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

Mr. Gresham to Señor Romero.

Department of State,
Washington , July 9, 1894 .

Sir: I have the honor to state with reference to the demand of your Government for the extradition of Inez Ruiz and Jesus Guerra, that the Department is advised that they have applied for writs of habeas corpus from the United States court in Texas, and therefore feels obliged to delay action on your request for their extradition until the court has passed upon their application.

Accept, etc.,

W. Q. Gresham.
