25. British Minister delivered yesterday formal protest against cancellation vote for Amory concessions. Note sustains original thesis that the annulment of the laws and acts of Tinoco is unconstitutional and declares that the British Government has a direct interest in concession. Government of Costa Rica is much concerned at British attitude and at intelligence that the cruiser Cambrian will shortly return to Punta Arenas and remain in Costa Rican waters a month.
