No. 379.
General Sickles to Mr. Fish.

[Telegram.]

Madrid, January 30, 1873.

In view of the frequent interruption of communications by telegraph and post between Madrid and the frontier, and having reasons to anticipate very soon a change in the form of this government, I beg you to instruct me as to my line of conduct in case the existing Congress shall declare itself a convention and appoint a new executive.

SICKLES.
