Cry OF MExIco, January 2S.-
PRESIDENT Diaz hastily summoned a
connect OF ministers yesterday after
noon and remained several hours in
consultation with them. AS the
mouths OF all officials are sealed to
inquiries 1t IS Impossible to learn
dlhnitejy the objcc: Of the meeting.
II Is Renerally understood, however,
tho chief topic was offer made by the
United States Government to medl
ate between Mexico aud Guatemala.
The prospect of the slightest in.
tervention on the part of the United
States has ELECTED very bitter re
marks from many public men, and
hns caused considerable excitement
among the people. The war fever
runs 50 high TINT any power irving
TO avert 1t must reckon with the
hostility of public opinion. In the
streets aud places OF popular resort
there is but one sentiment and that
is IN favor of Mexico settling her
dIlterences with Guatemala, once
Tor all, without toletation of outside
Influences.
