Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 8, 1908

File No. 2126/120.

Minister Furniss to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

American Legation,
Port au Prince, February 10, 1908.

Our consular agent at Gonaives has telegraphed: “Haitian refugees are out.”

Investigation shows that they escaped from the consulate at their own risk and peril.

Consul of the United States at Cape Haitien has reported that he has five Haitian refugees who took no part in the revolution, and will probably be allowed to leave consulate.

Furniss.
