Mr. Hunter to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Legation of the United States,
Guatemala, July 21, 1899.

(Mr. Hunter reports, in connection with his telegram of the 6th instant, the receipt of the promised copy of the proceedings in the trial of the sentinel who killed Mr. Pears, and that the Government of Honduras persists in its denial of responsibility for Pears’s death and its refusal to demand for indemnity.

He asks if correspondence in relation to the matter shall be transmitted and Department’s instructions awaited.)
