[Translation.]

Excellency: I have received telegraphic instructions from my Government to-day to inform your excellency that the Government of Nicaragua has issued a decree declaring vacant the commissioner-ship heretofore held by Mr. Moffat, and to ask therefore that your excellency will be good enough to appoint a commissioner to fill the vacancy in accordance with law relative to the formation of the mixed commission recently enacted by the Constituent Assembly.

I avail, etc.,
