Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I have received last night a cable from my Government by which I have been advised that Dr. Carlos R. Tobar, Secretary of Foreign Relations, has resigned, in view that his candidacy for President of the Republic has been issued lately, and therefore Dr. Antonio Arcos has been appointed to this portfolio of which nomination I beg to inform the State Department.
