them manifested the
cordial relations and friendship ex-
listing between those countries and
the United States, relations which |
am happy to believe have never be-
fore been upon so high plane and
so solid basis as at present.
The congressional commission APP
tpointed under a concurrent resolu-
ton to attend the festivities cele-
brating the centennial anniversary
of Mexican independence, together
with special ambassador, were re-
ceived with their highest honors
and with the greatest cordially,
and returned with the report of the
bounteous hospitality and warm re-
ception of President Diaz and the
Mexican people, which left no doubt
of the desire of the Immediately
neighboring republic to continue the
INIT 70
lations which / feel sure the two
governments will ever cherish.
During the past year the repub-
lie of Nicaragua has been the scene
of internecine struggle. General Ze-
laya, for seventeen years the abso-
lutte ruler Of Nicaragua, was all
through his career the disturber of
Central America and opposed every
plan for the promotion of peace and
friendly relations between the five
republics. The president then re-
views the rebellion and 1.-THE un-
