Mr. Gresham to Baron von Ketteler.

Department of State,
Washington, August 17, 1893.

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of the 17th instant, in which you state that, in view of the peaceful situation at Apia, the Imperial German Government does not consider it necessary to send the U. S. S. Philadelphia, at present en route to Samoa, to that point.

Accept, sir, etc.,
