[Received 8 p. m.]
3782. Your 2838, 8th. Foreign Office advises me informally that on the night of February 11 five cases were still awaiting decision, namely: Boker Cutlery and Hardware Company, Lists, Sondheimer and Company, Otto Goetz, A. and H. Veith, Marshall Field and Company. The papers in all these cases have been sent to London and are being examined here. A long delay is not anticipated but they take a certain time to go through. On the morning of February 12, 15 new applications were received by telegraph from Washington. Since January 18 Foreign Office have dealt with 134 applications and state that there are actually only 20 cases awaiting consideration.
