File No. 422.11G93/696.
The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister of Ecuador.
Washington, October 30, 1913.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of the 28th instant in which, referring to the assurance which you had previously given that the phrase “juicio final” meant an unappealable judgment, you state that you have received from your Government a cablegram reading as follows: “Congress empowers Executive to accept unappealable award.”
You are so good as to suggest that in view of the assurances which have been given, Judge Miller may be requested to proceed with the performance of his duties as arbitrator.
It gives me pleasure to advise you that the Department is writing to Judge Miller and requesting him to proceed to Ecuador at his earliest convenience.
Accept [etc.]
