The Ambassador in Chile (Culbertson) to the Secretary of State

101. My telegram number 96, June 22, noon, was sent on information furnished orally by officials at the Foreign Office, but when I received the text of the decree I found that it varied in several [Page 566] substantial respects from their assurances. I recommend therefore that the plan for the extension of the service to Chile be held in abeyance until a satisfactory decree is signed. I will confer with the Minister of War and others this week and I hope that the revised decree will be signed soon.
