Mr. Herbert to Mr. Bayard.

Washington, December 5, 1888. (Received December 5.)

Sir: With reference to the case of the seizure of four British sealing ships in Behring Sea, I have the honor to inclose, for convenience of reference, copy of Lord Sackville’s dispatch of October 12^* (without its inclosure) to your Department, as I have been instructed by the Marquis of Salisbury to call your attention to the fact that up to the present no answer has been received, and to beg the favor of an early reply.

I have, etc.,

Arthur Herbert

For

M. H. Herbert.
