Legation of Portugal in the United States,
New York, August 7, 1888. (Received August 8.)

Mr. Secretary of State: My Government has just instructed me to inform you that the tribes of Quissembo have submitted to the authority of the Government of Portugal, and that the original ground for the blockade having been removed, the blockade itself has therefore been raised, and the port is again opened to the commerce of all the powers.

I avail, etc.,

Baron d’Almeirim,
Consul in Charge of the Business of the Legation of Portugal.
