Mr. Adee to Sir Julian Pauncefote.

Department of Stats,
Washington, October 10, 1893.

Excellency: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 5th instant, in relation to the absence of the U. S. land commissioner from Samoa, and the possible failure of the commission to conclude its labors within the specified time.

The Department has impressed upon Mr. Chambers the necessity of making every effort for himself, and, in conjunction with his British and German colleagues, to close up the work of the land commission by the date agreed upon, March 31, 1894.

I have, etc.,

Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary.
