Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your telegram of the 24th instant, instructing me, at the
request of the President of Cuba, to ask the Government of Mexico to
permit the United States consular officers within its jurisdiction to
use their good offices in representation of the interests of Cuba and of
its citizens until Cuban consuls shall have been appointed.
I inclose a copy of my note to the foreign office on the subject, and
copy and translation of its reply, stating that the Mexican Government
has no objection to the exercise, as desired, of good offices by United
States consular officials within its jurisdiction.
I have to-day notified by letter the United States consular officers in
Mexico that this permission has been granted by the Mexican
Government.
I have, etc.,
[Inclosure 1.]
