The Chilean Chargé to the Secretary of State.
Washington , July 16, 1910 .
Sir: I have the honor to inform your excellency that I duly conveyed to his excellency the President of Chile the American Government’s desire, expressed through the department under your excellency’s worthy charge, to show the most excellent Mr. Montt, when he passes through New York, some special attentions compatible with the delicate condition of his health, and I mentioned the satisfaction with which his excellency’s acceptance would be received.
I received yesterday a telegram from our diplomatic representative at Panama forwarding to me his excellency the President’s instructions, which direct me to express to your excellency and your Government his thanks for the tendered honors, which he is fortunately able to accept by reason of a favorable turn taken by the state of his health.
In voicing the sentiments of his excellency the President, I take the liberty of informing your excellency that the most excellent Mr. Montt will embark at Colon for New York on board the S. S. Tagus, of the Royal Mail Line, due at that port on the 6th of August, and will proceed to Europe on the 9th of the same month, at 10 a.m., on board the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, of the North German Lloyd.
I have the honor, etc.,
