Mr. Frelinghuysen to Mr. Valera.

Department of State,
Washington , June 14, 1884.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 2d instant relative to affairs at Key West in connection with the Spanish consulate there.

We appear to be in entire agreement in defining the consul’s attitude and his resort in any emergency of personal danger.

This Government will spare no effort to act upon any other violation of the laws of the United States of which Spain may have cause to complain.

Accept, &c.,
