Mr. Adee to Governor Foster.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 11, 1899.

The Italian ambassador inquires what progress has been made by the State authorities in the investigation of the lynching of Italians at Tallulah. The President requests me to express to you the gratification it would afford him to be enabled to assure the ambassador, what he can not doubt, that the justice of the State proves potential for the pursuit and punishment of the offenders.

Alvey A. Adee,
Acting Secretary of State.
