Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 2, 1902

Mr. Choate to Mr. Hay.

[Telegram.]

American, Embassy,
London, July 10, 1902.

Referring to your cablegram of the 9th instant relating to Boer prisoners in Bermuda, am informed that governor has been instructed. My dispatch No. 894, of the 5th instant, gives details to effect that foreign prisoners wishing to leave may do so at their own expense; that remainder may be handed over to respective consuls if their governments desire to make special arrangements for their removal; if not, they must wait until the British Government can conveniently repatriate them.

Choate.
