No. 875.
Mr. Bayard to Mr. Romero.
Washington, May 28, 1888.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge, with satisfaction, the receipt of your note of the 23d instant saying that two of the horses—the third having died—and arms detained by the authorities at Janos, would be delivered to Mr. J. J. E. Lindberg, at El Paso, Texas; also offering to pay the price of the dead animal, if it shall appear that he died owing to any neglect or ill-treatment on the part of those who had the horse in charge.
Mr. Lindberg has been communicated with upon the subject, and the Secretary of the Treasury has instructed the collector of customs at El Paso to admit the property to free entry.
Accept, etc.,
