Embassy of the United States.
London , January 23, 1896 .

Published telegraphic correspondence represents uniform, humane, and indulgent personal treatment of all prisoners, including Americans, by Boer Government. On my application Colonial Secretary Chamberlain immediately telegraphed Sir Hercules Robinson to make special inquiry into condition of Hammond and other Americans. Will inform you promptly of result.
