Mr. Thompson to Mr. Gresham.

[Telegram.]

Legation of the United States,
Rio de Janeiro, February 2, 1894. (Received February 2.)

Mr. Thompson reports that the insurgents have withdrawn their restrictive orders, that ships of all nationalities are no longer kept from coming to the shore, and notes a favorable progress of commerce, all of which he says is due to the influence of the war vessels of the United States having stopped the insurgents’ fire against American merchant vessels.
