§ 31. Captain PETER MACDONALDasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he can make any statement as to what action was taken by British marines in connection with the recent rising in Salvador; and what is the present position in that country?
§ Sir J. SIMONA party of marines from H.M.C.S. "Skeena" was landed on the British railway pier at Acajutla on the 24th of January, but, in view of the improvement in the general and local situation, their services were not required, and they were re-embarked. Recent reports from His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at San Salvador show that the rising, which was of an unusually serious nature and might have entailed grave consequences, has been effectually subdued by the Government of Salvador, who remain in effective control of the country.
