kind of star route fraud. To-day the Court

this point is decided against them the next
step in order will be q verdict for the defend

from General Grant, in reply to communi-

this country
LONG BRANCH On. j., July 18th.
My Dear Sir: am just in receipt OF your letter
of yesterday in regard to the arrival of President
Barrios, of Guatemala. had read in the morning
papers of his reception at New Orleans and of his
intention OF proceeding Immediately TO New York
In my judgment, there is not the least ground for
apprehension account of his visit. He will I'M
questonably be received by the President and Sec
rotary of State with great courtesy, ne ought to
be, as the representative OF neighborng republic
but the annexation OF territory will have but few
advocates and the treatment by the press
OF the country Of such men advocated
interference in fJreigu countries shows that any
scheme Of that kiSd would be extremely unpopular.
AS to our Government interfering in the question
OF boundary between Mexico and Guatemala, |
there need not be any anxiety felt by Mexico.
If Mexico and Guatemala should agree between
themselves to refer any question between them to
the United States arbitrator, Portugal and
England did in regard to the conflicting claims to
territory the east coast of Africa Of course
Government would hear the statements OF both
parties and give its judgment iu the matter referred
to; but then don't suppose the United States
would do any more than " use its good offices - to
have the contending parties accept her de-
cision, if either should feel inclined to reject the
decision. | am not, Of course authorized to
say a word for the Administration on this subject
but am certain know the sentiment OF the coun.
| try on the question Of annexation. II the good
offices OF the United States could be used effectively
| to induce the Central American Republics to con.
solidate into one, have no doubt but it would do
so; but the request would have to come from all Of
them. Certainly the United States would not at
tempt to dation at the instance OF the
President of State and in his personal interest.
The most that would likely be done would be ac-
quired through representatives to those coun-
tries to the feeling of the people and officials on
the subject of consolidation. Very truly yours,
L. S. GRANT.
