Mr. Mizner to Mr. Blaine.
Guatemala, October 18, 1890. (Received November 7.)
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 186 of the 29th of last month on the subject of your lost telegram of the 20th of July instructing me “to demand the instant release of the Colima and cargo,” and to report that, as you say it was sent via Galveston, I have written to the operator at La Libertad for information on the subject. Much will depend upon his answer. I have also made inquiry of the operator mentioned in my No. 187. I will, by the next mail, communicate with the Provisional Government of Salvador on the subject of Consul Myers being refused a pass to leave the country and will promptly report all results.
I am, etc.,
