TELEGRAMS SENT BY SEC. GRESHAM This Country Averse to Recourse to Arms. ——— THE HOPE FINALLY REALIZED — a CITY OF MEXICO, May 2.—The recent telegrams of Secretary Gresham showing the part taken by the United States in averting war between Mexico and Guate- mala are given in the correspondence sub- mitted to the Mexican senate in executive session. The letters have not yet been given to the public, but those between Washington and Mexico show the follow- ing: The boundary trouble had reached a criti- cal stage a few months ago, when Mexico submitted an ultimatum, which, if not ac- cepted, meant that war would be declared. America’s Wishes Stated. Thereupon, on January 2i last, Mr. Gres- ham telegraphed to Minister Gray at Mex- ico City as follows: “Gray, minister, Mexico: The terms of the demand of Mexico against Guatemala have been obtained from the ministers of both countries. The present controversy relates to the boundary treaty of 1882 be- tween Mexico and Guatemala, and the con- clusion of which was due, in great part, to the mediation of the United States, in con- sequence of which the President was led to express his earnest hope that the two neighboring countries would not neglect any means of adjusting their differences, and that, in case they should not succeed, would submit them to friendly arbitration. The President did not wish to believe that Mexico would have hasty recourse to arms. The United States, by its example, has con- tributed to this principle of arbitration, and, in the opinion of the same President, Mexico would not wish to fail in the moral obligation of extending the beneficial influ- ence.of this principle to ail the states of the American continent. “Please communicate to the minister of foreign affairs the substance of this order, sending him a copy of the same, if he 60 desires. (Signed) “GRESHAM.” In view of the tension at that particular time, Mr. Gresham's expression that “the President did not wish to believe that Mexico would have hasty recourse to arms” had a special bearing on Mexico's warlike ultimatum. Mexico's Acknowledgment. On the following day Mr. E. C. Butler, United States charge d'affaires in Mexico, submitted Mr Gresham’s telegram to Senor Mariscal, minister of foreign affairs, who acknowledged it with the following state- ment: “The Mexican government has very care- fully considered the telegram from Wash- ington addressed to the commissioner of affairs of the United States of America re- siding in this city, respecting the question now pending between Mexico and Guate- mala. The two countries gratefully ac- knowledge its friendly spirit and the pru- dent character of its observations. The question being today debated proceeds from the fact that Guatemala attempted to evade the fulfillment of the treaty of 1882, which when concluded, thanks to the impartial and judicious conduct of the United States, decided President Barrios to enter into negotiations for the boundary treaty. Today this nation has .committed the offense of employing force while the discussion was pending on the right to certain territories, which, even by the con- fession of Guatemala, was assigned by the treaty to Mexico. This government con- siders it a point of national honor not to submit to arbitration if satisfaction is due it for these offenses. However, it will be pleased to accept friendly arbitration in fixing the indemnity from Guatemala.” No Intervention Intended. On January 21 Senor Romero, Mexican minister at Washington, notified his gov- ernment of a meeting with Mr. Gresham, and adds: “In the course of the conversation Mr. Gresham showed me that his telegram to Mr. Gray did not imply any intervention of this government, either with regard to im- posing conditions on the Mexican govern- ment, and this telegram would not prevent Mexico from doing as scemed best to it, in its question with Guatemala.” Senor Romero further informed his gov- ernment on January 25 that Secretary Gresham had spoken to Senor Lazo Ar- riaga, ‘who had informed him that, by virtue of-the opinion expressed by Mr. Gresham, that the persistence of Mr. Miles Rock, a$ chief of the commission of the Guatemalan boundaries, was embarrassing to the United States on account of ais be- ing a citizen of the United States, and at- tributing to him, in part, the pending diffi- culties, the government of Guatemala had agreed to remcve him from this office.” Plan of Settlement Proposed. On February 6 Secretary Gresham sent another long telegram to Minister Gray, outlining a plan of settlement which Gua- temala had proposed. In acknowledging this the Mexican min- ister of foreign affairs writes to Mr. Butler, United States charge d'affaires, as follow “1 have received a copy of the telegram sent by the Hon. Mr. Gresham on the diffi- culties between this country and Guate- mala. Soon afterward it was explained to you that it was not certain that the Guate- malan government had submitted to Mex- ico the proposition shown to me, nor any other, in answer to our demands. The proposition, which was indicated as having come from Washington, is substantially the same as that other, which, without any in- structions, and which Senor Romero sent as through Mr, Gresham. The proposition is not approved by this government, which in no form can consider the proposition of arbitration on what we consider a question of our national honor, the same being en- tirely inadequate for a question of this kind. This does not imply a refusal to dis- cuss any proposition which Guatemala may make here in orde. to reach a peaceful so- ‘ution. On the contrary, the Mexican gov- ernment strongly desires to reach just such a result, and will be glad thus to realize ihe hope of the President of the United States.” The hope of the officiais at Washington was soon after realized, by the conclusion of a peace largely in accordance with the requests from Washington.

The resident alumni of old Union Col- lege held their first annual banquet last evening at the Hotel Page in honor of the centennial year of the foundation of the college in 1795. A short social meeting was held in the parlors, at which officers were elected, and at 8 o'clock the ban- queting room was opened and the alumni and friends sat down to the beautifully decorated table. The menu card was hand- semely adorned with engraving of scenes around the old college,.and on both sides the college color of garnet, and amid this was printed Fitzhugh Ludlow’s “Song to Old Union.” Dr. John M. Gregory of the class of '46 presided, with Rey. Dr. A. V. V. Raymond, the president of the college, on his right and Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin on his left. with the members of the various classes from 1£36 to 189% arranged in the order of seniority of graduation. Dr. Gregory wel- ecmed the alumni, and spoke of the old college times and the changes in colleges since his day, and of the prospects of the future in college work, and then introduced President Raymond as the representative of the new college administration. President Raymond gave an exceedingly interesting history of the college during recent years, of the difficulties that have been overcome, and of the wonderful progress of the last year or two, stating that the undergraduates now numbered 400. He said Union College would be kept as an undergraduate college, and its num- bers limited to the good work that can actually be done. He compared the larger and smaller institutions, and claimed that professors who were making their reputa- tions usually did their best work in train- ing students. He discussed the question of educated leadership in the- state, busi- ness, and in every sphere of life, and the influence of wealth as compared with edu- cation, closing with the record of what Union College had done, especially in the work of educational leadership, with thirty college presidents furnished from its grad- uates. Other Speeches. Dr. Teunis S. Hamlin, class "67, followed with a warm tribute to Dr. Raymond's work in the college, and spoke of the happy faculty the president had of making the wants of the college known, and the good results following, comparing him to Dr. McCosh of Princeton. Geo. C. Hazelton, class of ’58, acting as temporary toastmas- ter, gave an eloquent tribute to the college of olden days, to the great work it had done, to the great men it had reared and -to what had been done for education in 100 years, and especially the last forty years, the most important in this ration’s history. He said it took forty years to make a man, and alluded to the fact that at the table there were men from the class of 1836 to 1896, a stretch of sixty years, which repre- sented so much in America and the world. Mr. Hazelton said he would apply the five- minute rule as used in Congress, and would begin with the man who had done most to bring this association into existence, and called upon Weston Flint, class of 60, who gave a sketch of efforts to have a meet- ing of old Union men, and of its happy realization, followed by some interesting . sketches of the college days thirty-five years ago under Dr. Nott and Taylor Lewis, and of the peculiar ability of Dr. Nott in his old age. A. A. Hosmer, '57, followed with the old college song, “The Broad Old Seat of Stone,” and W. H. Smith, ’46, and W. W. Dean of '37 made brief speeches, and Nathan Reeve of the class of '36, still vig- orous and active, spoke of Dr. Nott as he was in his prime. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, '55, followed with an interesting sketch of what the men of his class and others had done in making new states in the great west and their in- fluence in education. Short talks were made by N. E. Webster of the youngest class of "96, by Sidney P. York, °54; Gen- eral Rufus Tryon, "58; and by Dr. T. G. Addison, jr., ’85..
