No. 424.]

Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 672, of the 18th ultimo, in regard to the arbitration of the house-tax question.

The assurance you report as having received from the minister of foreign affairs that the further collection of this tax will be suspended pending the decision of the arbitral court is an apparently satisfactory result of your suggestions in pursuance of telegraphic instructions of January 18 last, to which you refer.

I am, etc.,

Alvey A. Adee.
