Sir: I have to report that I to-day ascertained from the French chargé d’affaires that he had come to an agreement with the Haitian Government, whereby the French-Haitian treaty, which had been denounced by Haiti and was to expire April 30, is to be extended for six months, to give oportunity for further negotiation looking to a permanent treaty.

The agreement has been written, and only awaits authorization from the French Government for the formal signing.

I have, etc.,

H. W. Furniss.
