No. 133.]

Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith a copy and translation of the law¹ enacted by the National Constituent Assembly electing Gen. Luis Mena as President for the constitutional term beginning January 1, 1913, and ending January 31, 1916, and Col. Fernando Solorzano as Vice President for the same period. This law was approved in second debate by a vote of 29 to 2.

This double elections has been well received. Since it occurred conditions have had a more settled and peaceful appearance than in sometime.

I have, etc.,

F. M. Gunther.
