Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Foster.

Washington, January 11, 1893.

Sir: I have the honor to inform you that Her Majesty’s consul at Apia has reported to Her Majesty’s Government that Baron Senfft von Pilsach declines to furnish the consuls of the treaty powers with copies of his quarterly financial reports unless he receives a joint instruction from the powers to do so.

The Earl of Rosebery has accordingly instructed me to propose to your Government that joint action should be taken with this object.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
