I do wish the successor Of Lord
Reading. the retiring British Ambas-
sador. would be announced soon. to
put an end to the numerous rumors
that are constantly circulating as to
who will be the next envoy to this
couatry from England. The recent
visit to Paris Of Earl Curzon, gov
ernpient leader In the British House
OF Lords, and Lord President of the
Council, during which he conferred
with American oficials. has led to a
revival OF reports concerning the ap-
poiutment-
The names Of James william Low
ther. Speaker of the House OF Com
mons:: Herbert A. L Fisher. Minister
OF Education. and Sir Albert Stanley.
president of the Board OF Trade. are
being mentioned as possible appointees
TO the ambassadorship.
I Understand the rumor that Louis
Toledo Herrarte is to return to
GuatennaIa where the nomination for
the presidency OF the republic has
been rendered him by the liberal
party. Is not correct
Mr.. Herrarte himself says on the
subject. Neither am /. nor have /
been. nor will / ever be a candidate
for the presidency Of my country.
Moreover. the constitutional presIden-
tial term OF H E. DR.. Don Manuel
Estrada Cabrera, who honors me with
his highly valued friendship. was only
begun two years ago, with the con-
sent and unanimous approval OF the
GuStemalan people. No one. therefore,
is living now a thought in Guate-
sAI L.
there any desire to make any change
in his administration"

The rumors that royalty will be
numbered among the distinguished
