HC Deb 04 June 1894 vol 25 c283
COLONEL HOWARD VINCENT (Sheffield, Central)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the war between Honduras and Nicaragua is now over, and the condition of affairs suitable for Her Majesty's Minister in Guatemala to present his credentials to those Republics as well as Costa Rica, and personally to do what he can to further British trade?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir E. GREY,) Northumberland, Berwick

Her Majesty's Minister left Guatemala on the 13th of April for Managua, the Capital of Nicaragua. He will visit the other Central American Republics and present his credentials. He will naturally do what he properly can to further British commercial interests. Hostilities between Honduras and Nicaragua have now ceased.
