Mexico and Guatemala.

Tho war spirit is gaining ground in
Mexico and the old quarrel between
that country and Guatemala seems
bound to end in bloodshed. The dis
pute dates back to 1923, aud is over the
question OF the location Of tho boundary
line between the two republics.
In 1923, upon the fall Of the Emperor
Yturbide, the Mexican empire dis
solved and each OF the states resumed
ito autonomy. Then arose the boundary
dispute which has eliminated in tho
present varlike situation. Every effort
during the past twenty years to settle
the quarrel through commissioners has
failed, rs did also the attempt to arbi-
trase it through the Offices Of the United
States.
The disputed territory is not large.
but Guatemala has determined to hold
it and Mexico is equally determined to
possess it, The presen. trouble was
preclpitated by the action OF the Gua,e-
malans in entering the land and do
stroying landmarks and property,
which action Mexico resented and has
demanded satisfaction and indemnity
therefor. Guatemala, while pretending
to want peaceable settlement, began
to prepare for war, and the war.blood
in Mexico became excited. Responding
to public sentiment the Mexican gov
eminent sent her ultimatum, which was
that Guatemala abandon her claim on
the territory and pay the indemnity de-
manded. To this tho little republic
replied that she would not retire from
her position, and that so far as indemu-
ity was concerned it was duo to her
and not to Mexico.
This is the situation and there seems
no way out Of the complication save
through war, unless a wiser counsel
prevails aud the matter is again sub.
mitted TO the arbitration OF the United
States. Future developments will be
watched with much interest in this
country, where it is hoped that tho
worst may be nverted.
