No. 215.]

Sir: In acknowledging the receipt of your No. 305 of the 2d ultimo, transmitting a copy of the message of President Montt to the Chilean Congress, I can not refrain from expressing the Department’s appreciation of the frank and conciliatory language of President Montt in regard to the adjustment of the Baltimore affair. The telegrams recently exchanged justify the expectations entertained on both sides that a mutually honorable settlement was attainable through the diplomatic resort.

I am, etc.,
