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

Mr. Wharton to Mr. Hirsch.

Department of State,
Washington, June 14, 1892.

No. 342.]

Sir: The Department was highly gratified to learn by your No. 456, of 28th ultimo, that on the 15th of May, 1892, the Porte issued a circular informing the local authorities that “until the framing of a decision by the Government in explanation of the former instructions, the present condition of schools and places of worship is not to be interfered with.”

Your action in the matter justly merits the fall approval of the Government.

I am, etc.,

William F. Wharton,
Acting Secretary.
