Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 1, 1890

Mr. Blaine to Mr. Mizner.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, July 26, 1890.

Mr. Blaine informs Mr. Mizner that the Department’s instructions to him appear to have been intercepted, urgent protests against the Colima seizure remaining unacknowledged. He adds that this is the seventh telegraphic message sent to the legation at Guatemala City since the 19th instant, and instructs him to demand an immediate investigation and inviolability of his official correspondence; remarking the similarity between the present situation and that of 1885, when Mr. Hall’s telegraphic communications were cut.
