Baron Fava to Mr. Adee.

[Telegram—Translation.]

My Government telegraphs me to ascertain the views of the Federal Government concerning the telegrams sent to their respective Governments by the ministers at Pekin, and how the Japanese proposition of an armistice for the release of the legations was received by the United States. I beg you to write me very courteously this evening on the subject, so as to enable me to answer without delay. Thanks.

Fava.
