Department of State,
Washington, November 1, 1899.

Sir: Referring to the Department’s note of June 5 last and your reply of the 8th of the same month, I have the honor to ask whether you have received any information relative to the action of the Chilean congress in the matter of the payment of the claim of the heirs of Patrick Shields.

The Department hopes that the payment may be made at an early date.

Accept, etc.,

John Hay.
