Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 5, 1898

[Telegram.]

Mr. Day to Mr. Gage.

Department of State,
Washington, April 2, 1898.

Sir: In view of a telegram just received from Ambassador Draper, I would suggest that the order to discontinue the Italian bureau at Ellis Island, N. Y., be either suspended or revoked for a short time, as it is not desirable to provoke unnecessary feeling on the part of the Italian officials at Rome.

Day.
