The President of Gautemala to the President of the United States.

[Telegram.]

The Government and people of Guatemala profoundly deplore the death of the illustrious President McKinley, and cordially and sincerely share the universal mourning of your great Republic with which this country cultivates the closest relations, for which reason Guatemala and its Government grieve and make their own the sorrow which the noble American people suffer.

Manuel Estrada C.
