Excerpt from Boundary Between Mexico and Guatemala: Message From the President of the United States, Transmitting a Communication From the Secretary of State Relative to the Boundaries Between Mexico and Guatemala Sir: In previous dispatches I have had occasion to mention the nu satisfactory relations between Guatemala and Mexico, arising from their unsettled boundary line. I have now to report that these relations are growing still less satis factory, and that an open rupture between the two countries is not an improbable result of the. Near future. The state of Chiapas in Mexico, as well as Guatemala, belonged to the old captain-generalcy up to the period of the termination of the lat ter, when the people of the former state elected to attach themselves to Mexico, under the short reign of Iturbide, whom the Guatemaltecos new charge with having forced the state from them. A certain portion of Soconusco, a province of Chiapas, has become the modern bone of contention between the two countries, not so much because of the value of the territory perhaps, as because of an important river, with a fair harbor on the Pacific, which traverses it.
