Mr. Ryan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Mexico, August 22, 1890. (Received August 25.)

Mr. Ryan reports to Mr. Blaine that the special agent of the Government of Ezeta, Mr. Pou, informs him that Ezeta rejects the conditions of peace proposed by Mr. Mizner, as they require his resignation in favor of Dr. Ayala, whom he considers a traitor to his country. Ezeta would consent to any proposition of peace that would bring about a fair election by the people of Salvador, but will not agree to any dictation from Guatemala regarding the construction of a Salvadorian Government.
