No. 81.]
Washington , June 6, 1888.
Sir: I inclose copy of a letter from Mr. Leonard Myers, of Philadelphia, relating to the claim of the Panama Star and Herald against the Government of Colombia.*
As this case does not fall within the lines of the negotiations begun some time ago in reference to the settlement of claims for destruction of property during the disturbances on the Isthmus, it is hoped the Colombian Government will consider and adjust the claim on its merits and without reference to the method of disposing of other classes of claims.
I am, etc.,
T. F.
Bayard.
