Book Description
Excerpt from American Policy in Nicaragua The necessity for putting an end to the constant disorders in Central America and thereby removing the liability of European interference in those republics has been generally recognized, and numerous plans have been proposed to bring about such a happy result. For many years the United States was content with making mere representations to the belligerents or expressing "grave concern" for the safety of its citizens; then naval vessels were sent to the troubled regions to look out for the protection of any Americans or foreigners that might be within reach of their guns, or to protest occasionally against barbarities committed by the combatants, but more often to carry away the vanquished chiefs in order to save them from execution by their victorious enemies. A further step in the interest of peace was taken when the belligerents were invited aboard these vessels to discuss and compose their differences with the friendly counsel of naval and diplomatic officers of the United States; and inasmuch as it was believed to be desirable to have the cooperation of a Latin-American country, Mexico was later invited to participate on such occasions. In these circumstances a conference was held in July, 1906, on board the U. S. S. Marblehead, attended by representatives of the Central American Republics, for the purpose of discussing terms of peace, with the aid of the good offices of American and Mexican diplomatic agents. Among the stipulations of the treaty signed on the Marblehead was one requiring that all future differences should be submitted to the arbitration of the Presidents of the United States and of Mexico. The terms of the treaty were not observed, and the two Presidents were accordingly called upon by Guatemala to arbitrate a controversy between Honduras and Nicaragua, but before they could take action Zelaya, the President of Nicaragua, ousted the Government of Honduras, established a friendly candidate in office, and thus closed the matter for the time being. The first systematic and well-considered effort to seek a remedy for the disorders in Central America was made by President Roosevelt in the Washington peace conventions of 1907, which were negotiated by delegates representing all five Republics, who met under the joint auspices of the United States and Mexico, though neither of the latter Governments was a signatory of the treaties. The most important of the stipulations are those providing for the neutralization of Honduras; for the prevention of the use of the territory of one State to incite or aid insurrection in another; and for the establishment of a Central American court of justice at Cartago, Costa Rica, to settle all controversies.

Book Description
Excerpt from The War in Nicaragua: With a Colored Map of Nicaragua Life of their neighbors, and every one inhales to some extent the vapors and miasms oating in the air he hourly breathes. The task is even more difficult if a man attempts to narrate events in which he has taken part. As the soldier, warmed by the heat of battle, dimly sees through the dust and smoke of a well-fought field, the large movements which decide the issue of the con ict, so he who has mingled in the struggles of parties or the contests of nations, may not be as well fitted as others to speak of facts moulded partially by his own will and hand. But if the memoir writer be fair and discreet, he may contribute materials for future use, and his very errors may instruct after ages. The author of the following narrative does not expect to attain perfect truth in all things he merely asks the reader to give him credit for the desire to state facts ac curately, and to reason justly about the circumstances attending the presence of the Americans in Nicaragua.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Conquest of Nicaragua by the United States: Letter to President Taft You have broken all precedents of history and diplo macy in America. You have broken all sound rules of action in international policy. You have acted with unlimited power and personal discretion, and you are responsible to nobody. You profess to have acted in protection 'of American life and property, the native government having confessed itself incapable of fulfilling this primary function. But to do this you did not by any means need to make yourself a party to the civil war raging in the country, and much less the discharge of the duties of protection of life and property could by any possibility imply the meddling with the infernal hatred of the factions, and the taking upon yourself the direct and barbarous suppression of the revolution. Protect ing American and other foreign interests, you should have kept yourself within the bounds of strict neutrality, using the moral force of your great office to bring about an intelli gent and satisfactory settlement of the civil strife. In placeof this, you have invaded Nicaragua with an American army and you have subdued by brutal force the forces of the revolution and Nicaragua is to-day a subjugated nation. There was imminent danger of the fall of the govern ment into the hands of the 'soldiery of that new Zelaya, General Mena, which would 'have been indeed a great calamity. But the existence of a nominal government entirely controlled by you and absolutely dependent upon you is a calamity and a disgrace not less deplorable. You should have averted both dangers and you could easily have done so if your aim had been noble. But you chose to make impossible the formation of a strong government, because what you wanted was the destruc tion of the sovereignty of Nicaragua. It was sheer lust of land which moved you. I With all your judicial temperament you are evidently a believer in the manifest destiny boundaries of the United States, to wit, on the north by the aurora borealis, on the south by the pro cession of the equinoxes, on the east by the primeral chaos, and on the west the Day of Judgment.
