Although it was a victory filibuster, the fourth battle of Rivas was the last major battle of the campaign , since May 1, 1857 Walker surrendered to the American captain Charles Davis, whose ship Saint Mary's was anchored in San Juan del Sur . General Mora accepted the capitulation, and Walker left the Central American territory with all the honors of war
