Department of State,
Washington, September 27, 1888.

No. 624.]

Sir: I have received your No. 857, of the 4th instant, relative to the complaint of the Champerico and Northern Transportation Company, against Guatemala.

I gladly commend your diligence in repeatedly pressing the case upon the attention of that Government in the hope of reaching a satisfactory settlement, but I must express the Department’s regret at the reported delays and evasions which characterize the Guatemalan Government’s treatment of the complaint.

I am, sir, etc.,

T. F. Bayard.
