Mr. Sampson to Mr. Hay.

No. 300.]

Sir: Your cable messagea was received on the 25th instant, directing me to request the Government of Ecuador to permit United States consular officers to continue to represent Cuban interests in said Republic until Cuban consuls shall have been appointed. I promptly made the request, and have President Plaza’s answer that my request is granted. I have, as directed, notified United States consular officers in Ecuador.

I have, etc.,

Archibald J. Sampson.
