Mr. White to Mr. Hay.
Berlin , August 20, 1902 .
Sir: Referring to the embassy’s dispatch No. 2026, of the 7th instant, I have the honor to report that the “Regierungs-Prasident” at Wiesbaden has published an official announcement, under date of August 13, mentioning the orders which were issued last December in the cases of the brothers Albert and Nathan Eisemann, and stating that “no other police grounds, but merely the fact that the brothers had not performed military service prior to their emigration from Prussia had given occasion to their expulsion.” In view of this announcement, of the fact that permission has been granted the brothers to remain in Frankfort on the Main until next April, and of the statements with regard to their wishes in the matter which were made to me by the Messrs. Eisemann and communicated by me to the German foreign office, I shall take no further action in this matter unless positively instructed to do so by you.
I am, etc.,
