Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, For the Year 1887, Transmitted to Congress, With a Message of the President, June 26, 1888

No. 467.
Mr. Bayard to Mr. Manning.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, May 11, 1887.

Reports concerning executions at Nogales have been most conflicting since 6th instant. Your telegram announcing appeal is just received with satisfaction. This Government would view with deep regret the imposition of a penalty so extreme, and you are instructed to say that a mitigation would be regarded by us with favor.

Bayard.
