Mr. Mizner to Mr. Blaine.
Guatemala, August 27, 1890. (City of Mexico, August 28, 1890.)
Mr. Ryan repeats a telegram from Mr. Mizner which acknowledges receipt of Department’s telegram to him of the 27th instant; states that he visited Acajutla, Salvador, with three members of the diplomatic corps on Monday, and there met General Ezeta and several hundred leading Salvadorians; that the bases of peace were explained, and, after being slightly modified, were accepted and signed by the Provisional President of Salvador; and that, upon his (Mr. Mizner’s) return to Guatemala City on the afternoon of the 27th, they were accepted and signed late at night by Guatemala also. He adds that both parties have received official notice to withdraw their armies within 48 hours and to reduce them to a peace footing within 8 days, and concludes that peace in Central America is thus established, except as to possible outbreaks of an internal character.
