Port au Prince, August 1, 1915.

Your July 28, 6 p.m., complied with upon receipt, and at the time French Minister made no objection. Last night he called at the Legation and said that he had received instructions to ask for a French guard within the Legation premises, this guard to have no part in military operations but will be simply a legation guard placed at French Legation to enforce respect for French flag. He had already conferred with Admiral and arrangements had been made for change of guards tomorrow morning.
