Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, For the Year 1887, Transmitted to Congress, With a Message of the President, June 26, 1888

No. 510.
Mr. Bayard to Mr. Romero.

Department of State,
Washington, July 18, 1887.

My Dear Mr. Romero: I am much obliged to you for conveying to me Mr. Mariscal’s prompt response to your telegram.

I felt it to be my duty to inform your Government of the rumored apprehensions of Guatemala, and I learn with satisfaction that Mexico contemplates noninterference with the domestic affairs of Guatemala within the line of her own natural self-defense.

I trust that a settled government of law may prevail in Guatemala and am very truly yours,

T. F. Bayard.
