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

Mr. Foster to Señor Bolet Peraza.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 17, 1892.

Replying to your letter of yesterday the district attorney has asked further detention of the South Portland until Monday, the 19th. You and your counsel should present any information or argument directly to him, as he must decide whether there is probable cause for the institution of legal proceedings. I have no discretion in the matter.

John W. Foster.
