Major LOWTHER(by Private Notice) asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether his attention has been drawn to the report that the City of Guatemala is being bombarded by the forces of General Cabrara; and what steps are being taken to protect the British Legation?
Mr. HARMSWORTHAccording to reports received from His Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires at Guatemala, the City was under intermittent shell-fire from 9th April to 12th April, when an armistice was concluded between the contending parties. The Legation has been slightly damaged, but no casualties have been reported among the British colony. It is hoped that, in view of the conclusion of the Armistice, there will be no further danger to British subjects.
