Mr. Taylor to Mr. Gresham.
Madrid , November 7, 1893 . (Received November 20.)
Sir: I have to-day received your No. 48, of the 26th ultimo, as to the authorized version of the Cuban repertory which the Spanish minister has promised to certify and transmit to Spain.
I have already communicated the contents of your dispatch to the Spanish Government, with an urgent request to the minister of state to hand the same at once to the minister of ultramar, with a request that he will send a telegraphic instruction to Cuba ordering the publication of the copy of the repertory already there, so that further delay maybe avoided. Until I have first addressed the secretary of state, I can not gain access to the minister of ultramar. From a letter I addressed to you yesterday, you will learn of the desire expressed to me on the 4th instant by the minister of state, to go over, in a personal interview, all matters now pending between the two countries, with a view to their friendly solution.
I am etc.,
