No. 899.]

Sir: I have to acknowledge receipt of the Department’s No. 938 of October 14, instructing this embassy to express the thanks of our Government for the courtesies extended to Captain Mott during the recent maneuvers of the French army, and its profound appreciation of General Brugère’s delicacy in not offering the usual toast to the sovereigns at a dinner given to the foreign officers, owing to the death of President McKinley. This instruction was complied with October 25 last.

I have, etc.,
