Mr. Blaine to Mr. Lawton.

No. 84.]

Sir: I have received your dispatch (No. 121) of the 2d instant, with which you inclose copies of correspondence with the ministry of foreign affairs relative to the expulsion from Austria of one Hugo Klamer, a naturalized citizen of the United States.

Your presentation of the case appears to have been discreet and proper, and is accordingly approved. You will continue with the same due discretion to look after the case and see that any rights to which Mr. Klamer may be entitled by treaty or by the law of nations are not infringed without due appeal for his protection.

I am, etc.,

James G. Blaine.
