No. 106. Mr. Williamson to Mr. Fish.

United States Legation in Central America, Guatemala, May 15, 1874. (Received June 18.)

No. 153.]

Sir: I have the honor to inclose you two copies of a small pamphlet issued by the government of Guatemala, embodying the correspondence with the British chargé d’affaires in regard to the outrage upon Mr. John Magee, the British vice-consul at San José, of which I gave you a full account in my No. 146 bis.

As it might be inferred, from the statement made in the last paragraph of page 5, that I might be somewhat responsible for the wounding of Commandante Gonzalez when he attempted to go on board the Arizona, I send you the original of my telegram, which has been returned to me by Mr. A. D. Moncrieff, agent of Pacific Mail Steamship Company at San José, as undelivered, and also original of his letter inclosing it to me.

I have, &c.,

GEO. WILLIAMSON.
