perfume moment to confirm here the rec
tification made in the diaries of the
State in regard to the President of the
United States in his last inaugural
address in stating that the boundary
question which threatened to cause a
rupture between Guatemala and Mex
leo was before the american Minister,
whereas this question had been con-
