use his good offices in behalf of the Chinese residents in this Republic
when they might be required.

Palace, Guatemala, October 3,
1894.
I have had the pleasure to receive your excellency’s polite note of
the 24th ultimo, informing me that the minister of China at
Washington has requested the U. S. Government to allow its
diplomatic representative in Guatemala to use his good offices in
behalf of Chinese residents here, with which request your
excellency’s Government is disposed to comply, provided that such a
step meets the approval of the Government of Guatemala.
In reply I have the honor to inform your excellency, having been
authorized to do so by the President of the Republic, that my
Government will have no objection to giving its approval in this
case, provided the Chinese Government addresses to it the request to
that end, which seems natural.
I reiterate, etc.,
