The Secretary of State to Minister Dawson.

[Telegram.]

Referring to your telegram received 18th and department’s reply of to-day. We sincerely hope that any difficulty about defining the limits of Jurado will not interfere with the ratification of the treaty. [Page 380] There seems to be some difficulty here about the Panama minister being willing to exchange notes, although I have not yet had an opportunity to talk to him.
