Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Gresham.

Sir: With reference to my note of the 14th ultimo, respecting hostilities in Samoa, I have now the honor to inform you, in accordance with instructions from the Earl of Kimberley, that Her Majesty’s consul at Apia reported by telegraph on the 27th of March last that he has still hopes that peace may be restored in Samoa, and that he does not share the anxiety felt by his United States colleague.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
