Mr. Hay to Mr. Sorsby.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 17, 1899.

Claim all exemptions, privileges, and immunities accorded by Nicaragua by treaty to consuls of any other most favored foreign nation. If none such are accorded by treaty between Nicaragua and other foreign State, Clancy may testify touching facts which came to his knowledge in his merely personal and unofficial capacity, but not as to facts or communications obtained in his capacity as consular agent. If he so testifies, report to the Department copy of questions and answers.

Hay.
