File No. 814.51/210.

The Secretary of State to the American Minister.

[Telegram—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, January 14, 1913.

The refusal of the British Government referred to in your telegram of January 12 is regarded as tentative. Since a copy of the agreement is at the disposal of the British Foreign Office a favorable reply is hoped for. The Department considers the sending of a special Guatemalan agent to London not to be of any advantage.
