[Telegram.—Paraphrase.]

Department of State,
Washington, October 12, 1904.

(Mr. Hay states that the President is very much disturbed over the failure of the Persian Government to punish the murderers of Mr. Labaree. If no immediate satisfaction is given, he will be constrained to lay the matter before Congress and recommend such actions as may lead to a compliance with our demand for effective justice.)
