Dear Mr. Secretary: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 21st instant calling my attention to the report that Spanish officials have, on two recent occasions, been brought away from Habana on board H. M. S. Talbot.

I have asked Her Majesty’s consul-general at Habana by cable for a report on the case, and shall not fail to apprise you of such information as I may receive.

I am, etc.,
