Mr. Mizner to Mr. Blaine.
Guatemala, July 22, 1890. (Received July 26.)
Mr. Mizner reports the great apprehension and danger existing in the city of Guatemala, the rumored defeat of the Guatemalan army and of the nonarrival of any answer to his communications for two weeks. He adds that Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica—Honduras consenting by telegraph—have signed a treaty securing constitutional government in Salvador, and that they request the good offices and moral support of the United States. He asks that instructions be sent him by way of El Paso, Tex., and suggests the necessity for a United States naval vessel in Central American waters.
