Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 9, 1891

Mr. Egan to Mr. Blaine.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
January 21, 1892. (Received January 22, 1:40 a.m.)

The minister of foreign affairs, in an interview on the 18th instant, promised that after his colleagues had been consulted in reference to withdrawal of the telegram of the 11th of December to appoint another interview to communicate his answer. I have been awaiting it, but it has not yet been received. The Herald correspondent has been told by the undersecretary that the telegram had been withdrawn in Washington in a way that was entirely satisfactory to the President of the United States. Is it true?

Egan.
