Letter
Señor Don George Williamson to the captain commanding any of the Pacific mail-steamers off or near the port of San José de Guatemala, or to the commanders of any American vessels at or near said port, April 25, 1874
[Inclosure 1 in No. 146 bis.—Telegram.]
Mr. Williamson to the captain commanding any of the Pacific mail-steamers off or near the port of San José de Guatemala, or to the commanders of any American vessels at or near said port.
United States Legation in Central America, Guatemala, April 25, 1874—8½ a.m.
The President of Guatemala wishes yon to deliver on shore the person of Don José Maria Gonzalez, who has committed a grave outrage upon the persons of American citizens and British subjects. I second his wish, and request you to do so at once.
No one can claim an asylum from our country who has violated the laws of civilized life to the extent Mr. Gonzalez has done.
I am, &c.,
GEO. WILLIAMSON.
