The President directs that you hasten to convey through the Wai-wu Pu to His Highness the Prince Regent his high appreciation of the Prince Regent’s prompt action in instructing that arrangements be made through the American chargé d’affaires for equal participation of American capital in the railway loan as requested by the President in his telegram to the Prince Regent of July 15. The President especially appreciates the cordial spirit of His Imperial Highness’s message.
