Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, Transmitted to Congress, With the Annual Message of the President, December 5, 1892

Mr. Hirsch to Mr. Blaine.

Legation of the United States,
Constantinople, May 13, 1892. (Received May 31.)

No. 448.]

Sir: I have the honor to report receipt of instructions 321 of April 28, and fear that I may not have made myself as clearly understood as I wished in my No. 427, in relation to the closing of the schools and the imprisonment of five teachers in the Garvar district.

These teachers are not American citizens but are natives, and, as stated in my note 98 of that date, “in the employ of the Americans.”

I have, etc.,

Solomon Hirsch.
