Mr. Adee to Mr. Muruaga.

Department of State,
Washington, March 26, 1894.

My dear Mr. Minister: Upon the receipt of your note of yesterday’s date, informing him of an attack by an armed mob on the Spanish cigar makers at Key West, the Secretary at once brought the matter to the attention of the governor of Florida by telegraph for proper action by him. The governor’s reply has just reached us, stating that he has instructed the captain of the company of State troops at Key West to aid the civil authorities in preserving peace.

I am, etc.,

Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.
