The Italian Ambassador to the Secretary of State .

[Translation.]
Royal Embassy of Italy,
Washington , November 26, 1906.
No. 2317.]

Mr. Secretary of State: With reference to previous correspondence and to your latest note No. 410 of the 3d instant, I have the honor to inform your excellency that the royal ministry of the interior having, as you were doubtless advised by the embassy of the United States at Rome, removed the requirement of presenting a certificate attesting that pork products of America intended for import into the Kingdom has been microscopically examined, I instructed by telegraph on yesterday, according to directions received by me, the consuls under the embassy to comply with the recent decision in so far as they were concerned.

I am glad that the Government of the King accepted the guaranty offered by the federal law of June 30, 1906, as sufficient, and was in position to comply with the wishes of the Federal Government.

I renew, etc.,

Mayor.
