Mr. Ryan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Mexico, July 29, 1890. (Received July 30.)

Mr. Ryan reports that communication by the wire of the Mexican Federal Telegraph Company is possible between Guatemala and Mexico but not by cable, the company’s wires being broken. However, it is possible to send from Washington via Libertad, and then to Acajutla by an overland line; thence to San José by steamer, as a United States war vessel is stationed there, where it may be forwarded to Guatemala by an overland line.
