Sir: The Government of Guatemala received last evening a telegram dated the 11th instant from their minister in Mexico, stating that Mexican troops have been ordered to the frontier of the two countries. The telegram was confirmed later by the Mexican minister here in a personal note to the minister for foreign affairs. I deemed it my duty to give you the information by telegraph, and accordingly I sent you today a telegram to that effect.

I have, etc.,

Henry C. Hall.
