Sir: Referring to my note of the 10th
ultimo, in which I had the honor to request that the necessary steps
should be taken to secure the permission of the Russian Government
for the dispatch of a neutral vessel to Caparison Djaore, I beg to
inform you that I am in receipt of telegraphic instructions from his
excellency the minister for foreign affairs, in which he informs me
that it has been learned from the Russian Government Gazette that
the Japanese subjects who were at that place have been transferred
to the interior. Under these circumstances the Imperial Government
no longer consider it necessary to send a neutral vessel for the
withdrawal of these people, and I am therefore instructed to inform
you of this decision, and at the same time to express to you the
cordial thanks of the Imperial Government for the trouble which you
have already taken in the premises.
Accept, etc.,
