[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, September 16, 1901.

I have received through Signor Carignani the feeling message of sympathy conveyed by your excellency on behalf of the Italian Government. The American Government and people are especially grateful in this hour of sorrow for the condolence of a nation which has so recently suffered through a like horrible crime.
