Department of State,
Washington, October 12, 1894.

In reply to your note of the 6th instant I have the honor to say that, while the President earnestly desires that China and Japan shall speedily agree upon terms of peace alike honorable to both, and not humiliating to Korea, he can not join England, Germany, Russia, and France in an intervention, as requested.

W. Q. Gresham.
