American Legation,
Santo Domingo, February 24, 1913.

I am requested to inform you that the Dominican Government has definitively accepted the proposal of the National City Bank, after seriously considering all the objections raised by the National Bank of Santo Domingo. Your instructions have been strictly complied with and I have declared on all occasions that my Government leaves the Dominican Government absolutely free to choose between the two propositions.
