Regarding the Red Cross ship Hamburg. Government here disposed to do everything it can to aid. Hope to-morrow to be able to cable you that instructions for issuing safe-conduct papers have been cabled to French Consul at New York. Meanwhile owing to necessary delays due to process of getting settled here, Foreign Office suggests that sailing be postponed until Tuesday at earliest.
