Mr. Buck to Mr. Hay.

Legation of the United States,
Tokyo, Japan, December 28, 1900.

No. 528.]

Sir: I have the honor to confirm my telegram^a of date the 26th instant, relating to registration and taxation of houses in the former foreign settlements.

Having received no instructions in respect of the matters discussed in my dispatch of April 7 and July 6 last, and much anxiety being expressed by American residents in the late foreign settlements and many inquiries made as to the position the United States assumed, pending action by the Japanese Government upon the protests of Great Britain, France, and Germany, expected very soon, I thought it necessary to telegraph as above.

I have, etc.

A. E. Buck.
