No. 506.]

Sir: I inclose for your information a copy of a dispatch^* from Mr. Thomas B. Connery, chargé d’affaires ad interim at Mexico City, No. 228, of the 26th ultimo, concerning the relations of Mexico and Guatemala.

Reply has been made that Mr. Mariscal’s statement had been read with satisfaction, and that this Government never had the slightest disposition to regard the declarations respecting Mexico’s attitude toward Guatemala in any other than the spirit of perfect frankness and rectitude in which they were proffered.

I am, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
