[Inclosure in No. 67.—Translation.]

Mr. Valera to Mr. Taylor.

Excellency: The minister of ultramar—to whom I communicated the courteous note of your excellency, dated the 7th instant, requesting the transmission of telegraphic orders to the authorities of the Island of Cuba for the publication of the copy of the Spanish version of the repertory relative to the commercial agreement with the United States—tells me that as soon as the authorized copy of the original Spanish is received in that ministry, and if the close examination to which said copy will be subjected should not disclose any difficulty, he will endeavor to satisfy the wishes of the Government of the United States, availing himself of the circumstance of there existing another copy of the above mentioned document in Havana.

I avail, etc.,

By order.

Joaquin Valera,
Subsecretary.
