Mr. Herbert to Mr. Foster.

British Legation,
Washington, October 8, 1892.

Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I telegraphed the substance of the conversation which I had the honor to hold with you on the 6th instant in regard to the resignation of the president of the municipal council of Apia, to the Earl of Rosebery, and I have now received a communication from his lordship in reply, in which he states that the Marquis of Salisbury agreed with the German Government that Baron von Pilsach’s resignation should not be accepted. His lordship adds, however, that if it should be again tendered and that the process should appear to be periodical, he would be disposed to reconsider the question in the light of later information.

I have, etc.,

Michael H. Herbert
