Sir: Referring to previous correspondence in regard to the extension of our naval station at Guantánamo, I have the honor to report that I was told by the Cuban secretary of state this morning that the survey has now been finished and that engineer may be expected to make his final report, through the department of public works, within a few days. Everything appears to be satisfactory.

I have, etc.,

John B. Jackson.
