Mr. White to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Embassy of the United States.
Berlin, May 9, 1899.

(Mr. White states that there is much reason to anticipate an unfavorable report of the committee to Parliament on the meat inspection bill, but statement that such report has been made is premature, and that the Government is exerting itself in behalf of the original bill, which is fairly satisfactory to the Government of the United States. Also that he is shortly to see Minister von Bülow with reference to the subject.)
