Mr. Conger to Mr. Blaine .

[Extract.]
No. 31.]

Sir: I have the honor to report that the constitutional congress met on the 15th day of November last, and after having considered the constitution submitted by the Provisional Government adopted it with but few amendments.

In addition to the election of Gen. Deodora as President, of which I informed you by cable, Gen. Floriana Peixoto was elected Vice-President, and the day after the election the President was inaugurated, taking the oath of office in the presence of the members of Congress and a large number of citizens.

There were no special ceremonies attendant upon the inauguration, and, as no invitation was extended to the diplomatic corps, I was not present.

I have, etc.,

E. H. Conger.
