Monsieur le Ministre: I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your excellency’s note No. 352, dated the
26th instant, asking, under instructions from the United States
Government, given at the request of the President of Cuba, that the
Imperial Government should permit United States consuls in Japan to

and its citizens until Cuban consuls shall have been appointed.
I beg to state, in reply, that, although the Imperial Government are
not yet in receipt of any official communication as regards the
establishment of the State of Cuba, yet they have no objection as to
the United States consuls using their good offices in representation
of the interests of Cubans in Japan.
I avail, etc.,

Affairs.
