WASHINGTON, April 22.-The relations
between the Government and that of Guate-
mala have become somewhat strained by
reason of the efforts of Secretary Blaine to
obtain justice for j. Il. aollander, an Amer
lean citizen, who, as editor of the Guatemala
Star, has been twice imprisoned and finally
expelled from the country, besides suffering
the confscation of his newspaper property.
Since the expelling of Hollander Secretary
Blaine has been persistent in his efforts to
obtain permission for Hollander to return
to settle up his estate. After repeated re-
fusals on the part of the Barillas Govern
ment Secretary Blaine has at last instructed
Minister Miner to notify the Guatemalan
Government that continuance of its un-
just treatment would imperii the friend
ly relations between Guatemala and the
United States. This means that Guatemala
must adhere to the treaty stipulations of
1915. In case she declines a serious rupture
canuot be averted. There is feeling in
the State Department that Guatemala has
reached her limit in this, and that only en-
ergetie measures will meet the situation,
