Mr. Olney to Mr. Eustis.

[Telegram–Confidential.]

Department of State,
Washington, November 22, 1895.

Do I understand that Waller refuses to assent to his release on condition of waiving indemnity absolutely, and with full knowledge of all the facts, and of the inevitable conclusion deducible from his intercepted letters? Does present foreign minister repeat offer of predecessor that you may see the record, and, if seen by you, what limitations are put upon the knowledge so derived? Is any general Madagascar amnesty proposed? If so, would it not be unconditional, and would not Waller be included? Cable answer.

Olney
