Washington, April 17, 1883.
Sir: I have received and read with attention your dispatch No. 537, of the 31st ultimo, in which you report the insurrectionary movement undertaken by certain Haytian exiles at Miragoâne, and transmit the correspondence exchanged between yourself and Mr. Damier in relation thereto.

I am &c.,
