The assassination of ex-President Barillas by a Guate malan developed in Mexico a feeling of indigation and a strong protest by public opinion against such a crimi nal action, more so when it was known that General Lima, from Guatemala, was suonospd to hp impli cated. Mexico asked for the extra dition of General Lima, not as com pulsory under the treaty, but offering Guatemala the orivilpap that miorht have been accepted. Guatemala de clined, and this was the end of the conflict "There remains in Mexico a feel inar of arrievance and rntirl.mn.finn in public sentiment, but not a spirit of war.
