File No. 312:52/254a.

The Secretary of State to Consul General Hanna.

[Telegram—Extract.]

Department of State,
Washington, April 27, 1914.

The Department regrets profoundly your arrest by the Federal authorities and the indignities to which you were subjected at their hands; and rejoices that you escaped without physical injury. It sympathizes with you in the humiliation which you feel at the outrage suffered by you as the representative of your Government; question of redress will have due consideration.
