The Secretary of State to the American Minister to Guatemala.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, January 11, 1912—12 noon.

When you have received the telegram of January 10, 2 p.m., from the American Minister to Salvador, you will immediately take up this matter with the President of Guatemala, vigorously impressing upon him the absolute necessity of putting a stop to this hostile movement against Salvador, in utter disregard of the Washington conventions.
