File No. 1229/7.
The British Ambassador to the Secretary of State.
Washington, April 25, 1907.
Dear Mr. Secretary: In continuation of my note No. 86 of April 22 relating to the renunciation of extraterritorial rights in Zanzibar, I have the honor to inform you that I have received a telegram from Sir Edward Grey stating that on March 18 last the German Government notified His Majesty’s ambassador at Berlin of the instructions issued for closing the German court at Zanzibar, and that arrangements have been made for the British court to exercise jurisdiction over German subjects.
Under these circumstances it is hoped that similar instructions may be issued to the United States court as soon as may be convenient. An official notifictaion to me to that effect would terminate the matter.
Believe me, etc.,
