File No. 3294/32–33.

Ambassador White to the Secretary of State.

No. 41.]

Sir: Referring to your cable of the 13th instant, a copy of which I inclose herewith, directing me to ascertain whether the continued detention of Jacobs at Marseilles is in compliance with French law, I have the honor to state that, according to information obtained informally, the prolongation of Jacobs’s imprisonment has been due to the difficulty of making suitable arrangements for his transfer to the Argentine Republic. Now, however, the matter is settled, and the prisoner will leave on the 20th instant.

I have, etc.,

Henry White.
