Immediately upon the receipt of the foregoing cablegram I called upon Count Lützow, in charge of the foreign office, in the absence of Count Goluchowski at Ischl with the Emperor, and read the same to him, handing him at the same time a copy.
Count Lützow expressed his thanks for the communication and assured me that the response of the United States to the Chinese edict would be received with much interest and satisfaction by the Imperial and Royal Government.
I have the honor to be, etc.,
