Mr. Hill to Mr. Dudley.
Washington, July 21, 1902.
Sir: I have to acknowledge the receipt of your No. 621 of the 28th ultimo, reporting that you had received the request by members of the Cuban colony in Lima to be allowed to register their names in your legation, and that you had allowed them to register provisionally pending an expression of the Department’s views.
Your action is approved.
It is not the Department’s intention, and it is presumed not to have been the wish of the Cuban Government, to exclude legations from the exercise of good offices for Cuban citizens in case of need, to the same extent as requested and authorized in the case of our consular officers. They may be registered.
I am, etc.,
Acting Secretary.
