The Acting Secretary of State to Minister Wilson.

[Telegram.]

Department of State,
Washington, December 6, 1907.

Ambassador Reid telegraphs substance of a conversation he has had with British minister for foreign affairs in which he indicated the disposition of the British Government to make some informal representations regarding Kongo affairs and intimated that British minister to Belgium might concert with you on the subject.

You will be instructed later—probably Monday—as to your course, and if in the meantime the British minister should approach you you will advise the department of such suggestions as he may make.

Bacon.
