Legation of the United States,
Mexico, July 24, 1890. (Received July 25.)

Mr. Ryan reports that he is authorized, in confidence and unofficially, by Mr. Azpiroz to state that Mexico will preserve a rigid neutrality with regard to the war now pending between Salvador and Guatemala, even though other States of Central America should involve themselves. However, she will use her friendly offices to establish peace on the basis of territorial integrity and the independence of the nations involved in the war.
