Sir: Referring to instruction No. 129, of May 29th last, I have to ask that you will report in the case of Owen Young, the American citizen, whose assassin, notwithstanding the vigorous action of the late minister at Lima, had not at last accounts been arrested. Meantime you will please refer to the correspondence in the case and press the subject of the assassin’s arrest. * * *

I am, &c.,

T. F. BAYARD.
