Mr. Wharton acknowledges the receipt of Mr. Mizner’s telegram of this date; asks Mr. Mizner if the attack upon the consulate was made by the Government’s order or at the instigation of rioters; directs him to make a full and detailed report on the subject; instructs him to say that, unless the rights of the Government and citizens of the United States are observed, the President will be compelled to devise measures for their enforcement; and directs him, if necessary, to proceed to the capital of Salvador and demand that the consul be reinstated and protected.
