The Presidents message began as

The Gil Blaz newspaper OF to-day
will say it was Guatemala's ambition to
get Mexico into war. Preparations were
pushed so vigorously up to short time
ago by this country that Guatemala was
forced to dcsist by lack OF funds for
armins and cquippins troops to push
against the forces modified by Mexico
on the southern frontior. The action OF
Guatemala in refusing to pay further
interest on it's foreign debt proved n
swift .boomerau: upon itself when it
tried to raise the necessary amount to
replcnish military store1. Having no
other alternative. Guatemala has com.
ple;oly broken down, and will do any
thing in future to guard peace with
Mexico.
