(c) The Nicaraguan Government will concede a further period of
two years for them to legalize their rights to the property
acquired in conformity with the Regulations in force before
1894 in the Reserve. The Government will make no charge to the
said inhabitants either for the lands or the measurement
thereof, or for the grant of title-deeds. For this purpose the
title-deeds in the possession of the said Indians and Creoles
before 1894 will be renewed in conformity with the laws, and,
in cases where no such title-deeds exist, the Government will
give to each family, at their place of residence, eight
manzanas of land, if the members of the family do not exceed
four in number, and two manzanas for each person if the family
exceeds that number.
(d) Public pasture lands will be reserved for the use of the
inhabitants in the neighbourhood of each Indian village.
(e) In the event of any Mosquito Indians or Creoles proving
that the lands which they held in conformity with the
Regulations in force before 1894 have been claimed by and
allotted to other persons, the Government will indemnify them
by the grant of suitable public lands of approximate value as
near as possible to their present residences.
Article IV.
The ex-Chief of the Mosquito Indians, Robert Henry Clarence,
will be permitted by the Nicaraguan Government to reside in
the Republic of Nicaragua and to enjoy full protection so long
as he does not transgress the laws, and provided his acts do
not tend to incite the Indians against Nicaragua.
Article V.
The Mosquito Indians, and other inhabitants of the former
Reserve, will enjoy the same rights as are secured by the laws
of Nicaragua to other Nicaraguan citizens.
CENTRAL AMERICA: A. D. 1906. Honduras, Guatemala, and Salvador:
War, ended by mediation of the United States and Mexico.
Neither the Convention of Peace and Compulsory Arbitration
signed at Corinto in 1902 by the presidents of all five of the
Central American republics, nor the peace agreement between
four of them two years later, sufficed to prevent an outbreak
of war in 1906 which involved the three states of Honduras,
Guatemala, and Salvador. President Roosevelt, in his annual
Message to Congress that year, referred to the war as having
arisen from "trouble which had existed for some time"; but
does not indicate the nature of the "trouble"; nor is any
light thrown on it in a long diplomatic correspondence between
the parties to it and the governments of the United States and
Mexico, which appears in the American report of Foreign
Relations for 1906. Probably nobody outside of the
belligerents ever learned definitely why they felt called upon
to fight, or what they had to settle when peace was made.
