Washington, April 15, 1887. (Received April 19.)
The undersigned has the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the honorable Secretary of State’s note of the 11th instant, relative to passports in the island of Cuba, and hastens to inform him that he has communicated it to his Government, requesting, as already before receiving your note he had examined the matter, that with the urgency that the case required it should issue the necessary orders to avoid any molestation or inconvenience which could prejudice the frequent passage of travelers between the United States and the Antilles.
The undersigned can therefore anticipate that Her Majesty’s Government, always desirous of removing the obstacles which tend to embarrass the relations existing between the citizens of the two countries, will adopt without delay measures conducing to this object, of which timely information shall be communicated to the honorable Secretary of State.
The undersigned, etc.
