Legation of the United States in Guatemala and Honduras.
Guatemala, September 17, 1891. (Received September 19.)

Mr. Pacheco states that under the law of Salvador a vessel leaving port without clearance papers is subject to confiscation; that the Salvadorian minister for foreign affairs had been asked by telegraph how long the City of Panama can be detained under the contract, but no answer has been received; and that this may be due to the continual interruption of the wires.
