File No. 853.00/191.

The American Chargé d’Affaires to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Department’s June 6. It is probable that Constituent Assembly will definitely proclaim the Republic on 22d instant but several weeks may elapse before a constitution is decided upon and President chosen. Am I to understand the proclamation of the Republic by the Assembly to mean definite and final action?
